Sweet treats at Coughlans

It has been a while since my last visit so popped into a different branch of Coughlans which is bigger and has more variety such as chilled gateaus.

I ended up getting the glazed ring doughnut because it looked good.

It was similar to a cronut and not too sweet so I was really glad I got it.

Also tried the butterscotch yumyum which was quite sweet but the layers were amazing.

Apple danish

Trying a Greggs sausage roll with Chinese Curry Sauce and Sweet & Sour Sauce

Greggs sausage rolls are always amazing.

Out of curiousity I decided to pair it with Chinese Curry Sauce and Sweet & Sour Sauce.

Surprisingly, both sauces went well with it especially the sweet and sour sauce.

Bonne maman Violet Fig yoghurt

Bonne mamam have so many products like jam, mousse, sweet baked goods etc.

Their mousses were not impressive because of the sweeteners so I didn't have any expectations for the yoghurt.

However it was bloody delicious, the violet fig yoghurt was so decadent in a good way.

The sweetness was like honey with bits of fig in it.

DUG dairy free potato milk and smoothie

There are so many plant / vegan option for milk these days and it all revolves around soy, rice, oat etc with the recent editons of peas.

Now there is potato milk which I have been trying to get my hands on ever since it was launched.

DUG dairy free potato comes from Sweden.

Looking at the ingredients, it contains 9% potato.

There was no potato taste which I was hoping for and it just tasted like lightly sweetened soy milk so I wonder how much peas are in it because there is no percentage for that.

A year later, I tried it at IFE2023 which is made using a new formula and I felt that it tasted just like milk.

Normally, I prefer unsweetened but their sweetened version was quite pleasant and the sweeteners used were natrual.

Overall, not bad and pleasant to drink on its own.

Coming soon is the DUG smoothie which I really want to try because it contains potatoes too!

M&S apple pie bites

Who doesn't like apple pie and these apple bites are like a mini apple pies from McDonalds.

They happen to be vegan as well.

After putting them in the oven, the pastry is crisp and light and it is filled with delicious sweet chunks of apple infused with cinnammon.

As well as the filling, you also get a sachet of cinammon sugar to sprinkle on these tasty sweet treats however I felt that it wasn't really needed because the filling was already sweet.

Overall, I would buy these again.

Morrisons - cheese and bacon Loaded Potato Skins - The Pizza Deal

I love loaded potato skins and the size of these are great because they are bite sized.

The cheesy filling was good and the bacon was not too overwhelming.

However the only thing that let it down was the potato skin which had a weird taste.

Little moons giveaway

Little moons were giving away free ice cream mochi at Whitworth gardens near Goodge Street.

They had an interactive billboard where you can win a box of mochi by playing thumb wars.

Sleep Well oat drink

I don't have any sleeping issues but was just curious how this oat drink tasted containing Valerian.

As a drink it was soothing and pleasant and if you can buy it in the shops I am sure it wouldn't contain a significant amount like a proper adminstered dosage.
Drank this during the afternoon so lets see if I feel sleepy lol.

Lidl Italiamo Sfogliatine Glassate puff pastries with an apricot glaze

These delicious puffs are amazing.

They are light and crispy topped with a sugary thin apricot coating.

I have had these before but I can't quite remember where and where I bought them.

M&S Green Herby Feta Dip - Master Deli The Collection

There are so many dips about these days but I was captivated by the Green herby feta dip which is labelled as having aged barrel feta and yoghurt with basil.

It definitely did not disappoint with that creamy sharp feta and basil which went well with freshly made Kurdish naan from Shadi Bakery.

Brothers Cherry Bakewell cider

I don't really drink alcohol but I do love trying alcoholic beverages.

Brothers cider is an alcoholic drink that I am partial to because I love its sweet bold flavours.

Drinks I have tried in the past include toffee apple which is so decadent.

This time I fell for the cherry bakewell which comes out a nice vibrant red colour.

It had a lovely cherry smell similar to that of glacier cherry.

There was a prominent cherry taste but it was a little bit artificial and I couldn't taste any almond in it.

Overall not bad as I felt it was a unique and different as well as the other ciders in the range like rhubarb custard and parma violets.
