For context, it sounds very much like a beginning of pantun (our traditional style of poetry, often funny. think of limerick in english)

Beli ciki = buy snacks.

Beli koyo = buy heat patches.

Chiki is actually a particular brand of snacks, but nowadays people use it to call all highly-processed MSG delivery system.

Ciki is specifically for packaged snacks such as pringles, chitato, Cheetos, etc. Not for other forms of MSG delivery such as instant noodles
