New finds : Peyoung chocolate yakisoba

Discovered this Peyoung chocolate yakisoba which was launched for Valentines day 2017.
I didn't buy this but if I did, I would have probably treated it as a dessert.

Shinichi has tried it and it seems like I haven't missed out!

Cup Noodle’s 45th anniversary Luxury Shark Fin cup noodle and Softshell Turtle cup noodle

Tried Nissin's Luxury Shark Fin cup noodle and Softshell Turtle cup noodle which are launched for Cup Noodle’s 45th anniversary.

It is interesting that these flavours are so Chinese and a delicacy claiming to contain at least 1000mg of collagen in the cupnoodles.

+++++++++++++++
Softshell Turtle cupnoodle:

The soft shell turtle was quite nice because the soup tasted like Chinese herb soup and it was thick with wolfberries and tasty shitaake mushrooms.
However, I felt that is tasted better without the sachet of oil.
+++++++++++++++
Shark Fin cupnoodle:

The Shark Fin was quite nice because the soup tasted like Chinese herb soup and it was thick with pieces of black fungus, bokchoy and wolfberries.

Nissin extra hot mapo tofu 日清のとんがらし麺ビッグ 激辛麻婆豆腐味

All I can say is that these noodles were too spicy for me.

It looked deadly spicy when I peeled the lid off and saw how red it was.

tictac Strawberry fields

Strawberry fields Tic Tac contains two flavours: Strawberry and Strawberry mint!

Strawberry mint is the dark pink one which has a minty taste after you get through the sugary coating and the light pink one is the strawberry flavoured one which is initially sweet with a tangy strawberry centre.

Nissin Cup noodle white

Nissin's new white flavoured cup was produced for the Sochi 2014 winter olympics.
As I can't read Japanese I don't know what flavour this was, but when I peeled the lid, there was a milky smell and you could see pieces of dehydrated potatoes, bacon, egg and other vegetables.
After adding water, it smelt really similar to carbonara.
The taste was really creamy at first but my tongue got accustomed to it and then I could taste hints of bacon and a savoury milk taste.
Compared to other flavours, this one does not taste salty but the noodles and soup have a viscous feel to it when you slurp the noodles.

McDonalds - Hong Kong - Red Peri Scorcher

Found out about this new burger called the RED PERI SCORCHER from the paper.

Only noticed it because of the colourful stars which is quite similar to my openrice logo.





The red peri scorcher burger is NEW in HONG KONG but has already been launched in Singapore and Australia last year.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

RED PERI SCORCHER:

Made with Carolina Reaper chilis, habanero chilis, Naga Jolokia chilis and Peri Peri chilis.

The world's hottest chilis guarenteed to be a scorching sensation.





I really liked it because it was crispy marinated chicken thigh meat with cracker wheat and the sauce was spicy with a strong hint of lemon.

It had a really nice cajun smell just like the coating you find in Southern fried chicken.

The chili was fiery but it does not linger which is why I like African chilis.

Acecook 25th Anniversary Black Squid ink instant noodles

Initially I did not notice the special edition cup noodles by Acecook because it was Black and did not stand out on the shelf.
Anyway, the black wrapping was quite classy and it was SQUID flavoured too!
It was the first time I came across squid flavoured cup noodles.

 
 
Inside the box, there was a sachet of liquid sauce and a sachet of condiments containing dried squid and cabbage.

After the pouring away the water in the custom made drainage holes on the corner, the noodles were ready to be mixed with sauce.

Mixing sauce into it

The taste was a bit disappointing because the squid taste was not obvious and the colour was not as black as I hope for squid ink.

vitasoy Cookie'n Cream flavoured soybean milk

I dislike vitasoy drinks but was surprised to see the Cookie'n Cream flavour.
It was better than anticipated because it tasted like hazelnut flavoured milk.
