Croc' légumes carrot and cumin wafer crackers

After trying the beetroot and shallot flavour, this time I tried the carrot and cumin.
The beetroot one tastes much nicer.
The carrot one tastes too salty.
However you can really smell and taste the carotene and the cumin.
There is a slight smoked smell as well.
It literally tastes like eating carotene and cumin together!

Fish and "Crabs" anyone!!??

Not fish and chips but fish and tiny crabs.

Saw them in the fried section in the supermarket, so I bought a mixture of fried white bait and fried mini crabs.
They were so delicious and very fishy, I think my cat would have loved it!
The tiny crabs were the best, they taste the same as the soft shelled one, but stronger in flavour.

Claiming to be Japanese sausages when it originates from China

Saw these Japanese sausages and there were three interesting flavours:
Fish sausage with Salmon
Fish sausage with cod fish roe
Fish sausage with sea urchin
[note that the labelling is grammatically wrong, the above was my interpretation, see the pictures for the real name, infact quite alot of the English on the label did'nt make sense such as keep away from sunbeam and out of frame!]
I tried to go to their website but it just got redirected to some site in China and the labelling mistakes seems more Chinglish than Japanese-English.
The one that tasted the best was filled with sea urchin, but of course don't expect real sea urchin.

The one shown on the picture was the cod fish roe because I thought the cod roe looked interesting!

7-11 marinated meats exclusive

Got two products from "Tang Shun Hing" packaged exclusively for 7-11.

Although they are designed to be heated up and eaten at 7-11, it proves to be messy and a sticky task.The contents of the food are packed in a vacuumed sealed bag, with a plastic tray and a pair of gloves, you need to open the inner bag, empty the contents into the dish and simply microwave it.

Hence very troublesome to carry out at your local 7-11, also the tray is not really deep enough.

I got the Lo Shui purely because it was pre-packaged, it horrifies me to get them from restaurants from metal trays by the windows with oil dripping off, flies buzzing around them and the exposure to sunlight through the windows.

The Lo Shui mix contains duck wings, ducks feet, ducks liver, ducks gizzard, and peanuts, and the spring roasted chicken was just half of a spring chicken. I thought it would be a whole chicken, but it was just half a bird.

After microwaving it, it was ready to eat.

The Lo Shui mix was quite nice, although for the ducks feet and wings, it only contained one piece each.All of the items were quite soft, except for the duck’s liver, which I was quite looking forward to, it probably got dehydrated during the heating process.

The gizzards, which I do not usually eat, were the best that I have had, the texture was a bit like baby pork shanks.They were evenly sliced, not looking like shrivelled up gonads from Chinese medicine places.The only thing that let it down was the saltiness of all the lo shui items.

As for the spring chicken, it just tasted ok.

Broccoli chips

Found another interesting snack, vacuum fried broccoli, which just looks like a dehydrated piece of broccoli.

I suppose it is more interesting than eating crisps and just a tad healthier eating a real piece of veg than reconstituted fried potato.

Next time, I would like to experiment putting dried cheese powder on it resulting in cheese broccoli in snack form.

This thai product also does other snacks too such as banana chips, pineapple chips, taro chips, okra chips.
The packaging was done very nicely, very western appeal with all the nutritional values, and at least with perfect English too.

Marmite rice cakes

I love marmite, so there was no hesitation getting these rice crackers.

As well as rice crackers, they also do marmite cereal bars, Marmite breadsticks, Marmite Cheddar bites.

The rice crackers were really nice and the taste of marmite was stronger than I expected.

Ryvita's mini sweet chili

Ryvita used to be a boring snack for diet, it was dry and tasteless.

However it does taste nice with cream cheese.

The original Ryvitas were large pieces of crisp bread, about 7cm x 12cm as I remember.

Now they have minis which are about 3cm x 4cm and they are flavoured too, just like crisps.

Sweet Chili, Salt and Vinegar, Cheese and onion.

They were healthily delicious and not oily.

Each piece was crisp embedded with lots of rye.

I am now tempted to try their Ryvita Thins and other flavours for the minis.

For more information see their site: Ryvita

Kabaya Pakyni Cheddar Cheese sticks

Got these cheddar cheese biscuit sticks which are Japanese.

They are about 5cm in width made from three biscuit sticks stuck together.

The cheese flavouring was very strong.

It was slightly oily.

Cajun squirrel crisps!!

Chilli and chocolate, crispy duck with hoisin sauce and Cajun squirrel are among a tastebud-testing new range of crisp flavours launched in Britain on Friday.
The flavours, chosen by the public and developed with the help of top chief Heston Blumethal, also include fish and chips, builder's breakfast and onion bhaji.

They will be sold until May, after which there will be a vote to decide which flavour stays on sale permanently. The creator of the winner will get 50,000 pounds (77,000 dollars, 56,000 euros) plus one percent of future sales.

Of the six finalists, only one was proposed by a man: Cajun squirrel is the brainchild of Martyn Wright, 26, who said he was inspired to enter when he saw squirrel on a restaurant menu.

"This gentle Cajun flavouring will be delicious for the public and although the idea might sound bizarre, it really works," he said, while underlining that no squirrels were harmed in making the crisps.

The six flavours are: Builder's breakfast
Cajun Squirrel
Chilli and Chocolate
Onion Bhaji
Crispy Hoisin duck
Fish and Chips
