Sainsburys carrot cake pudding topped with a silky cream sauce

As expected, this carrot cake was delicious.
It's just basically a loaf cake in the chilled dessert section.
I love the way it is topped with a yellowish sauce which aesthetically looks like custard and makes it easy for photos for lazy people who can't make custard.
The carrot cake was soft and moist, loaded with shredded carrots and raisins.
Absolutely amazing.

Sainsburys raspberry white chocolate trifle slice

I have been eyeing this trifle slices for a while but sadly it was disappointing, it was just a vanilla sponge topped with white chocolate and raspberry jam.

Visually, there seemed to be a custard layer but it could not be tasted.

Batchelors Fiery Chilli & Lime Flavour Super Noodles

Finally got my hands on these Batchelors Fiery Chilli & Lime Flavour Super Noodles which were supposed to be stocked at Sainsburys a while ago.

As a Batchelor fan I had to try them.

I love chilli and lime even though I can't handle the heat.

Peeling back the lid, the powder looked red and angry with pieces of dried red peppers.

Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of eat.

Anyway, the texture of the noodles are the usual soft and slimey strands.

The lime tang was definitely appetizing and delivered while the heat will take its toll the next day if you are one of those that don't get along with finely grounded chilli pepper which irritate your intestines and oesophagus.

It's not spicy but irritating.

Overall, very tasty and similar to tom yum without the annoying herbs like lemongrass.

mama CUP Thai green curry

The mama Thai Green curry is available in the instant noodle packet or cup version.

As I have tried the instant noodles, I got the cup version.

The instant noodle is somewhat better because the cup noodle texture isn't as nice.

Urban Legend raspberry jam bakewell doughnuts

Urban Legend raspberry jam bakewell doughnuts.
When I saw these, i was instantly sold as with anything bakewell.
They are raspberry jam filled with bakewell flavoured icing.
It would be nice with cherry jam but raspberry could be nice if there are no seeds.
Anyway, took a bite and I was in heaven because I just loved that almond taste in the icing and the raspberry jam complemented it nicely giving it that jam doughnut vibes.
Well done urban legend.

Mugshot festive pigs in blanket flavoured pasta

Mugshot festive pigs in blanket flavoured pasta.
These are limited edition from last year but couldn't get my hands on them until this year.
As with all instant pasta, they don't go soft properly so I always have to use the microwave for another 40 seconds to give it a helping hand.
Unfortunately, I didn't find it tasty.
The flavour was on the artificial side and quite spicy.

New York Bakery sweet maple bagels

A strong maple aroma when you take them out the bag and you get some stickiness from the maple which go gooey when you toast it.
Overall, what you would expect from a bagel with the chewy texture and a slight maple taste.
Great with some marshmallow fluff/toasted marshmallows.

ASDA Exceptional Range: Cherry almond kisses and raspberry pistachio doughnut review

As well as ASDA's bright yellow Just Essentials range, they now have an Exceptional range for the finer end and some of the items were captivating so I had to give then a try like the pistachio raspberry doughnuts and the cherry almond kisses.

Asda Exceptional Cherry Almond Kisses.
I love cherry and fresh cream so got this.
Although it is new, it looks and tastes familiar in many ways.
It looked like a whoopie as well as a doriyaki thing.
As for the taste it was comforting with two soft vanilla sponges, cherry flavoured fresh cream and a piece of cherry in the middle.
Its a bit like blackforest minus chocolate and the chocolate sponge replaced by vanilla.

Asda Exceptional pistachio raspberry doughnuts.

A few months ago Asda did these amazing pistachio croissants filled with quality pistachio paste that got me hyped so I was expecting something similar with these doughnuts.

Visually, they look like something from the cafe.

It was nice but it felt like an ordinary fresh cream jam doughnut garnished with pistachios.

The pistachio cream was  mild and could have done with a layer of that pistachio creme from the croissant.

Not bad but a bit expensive when it does not deliver your expectations.

ASDA Exceptional Range:

Heinz [scarily] good Monster Munch Pickled Onion Flavour Mayo

Heinz have been whipping up so many sauces this year that my cupboard is now overloaded with sauces from the bacon ketchup, pickle ketchup, Heinz x Morley sauce to Monster Munch!
The Secret sauce is not out on retail but you can try it at GDK!

Anyway, the Monster Munch Pickled Onion Flavour Mayo was definitely to my liking because it was really punchy and tangy yet creamy so served the purpose.

It is much better than their regular mayo because I find it more on the salad cream side.

Can't wait to use it on sandwiches, chips etc but so far I had it on chicken which was nice.
