Aaah, the humble potato chip. Crispy, salty and oh-so-satisfying, this is the ultimate snack food and the natural choice when it comes to movie treats. We’ve come a long way from the simple salted chip and graduated into the world of exciting chip flavours. I’m talking the cult classic salted egg chips or the ever-popular mala chips to even cucumber chips.
You’ve worked hard with all those home-workout during the Circuit Breaker, so it’s time to reward yourself. I’d say skip the kale salad and have yourself a bag of chips—you’ve earned it! Here are 7 delicious potato chips from Shopee to reward yourself with!
1. IRVINS
It never gets old, does it? Salted egg is here to stay, and I’m not afraid to say I’m all for it. IRVINS is the one who started it all, and if you haven’t queued for one of their large yellow bags, then do you really love salted egg chips?
A titan in the salted egg chips scene, you can never go wrong with IRVIN’S.
On Shopee, the deal gets even better with IRVINS offering several jumbo bundle deals to curb all sorts of cravings of salted egg chips. There are deals such as this one where you can get seven bags of their IRVINS Salted Egg Zig Zag for S$112—it’s a salted egg party, alright!
Not only that, but there are also several bundles where you can get their other flavours such as Salted Egg Fish Skin or their latest Fish Head Curry Fish Skin in a tantalising bundle too.
After all, we all need a little variety to spice up our Netflix Mondays.

2. Aroma Truffle & Co
If salted eggs aren’t your thing, then truffle might suit your fancy.
True to their name, Aroma Truffle & Co surely makes one of the most aromatic and strong-smelling truffle chips in Singapore. Their Black Summer Truffle Potato Chips are buttery slivers that are infused with Italian Black Summer Truffles; it’s luxury right at your fingertips.
Have your pick of Aroma Truffle & Co. on Shopee here.
A combo of two bags of Aroma chips is going for S$18.95, and if that brings Italy a little closer during this time, you bet I’m taking it. Plus, who doesn’t like feeling a little fancy with these thick, truffle-laden crinkle cut chips?

3. Burt’s Potato Chips
For those who want to stick to the classics, Burt’s Potato Chips are the one for you.
Deliciously thick-cut and hand-cooked in Devon, England, these crunchy British chips will transport you to the windy seaside towns of England—complete with seagulls and vinegary fish & chips at every corner.
Besides the usual Sea Salt (S$10 for ten packs) and Cheddar (S$10 for ten packs) chip flavours, I’m most riveted by the Firecracker Lobster (S$10 for ten packs).

4. Crusty’s
Always a good time to #supportlocal, Crusty’s selection of chips run the gamut from the archetypal Salted Egg Potato Chips (S$7.50) to the ever-popular Mala Salted Potato Chips (S$7.50).
Like any fine purveyor of chips, Crusty’s has an array of salted egg fish skin flavours and gourmet popcorn flavours at your disposal.
One flavour that I’m most fascinated by has to be the Tomato Salted Egg Potato Chips (S$7.50). Fried eggs with tomatoes have to be one of my favourite dishes growing up.
I wonder how Crusty’s managed to marry the tangy, piquant tomatoes with the indulgent salted egg flavours. I can’t wait to get my hands on these and many more of Crusty’s wares.

5. The Golden Duck Co
The Golden Duck Co is serious about their chips. Their lean but mean assortment is undoubtedly a testament to that.
As one of the pioneers of salted egg yolk gourmet snacks, you can be sure the folks at The Golden Duck Co know their stuff.
Their Salted Egg Yolk Potato Ridges (S$7.50) are hefty and beautifully-ridged, so they hold more of that salted egg goodness in each chip. If you are an ardent salted egg fan, there is nothing better than more salted egg bits per bite.
If potato chips bore you a little (how could they ever?), there is no harm in trying The Golden Co’s Singapore Chilli Crab Seaweed Tempura (S$7/110g pack) and Singapore Salted Egg Crab Seaweed Tempura (S$7/110g pack).
The seaweed squares are roasted, coated with their house-made tempura batter, deep-fried and then topped with REAL crab meat. I mean, it doesn’t get better than that. Explore The Golden Co’s entire range!

6. Calbee
Calbee has been a perennial favourite for years, and if you love this Japanese potato chip, you’re in for a treat on Shopee.
Here are limited-edition flavours that will take your obsession to a whole new level. With exciting flavours like Okonomiyaki (S$3.80) and Mentaiko Pizza (S$3.80), these are potato chips like no other.
One that caught my eye has to be the Cucumber (S$3.80) chips. With a flavour like that, I was intrigued.
I have to give it to Japan on coming up with creative and unorthodox flavours to keep us on our toes. If you are lusting for a trip to the Land of the Rising Sun, these Calbee chips should tide you over first.

7. Nissin Cup Noodles Potato Chips
Nissin continues to have our heart, not only for their excellent cup noodles but they have come up with potato chips as well. Marrying potato chips and cup noodles seems like a genius idea, and I wonder why no one has thought of it sooner.
These Nissin Cup Noodles Potato Chip Tom Yam Seafood (S$1.58) would serve the tangy, lip-smacking goodness of a piping bowl of tom yum goong all with a satisfying crunch of a chip.
For some local flair, these Nissin Cup Noodles Potato Chips Laksa (S$3.80) are worth the calories. With those rich, coconutty, spicy flavours all packed into one chip, it’s honestly something out of Willy Wonka factory.
Check out what other iterations Nissin has come up with!
