Lidl Deluxe lobster tails: Garlic butter/Garlic prosecco butter

Lidl Lobster tails are available every Christmas and I wish I tried earlier because they are really good.
You can choose from garlic butter or garlic and prosecco butter.
I found the lobsters moist, springy and tasty without the butter as they are salty on its own so I used the butter on bread.
The only difficulty is the lobster meat sticks to the shell, other than that all good.
The lobster shells are not that hard so you can easily use your hands to remove the shell.

Melis Labneh cheese balls

Spotted these balls of cheese called Labneh looking like mozzarella got them them to try.
Labneh is a soft Middle Eastern cheese made from strained yogurt.
I tried them on their own and they were so delicious, they taste like feta, salty and tangy yet really rich like Philadelphia but so much nicer.
The texture can be a bit too thick and dry on its own but I am glad I tried.
These were long life products but still tasted good.

Viral Dubai Chocolate

Dubai chocolate inspired by the “Can't Get Knafeh of It” bar.
The bar is filled with crispy kataifi, pistachio and tahini paste.
I believe the one I got is similar but without tahini but nevertheless decadent with super fine crispy strands in the middle.
Luxuriously topped with edible gold leaf.

Batchelors super noodles Chicken and chicken & mushroom review

Batchelors chicken and chicken mushroom have always been there but it just occurred to me that I have not reviewed them so got them both to try as I usually get the bacon.
However, I have tried the chicken pot version which is quite different to the pack.
The instant noodle pack is much nicer in taste and does not have that chemical taste and the parsley in it was tasty.
The chicken and mushroom was not so nice as it was on the sweet side and the mushroom taste did not even come though.

Krispy Kreme vegan cinnamon swirl and blueberry bliss doughnut review

Again, more new doughnuts from Krispy Kreme: Blueberry bubble bliss, Salted caramel sensation, strawberry sundae, lemon meringue sensation and cinnamon swirl.
I ended up getting the Krispy Kreme cinnamon swirl and blueberry bliss.

As always KK doughnuts are always a hit or miss depending on the doughnut base and the topping. 
The cinnamon swirl hit the spot for me as it was simple and delicious. It was a nice and pillowly while the cinnamon sugar was tasty.
The blueberry bubble bliss was quite unique as it had blueberry bubbles and lychee frosting.
I didn't really like this as it was too artificial and sweet.

USA Nissin Cup Noodles Campfire S'mores

Another sweet noodle from Nissin and this time it was Campfire S'mores!
I was definitely curious and couldn't wait to try it.
They are said to taste like chocolate which makes it similar to this other chocolate instant noodles.
What I like about this one is obviously the marshmallows so I did some research before digging into mine!
So marshmallows completely disappear after it is microwaved so I took some out just for the garnishing.
Anyway, followed the instructions as in putting it in the microwave but I still got liquid just like the bagel noodles which I reviewed earlier so I will probably put less water in the next one.
Overall, they just taste of chocolate by that I mean the chocolate toast crunch cereals and I feel they would taste much better if they were chilled or iced.

Iceland Crispy shredded duck and prawn toast

Iceland has always had a fantastic takeaway range which I have not tried until now.
They used to have dim sums with the steamer included.
On a recent trip, I realized how cheap it was so I got the duck with pancakes and prawn toasts to try.
The only catch is you might have to spend money travelling to bigger stores to get it if your local doesn't have it.
Overall the duck and pancakes are delicious as it is pure meat and some skin.
You won't get scammed for fat and bones like some places.
The duck only takes 2 mins in the microwave while the prawn toasts take a few minutes longer.
I felt that the quality of prawn toast at home is much healthier because it was cooked in a halogen oven so oil free but it didn't contain much prawn in the filling as it had more a a crunch.





Other options in the takeaway range:
