Most of the time I would look for something that is both crispy and savory. For example, I might reach for some crispy rice crackers or tender beef jerky.

If I want something healthier, I might opt for fresh fruit with Vietnamese chili salt. Sometimes I also enjoy a sweet treat, like a tender and fluffy sponge cake or a crispy sweet potato fritter.
