We’re excited to share that Gong Grocer has been featured in the August 2025 issue of Convenience World – the leading voice of Australia’s grocery and convenience sector!
In the article, “Aussies Hungry for Asian Options,” the magazine highlights the rising demand for Asian snacks and flavours across Australia, from bold and adventurous tastes to nostalgic classics.
Our Brand Manager, Vivian Nguyen, shared insights into this exciting trend:
“We’ve seen this shift first-hand at Gong Grocer. Consumers are becoming more adventurous in Asian snacks, trying exotic flavours from across East and South East Asia. Excitingly, we’re also seeing requests for classic Asian snacks that are more niche, driven by consumers who have travelled to these countries and appreciated them so much they want to add them into their regular snacking routine.”
At Gong Grocer, we’re passionate about making authentic Asian snacks accessible in Australia – whether that’s matcha KitKats, seaweed crisps, mala-flavoured treats, or specialty items that are usually only found overseas.
The feature also pointed out how convenience stores are catching onto the trend, expanding their snack ranges to meet growing demand. But what makes Gong Grocer unique is our dedication to authenticity and community — offering a space where flavours from across Asia are celebrated every day.
We’re so grateful to Convenience World for shining a light on our story and recognising the role Asian snacks are playing in reshaping Australia’s snacking culture.
Come visit us at Gong Grocer to discover your next favourite snack — from nostalgic comfort foods to exciting new finds!
