Give and Go two-bite brownies

The packaging looked cute so bought a packet to try.

On the packet, it claims to be moist and fudgy, when I tried it it was moist and fudgy as claimed.

The sweetness was just right and not too sweet.

Inside the pack there are five brownies measuring about 4cm in diameter.

Nice spice grinders at a restaurant by Drogheria & Alimentari.

Other spices I want to try are Porchini mushroom, seafood supreme and cinammon and sugar.

Tea Forté English Breakfast Tea

Found out about this exiquisite tea by Tea Forte.

Its design and packaging is different and elegant.

It was such a shame the restaurant served it the wrong way!

I was given a beer sized glass with hot water (which was not boiling) with more than the usual amount of water you would use for tea.

The major problem was that the cup should have been shallower to let the pyrimid infuser contents infuse.

But anyway, no one serves tea in a glass!!!!!

Apart from English breakfast tea, they also have other blends and other nice packaging.

Other blends in this range:

Earl Grey, Orchid Vanilla, Flora, Lemon Ginger, English Breakfast, Silk Oolong, Chamomile Tisane, African Solstice, Black Currant, Formosa Oolong, Citrus Mint, Jasmine Green, Bombay Chai, White Ambrosia, Coco Truffle, Sencha, Estate Darjeeling, White Ginger Pear, Raspberry Nectar, Green Tango.

Organic Valley Milk

The packaging looked cute so thats why I brought it.

It basically tastes like the usual milk which was pleasant, but after adding some honey it tasted better.

Its website was interesting too:

http://www.organicvalley.coop/

Its .coop and not the usual .com!

Other products that they do:

Princess cake box packaging

Got some cakes from Princess and I really liked the cake box, it was like a cute paper handbag with a lilac purple handle.

Treasure chest of gold chocolate coins

The box was really nice so thats why I got it, the metal had nice fine details.

However the chocolate was really fake and did not taste nice.

It does not melt in your mouth and had a lardy texture.

Maxim's crispy egg rolls

I am not a fan of Chinese bakery, but the packaging got my attention.
They looked slightly bigger than egg boxes so went closer to look at them, it turns out they had crispy egg rolls inside.
The packaging was designed by G.O.D

Kream ball at KFC in France

Awesome ice-cream served at KFC in France! I love the cup design....

NODATE powdered green tea

Posted this because I liked the green tea shaker with googly eyes stuck on it!



Dip or squeeze ketchup?

Nice packaging.

Croc' légumes beetroot and shallots wafer cracker

I thought these were really cool when I saw them on the shelf!
Beetroot and shallot wafer crackers and the other flavour was carrot and cumin, so I bought them both!
These wafers are a product from France and contain 50% vegetables according to the packaging.
I opened the box and tried one, the taste was intense, at first it felt like I was eating dried tomato, and then I couldnt stop eating them.
You can see from the pictures, I managed to eat nearly 30% of the contents.
I loved the brown cardboard box too which is cojoined together.

Vietnamese Bahn Phu The

Got these as a soeuvenir from some friends that came back from Vietnam recently.
I liked the leaf wrapping which was made from one long leaf folded into a square.
The taste was nice and coconutty with some yellow bean in the middle.
This particular one is called , "husband and wife cake"; a sweet cake made of rice or tapioca flour and gelatin, filled with mung bean paste; also spelled bánh xu xê).

Really cool mooncake packaging from DHL 2010

Was sent some mooncakes from DHL, the packaging was so cute.

Each tray contained a mooncake, the box was the best!

It takes an accquired taste to like it, especially when they mix weird sweet stuff with a salty egg yolk inside.

Crabtree and Evelyn Orange and butter cookies

Crabtree and Evelyn are a brand that sells famous luxuries for the body, so it was interesting when they introduced a fine food section, so I tried their cookies.

Nice elegant packaging that contains orange butter cookies inside the rolled cardboard tin.
Each cookie is thin in thickness, however its texture is like a cross between a shortbread and a cookie, less of a crunch.
The cookie contains alot of orange peel in it, and has a jaffa taste rather than citrus flavouring which complements the buttery flavour.
On the aftertaste, there was a slight mintyness to it.
Other cookie flavours include all butter hazelnut,  chocolate, lemon, breakfast, oat and cranberry, strawberry and cream, white chocolate and raspberry, shortbread.

Fruit crate of sweets

Only got these sweets because of the cute packaging that looks like a box of fruit,
there is a miniaturised receipt printed on the lid of the box.

Pearl Royal's coconut water

As well as Rubicon. another brand of coconut water.
However the packaging of this one is much nicer.

Plastic case that looks like a young coconut with the printed plastic that imitates the young coconut,
the case holds a carton of the juice inside.

To drink you can simply take out the carton, or place the straw in the hole as if you were drinking a young coconut.

Chocolate Bar - Nice Cake packaging

Cute chocolate cake, however I would have preferred if the cakes were cut in squares rather than rectangles making it easier to eat and fun to share
