Basically you make this drink by putting the herbs bag into the cup and adding hot water and letting it infuse for 7 minutes or longer for a stronger taste.

The colour of the drink was quite dark and the smell of Dongwai was strong.

Sweet crystallized ginger series by Chilson

Thanks to Chilson Enterprises Ltd of Hong Kong for sending me these Crystallized ginger candies.
It was gingerly sweet of them :P

Chilson was founded in 1920 by Mr Christopher Kong.

Legend has it that Queen Mary ordered crystallized ginger made by the ginger experts Mr Kongs to be served at royal banquets.

The crystallized ginger and other ginger products are supplied to UK, Germany, Holland, Australia etc.

Currently there are now three flavours of crystallized ginger to suit different tastes in the modern world:
Original, Plum juice and Black sugar.
All of these are made with natural fresh stem ginger and made into Crystallized ginger.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Original crystallized ginger:






The ginger was very spicy but sweet at the same time.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Plum juice crystallized ginger:




The ginger had a nice plum taste with an unami touch.
It tastes similar to those preserved red coloured gingers with sugar coated on it, but this one is healthier because there is no red colouring.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black sugar crystallized ginger:





The appearance of this was nice, it was pieces of crystallized sugar dusted in black sugar.
The taste of this was very pleasing because the black sugar taste was quite strong.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Overall, the quality of this was good and they come in resealable bags.
Each piece of ginger is uniform and just the right size to pop in your mouth.
My personal favourites were the Original and black sugar.

Tao Ti Salty Lychee Juice drink

I was quite excited with the new Tao Ti Salty series.
There is Lime or Lychee and the bottle design is quite nice with different coloured caps for each flavour.

The Salty Lychee was new to me, but when I was at another shop today I noticed another brand that also had Salty lychee flavour too.

Tao Ti Salty Lychee Juice drink:

This drink was really nice but there was no salty taste.

Tao Ti Salty Lime Juice drink:

The savory taste was really faint which was disappointing.

Even though the Lychee was also disappointing with no salty taste, the Lychee drink fared better.

Mini mochi ice ( Green apple flavour )

This is the green apple flavour of Mini mochi ice from Kowloon dairy.

It comes in a pack of four individually wrapped mochis in a box.

The taste was a bit sweet and the apple was artificial.

Kowloon dairy Mochi Ice Chestnut Flavour

This is the new Chestnut flavour from Kowloon dairy, it is chestnut flavoured icecream wrapped inside a thin mochi.

I felt that it was a bit starchy for my liking but then I do not really like artificial tasting chestnut products.

Bourbon Chocolate Chips

I have always wanted to try the chocolate covered crisps at Royce, luckily other brands make them too.
Thanks to Connie for getting me these delicious Bourbon chocolate chips.

They are basically crinkle cut chips covered in chocolate.

The taste is interesting and nice because the saltiness of the crisps and chocolate actually tastes nice together.
