Sze Hing Loong - Salt & Lemon Candy 150g

This lemon candy hit all the marks I was looking for. As a kid, I would eat fresh lemon liberally sprinkled with salt. This delightful hard candy adds an element of sweetness. On first taste, there is the unmistakeable flavor of salt quickly followed by the tang of lemon and then a delicate sweetness. The combination of all three flavors is a winner. If you like to salt your fruit, you will enjoy this unique candy.

I fell in love with a similar product on my most recent trip to Japan. I was sad when I couldn’t find it at my local Asian market. I found these and they are SO close to what I remember! I am addicted. They are pretty salty, so if you don’t like salt this isn’t for you. But if you are worried about them tasting like lemon salt or twang, they do not! The lemon is like a lemon drop and a the salt is like you sprinkled it on top. So good!

Ok, my expectations for this product were a little all over the place but two things to note that I had not seen in other reviews are 1.) These not only start off salty but are salty throughout from start to finish. 2.) They are indeed individually wrapped. If you are a person who already liked eating lemon with salt or grew up on that as I did you will probably like these. If you are a first timer I would suggest you try some sliced lemon with salt to prepare myourself for what is in store. Overall I am pleased with these and I do like them, my throat as I have been sick with an awful cough will benefit but I can't see just casually for no other reason than taste to snack on these as I would a sweet candy. Hope this helps!!!

They do not allow returns even if damaged so beware, you will be stuck with item. My bag came open and I today’s day and age do t feel comfortable eating candy…..

Love the taste of this.

These take a bit of getting used to, but they mostly do what I wanted, which is to satisfy a salty craving the way most hard candy satisfies a sweet craving. They taste sort of like a margarita with salt on the rim. If you like that, you’ll enjoy these.

I had been looking for pineapple salt candy and this was all I could find. The flavor is really good.

The salt balance is too high. Not enough lemon flavor.
