Coconut Kokis
Tropicland, $2.95/box
In conversation I described these little Malaysian cookies at "crumb-y" and then had to clarify that the b was silent, not missing.
The term kokis appears to apply to a fairly broad range of cookies, cakes, and breads; these particular ones are mildly sweet compressed nuggets of toasted coconut and bread crumbs. I imagine you could get something similar by dumping the detritus at the bottom of a cereal box into a panini press. That their pleasantly abrasive crunch survived the trip from SKS Food Industries in Jahor, Malaysia to a scratch-and-dent grocery store in downtown Seattle might just justify SKS's extravagant plastic packaging.
These happened to be mildly "coffee flavor" ("perisa kopi"), but the manufacturer also offers original and pandan flavors.
