[Review] Hot Mayo and Jolly Roger Coconut sauce by Cheeky Boy Sauces

As a food lover, I found out about Cheeky Boy Sauces from Instagram which captivated me to try their tantalizing saucy sauces.

Cheeky Boy Sauces are independent producers of a range of fresh tasting, delicious, all natural sauces and dips created by an adventurer and a food lover, and are beautifully made in Britain.
[quoted from their website.]

In 2017, I tried three stylish sauces: HRH sauce, L!MEY and Berlin49.
Full review on those sauces:

Since then, their range of sauces have grown and they are continuously working on new sauces.
The bottle has changed to a better one and with so many sauces in the range, there is a sauce for everything.

This time I got my hands on the Hot Mayo and Jolly Roger Creamy Coconut as well as the upcoming sauce which is in development.

============

Jolly Roger Coconut:
I was just expecting a creamy coconut taste and boy I was wrong.
The first time I had it, I had generous dollop with roast chicken.
On first taste there is something sweet and spicy about this sauce with a strong coconut kick however the sweetness and heat is definitely not simply sugar and chili.
I think its coming from aniseed, cardamon and the heat could possibly be turmeric and aromatic ginger or onion seeds??
According to the ingredients, 14% is spices.

Anyway, I loved the sauce so much I put an extra dollop because it makes chicken taste like peanut free satay sauce to the next level.

The thick Jolly Roger coconut paste goes so well with rice especially mixed grain rice.
I liked it strong so I mixed the paste straight with cooked rice but I also tried adding it before it was cooked a different time which results in aromatic coconut rice which is perfect to accompany some Hainan Chicken or any Thai dish.

On the topic of Thai dishes, having it with roast potatoes tastes like Thai style yellow curry crispy potatoes because of the ginger and coconut and it was delicious.

=============

Hot Mayo:
Before I used the hot mayo, my first impressions of the sauce on its own was like light and sweet tomato sauce with a curry kick to it.
Hence the hot mayo paired nicely with chips, hot dog and Irish Potato farls.

Another day I made some Breakfast Burrito and the hot mayo sauce went nicely with it.

The hot mayo also worked well as a roast chicken marinade and comes out beautifully looking like chicken tikka.

Overall, I liked both sauces as it really enhances the taste of everything so it is useful for dishes that need perking up or that sophistication at home to get that restaurant quality meal.

=============

As well as their current sauces, Cheeky Boy Sauces are also on to a new sauce which I was really honoured get hold of.
It happened to be one of my favourite sauces which was why I was able recognise it immediately when I saw the picture they posted.

I fell in love with chimmichurri the first time I had it when I tried it at the restaurant, since then I order it at the restaurant if they serve it.

Chimmichurri is available in red or green. The green version is chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano and red wine vinegar.
There are so many application for this sauce like salmon and burgers which I did.
The Chimmichurri by Cheeky Boy Sauces has a lovely Mediterranean savoury and chili kick to it just as I imagined.
You can think of it as the modern bbq mint sauce for barbecued meats.

My favourite was definitely the grilled cheese because I love the pairing of cheese and chimmichurri.
You will also find Grilled chimmichurri avocado cheese toasts online so chimmichurri pizza would  probably taste good.

[Review] Nando's Peri-Peri Sauce Coconut & Lemon

Spotted the Nando's Peri-Peri Coconut & Lemon Sauce at Poundland so how could I not get it as it retails for more than 2 pounds at ASDA!
According to the labelling: Opposites attract, so we've added a dash of creamy coconut milk to our Peri-Peri sauce to create a unique Mozambican flavour - with a zesty twist of lemon, a hint of garlic, and of course, our Peri-Peri chillies.

Before using it, I tried it on its own and it was very punchy with a refreshing tart taste hence it is good on chicken and fish etc.

Tried it on chicken and it tasted good as expected and I also used it on fish which made it taste moreish so I definitely recommend this because the sauce is so good that you end up using a lot!

Ingredients
Water, Vinegar, Coconut Milk (Coconut Extract, Water, Thickeners (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan)) (19%), Sugar, Onion Puree, Salt, Lemon (Juice and Puree) (5%), Spices (African Bird's Eye Chilli, Red Bell Pepper, Green Chilli), Sunflower Seed Oil, Garlic Puree, Thickener (Xanthan Gum), Anti-Oxidant (Ascorbic Acid), Rosemary Extract

[Review] CoOp Peppercorn Sauce 180g

I went to Coop because I wanted to get some McVities Cherry Bakewell slices but unfortunately they didn't have it.
As the Co Op Peppercorn Sauce was reduced I decided to try it.
According to the labelling it is a sauce made with double cream, peppercorns, Madeira wine and beef stock.
Decided to cook some spaghetti in the peppercorn sauce and pair it with chicken.
Overall, I was a bit disappointed with the sauce as the peppercorn wasn't strong and I found the sauce a bit sweet.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Creamy cheese, leek and bacon sauce

Tried the Marks and Spencers Creamy cheese, leek and bacon sauce which is quite similar to Carbonara but much nicer.
Added sliced mushroom and noodles to the sauce and it tasted really nice.
While it was cooking, the cheese smell was a bit overwhelming but when it cools down it was really delicious.

La Moutarderie Edmond

Discovered Edmond Fallot's mustard when I was having buffet
I loved the range especially the Basil Mustard as well as the Tarragon Mustard.
Tarragon mustard is definitely the best.

According to their website, there are even more like Walnut mustard, Red wine mustard, Green pepper mustard, curry mustard etc.
