Golden Duck Snacks Guide: Compare 6 Asian Flavors

0 Comments

If you've spotted the shiny gold pouches in our new arrivals, you've found Golden Duck — the Singapore-born gourmet snack brand that turned salted egg yolk into a global obsession. Founded in 2015 by Jonathan Shen and Chris Hwang, Golden Duck has grown from a single pop-up stall into a brand sold in 20+ countries, and we're proud to carry six of their signature flavors right here on myAsianStore.com.

With three different snack formats and flavors ranging from rich and eggy to tangy and umami, picking a first bag can be tricky. Here's how every Golden Duck product we carry compares — so you know exactly what you're getting before it lands in your cart.

Breaking Down Each Product

Salted Egg Fish Skin — $13.99

This is the flavor that put Golden Duck on the map. Real fish skin fried to a light, airy crunch, then coated in a glossy salted egg yolk sauce with curry leaf. It's the boldest texture in the lineup — thinner and crispier than a potato chip — and delivers the most concentrated salted-egg richness of anything we carry from the brand.

Salted Egg Potato Ridges — $13.99

The classic, more familiar entry point. Same rich salted egg yolk coating as the fish skin, but on a thick, ridged potato chip instead. If you want to try Golden Duck's signature flavor without committing to fish skin as a format, start here.

Salted Egg Crab Seaweed Tempura — $13.99

Made with real crab meat wrapped in crispy seaweed tempura, then finished with that same creamy salted egg sauce. Think of it as the "hybrid" pick — it has the crunch of the tempura format with the richness of the salted egg range, landing right between the potato and fish skin snacks in intensity.

Chili Crab Seaweed Tempura — $13.99

The same seaweed tempura crunch and real crab meat, but built around Singapore's chili crab flavor instead of salted egg — sweet, tangy, and only mildly spicy. Of all six products we stock, this is the one most likely to appeal to first-timers who find the salted egg range too rich, since it's lighter and less eggy.

Kombu Seaweed Butter Potato Crisps — $5.99

Part of Golden Duck's smaller-format potato crisp line, built around Japanese kombu seaweed. It's intensely umami and buttery — a little goes a long way — and at $5.99 for 125g, it's the most affordable way to try the brand. This one leans savory-only, without the sweetness of the tempura crab flavors.

Sour Cream & Sriracha Potato Crisps — $5.99

The mildest, most Western-familiar flavor we carry. Tangy sour cream balanced against a gentle sriracha heat — a good pick for anyone new to Asian snack flavors, or for pairing with dips at a party where not every guest wants an adventurous bite.

How to Choose

  • Want the "classic" Golden Duck experience? Get the Salted Egg Potato Ridges — it's the flavor that built the brand.
  • Craving something bold and unusual? The Salted Egg Fish Skin is Golden Duck's most distinctive product, texture-wise.
  • Prefer real crab meat and less richness? Go for the Chili Crab Seaweed Tempura.
  • New to Asian snacks entirely? Start with Sour Cream & Sriracha — familiar, mild, and easy to love.
  • Shopping on a budget or just want to sample? The Kombu Seaweed Butter crisps are our lowest-priced Golden Duck item and still deliver serious flavor.
  • Hosting or gifting? Grab a mix of the seaweed tempura flavors ($13.99 each) — they photograph well and offer the most "wow" per bite.

All six Golden Duck flavors are in stock now at myAsianStore.com, and orders over $50 ship free. However you snack, you're getting the same real-ingredient, small-batch quality that made Golden Duck one of Asia's fastest-growing snack brands.
