Snack cheese

Parmareggio Snack
Five 20-gram pieces for HK$61, City'super

Parmigiano reggiano, also known as parmesan, is best known as a pasta or soup topper. But the aged hard cheese, especially in this waist-line friendly, 78-calorie portion, is just as delicious on its own.

Verdict: Good, strong, savoury flavour with a pleasant, slightly gritty texture.

Mini Babybel Swiss
Five 20-gram pieces for HK$40, City'super

A lunchbox favourite not just for its taste, but also its unique packaging - a piece of cheese encased in coloured wax - that makes for quick devouring of this satisfying snack.

Verdict: Pleasing, salty aftertaste that will appease that mid-afternoon attack of the munchies.
