Maliban Chick Bits are a savoury biscuit from one of Sri Lanka's oldest and largest biscuit makers, packed in a 280g cylindrical metal tin. Each tin holds eleven servings, with roughly fifty small biscuits per serving, making it a shareable snack that keeps well in the tin between occasions.
The flavour is chicken-style savoury — achieved through a nature-identical chicken flavouring rather than any meat ingredient — with a salty, lightly seasoned character that has made Chick Bits a long-standing pantry staple across Sri Lanka. They sit comfortably alongside Maliban's broader savoury range, which includes Cheese Bits and Kritz, and they are produced at the company's facility on Galle Road, Ratmalana, where Maliban has been baking since 1954.
Maliban holds a substantial stack of quality and food safety credentials: the SLS 251 certification mark from the Sri Lanka Standards Institution, ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and ISO 22000 for food safety management, among others. The company exports to more than thirty-five countries across five continents, so the tin arriving at your door is produced to standards that meet international retail requirements.
The 280g tin is available on its own or as a pack of two — a practical choice for households that go through them quickly or for anyone sending a taste of Sri Lanka overseas as a gift. Once opened, the metal canister is reasonably airtight, though the biscuits are best kept in a sealed container if the tin will not be finished in one sitting.
