Eureka Popcorn

I love snacks.  I'm addicted to popcorn.  Since discovering it a few years back, I'm extremely into Singaporean and other Southeast Asian flavors.  So you can imagine how elated I was when I stumbled into a trio of products from Eureka Popcorn that a co-worker brought in to share after returning from Singapore.

"We’re a bunch of popcorn lovers on a mission to spread our snack! It all started with an idea to create the best snack around, (our “myEureka moment”) and from there, we’ve redefined what it means to have a great “Snack Time.”"

Eureka's entire product range is pretty compelling to me, mostly popcorn, with spicy heavy hitters like nasi lemak, mala, kimchi, tom yum,and wasabi, to more muted but still interesting savory flavors such as seaweed, salted egg, or lobster cheese, and of course sweet offerings like matcha, durian (!), cocoa malt, and cereal butter.  They also make mini popiah rolls in different flavors.

I would absolutely *love* to try the durian and salted egg flavors, but was still happy to try the three on offer: chilli crab, spicy cuttlefish, and tomato.  All had perfectly popped large kernels, and all were very well coated in flavoring.  Each and every piece of every variety was a flavor powerhouse.  You couldn't actually eat it too fast, as the flavors were that intense.  But I adored them all, and would love to get my hands on more.

Chilli Crab / Spicy Cuttlefish / Tomato.

Tomato:

"I’m sweet and sour and full of power. What power? I’ll have you craving more!"

I liked this, although I didn't find it sour as described. It mostly tasted to me like a bloody mary. Not a flavor I'd normally go for, but I liked it.  I did really need to be in the mood for strong tomato flavor though.  I probably wouldn't get again, but wouldn't say no if it was gifted to me.  Low 4/5.

Spicy Cuttlefish.

"Come savour the taste of the ocean and burning hot chilli that'll keep you on your toes! Spicy cuttlefish popcorn -- myeureka snack."

Next up, spicy cuttlefish.

Wow.  The flavor was very distinctly identifiable as cuttlefish.  I'm not sure I've had anything quite as clearly cuttlefish flavored before.  If you don't want a fishy flavor, definitely look elsewhere.  But I quite enjoyed it, when in the mood for such a thing.  My favorite of the flavors.  I'd gladly get again.  4.5/5.

Chilli Crab.

Chilli Crab:

"Think of a seafood delicacy, and you'll surely think of chilli crab – created after one of Singapore's national dish, I'm here to satisfy with each mouthful."

Finally perhaps their signature flavor, chilli crab.  In addition to the popcorn, this one also had crispy crab flavored filament sticks, which you see above.  The sticks were nicely crispy, and had a mild fishy flavor.

The popcorn itself I didn't think tasted much like crab.  But it was a bit sweet, and a bit tangy, sorta like bbq that lacked the mesquite or something. Very flavorful even if it doesn't sound it.  I did really like it.  My second favorite of the flavors, and it was fun to have the sticks in there too.  I'd get this again too.  High 4/5.
