Tesco finest doubly delicious jammy cookie cake, smores and cookies and cream

When I saw these cookie cakes, I just had to get it even though it was quite pricey.
It simply looks stunning like something you would find in a posh cafe so in those terms 1.75 would deem affordable.
As well as the jammy cookie, there is also a s'mores and cookies and cream.
I would love to see a red velvet version as well.
It is nice to see the box is well designed with a diagram of the cookie cake.
To my surprise, the cookie cake was really good with a cup of tea.
The chewy brown sugar cookie layer was really decadent complimented by the jam and the jammy cookie itself tasted amazing with the chewy jam centre.
The name cookie cake isn't quite right though because there is no cake in it at all.






s'mores cookie cake:
This was just as good as the jammy with the mini chocolate bar garnishing.
The filling was really decadent and dreamy with marshmallow and rich chocolate butter cream.


cookies and cream:






Eastern European apple doughnut

I have always been intrigued by Eastern European baked delights because there are some similarities with English bakery yet they look rather different.
I ended up getting an apple doughnut.
Sadly, I've lost the photo before it was cut but it looked like a calzone with icing which was the reason I tried it.
You can think of it looking like a patty/foldover with icing.
Inside it was filled with the usual apple and cinnamon filling.
Overall, it was quite pleasing with the apple cinnamon filling and icing so definitely worth trying.



Sainsburys Raspberry infused Earl Grey Tea - Taste the difference Limited Edition

I love tea so when I saw the Raspberry infused Earl Grey Tea, it certaintly got my attention because of the pariring of raspberry and Earl Grey.
It sounded nice but then when there are berries in tea, they often taste sour, however the raspberry in this was flavouring and not real raspberry pieces so I gave it a try.
Interestingly, the aroma was really sweet and smelled like strawberry and blackcurrant fruit pastilles.
As for the taste, it was not sweet as in sugary sweet but it was like a sweet tasting black tea with a bergamot aftertaste.
I definitely like the aroma but I don't think I will be drinking this daily like my regular tea.






Sainsburys peach melba conserve - summer edition taste the difference

My lit up when I spotted this peach melba conserve at Sainsburys.
The idea of peach melba as a jam sounded fantastic.
It is vegan and labelled as peach and raspberry extra jam with vanilla.
You can actually smell peach and there are chunks of peach in this jam.
As for the taste, it was really sweet but sadly I couldn't really taste the peaches as it was just sweetness all the way through.



Ginsters meatball marinara bake

I love Ginsters anything because I love bakes and pasties.
This time it was the new Meatball marinara.
If you like the taste of meatballs and herbs, this is for you.
There are mini meatballs inside.

Harvey Nichols mini mince pies

Christmas is all about mince pies and Christmas puddings!
What I like about Harvey Nichols mini mince pies is the size.
The dinky little mince pies have a lovely buttery pastry filled with traditional mince.
Great for any party.






Mini Doughnut from Mleczko

I love doughnuts so I was tempted by these cute mini ice doughnuts at Mleczko.
The icing had a lemony taste and they were surprisingly filled although the jam tasted a bit weird.
Overall, I didn't quite like it because the taste and texture wasn't to my liking.
However it wasn't bad for the price 67p.







Mantinga mini curd berliner balls filled with cherry from Lithuania

On a recent visit to Upminster, spotted these berliner balls at an European grocery store.
As they were filled with cherry I had to try them.
Unfortunately, the texture of these balls were weird and nothing like doughnuts or even cakey.
The cherry flavoured filling was artificial.







Harrisons Sauces

As well as food, I love trying different sauce.
This time came accross Harrisons sauces because my local pizza shop had them.
On the Harrisons instagram account, there are more flavours which I would love to get hold of.
The ones I had access to were: Chilli, Sour cream and chives, BBQ, Garlic & Herb, Garlic & mayo.
The sour cream and chives was interesting, it was really nice as it tasted strangely like McDonalds filet o fish sauce but not the conventional sour cream and chives
The chilli was also nice in a different way, it was like a really tart bbq sauce without the sweetness and some spicy aftertaste.






M&S Orange Candy Melon

I love M&S because they will always have some special fruit varieties every now and then.
This time it was the Orange candy melon.
When I bought it, it didn't feel ripe as the overall melon was quite hard but I decided to tuck into it.
The melon was really hard when I put my knife into it so the mouthfeel texture was crisp with a crunch but not too juicy,
Although the texture didn't seem ripe, the taste was really sweet and sugary similar to Hami Melon which is also orange inside.
Looking forward to other specialties fruits.

punchy drinks

I got these drinks a while ago from bcorp and were saving it because I knew they would be good.
The combination and flavours sounded amazing.
There was Peach ginger & Chai, blood orange, bitters & cardamon, cucumber yuzu & rosemary.
The orange was surprisingly good as well as the cucumber.
Definitely would buy them again.
