M&S Marks and Spencers all butter reduced fat croissants review

Croissants are delicious but they can be a bit heavy sometimes hence the all butter reduced fat croissants are ideal.

They feel lighter yet taste the same and they don't leave your fingers oily.

[Review] Sainsbury's Chocolate & Hazelnut Croissants

I am not keen on chocolate croissants because the chocolate can sometimes be too thick and overwhelming but as the chocolate hazelnut croissants were reduced I gave them a try.

To my surprise, they were fantastic especially the chocolate filling which was not too sweet and strong so I will definitely be buying this again as the croissant texture was nice and buttery.

[Review] Sainsbury's Almond Croissant

I looked twice to double check if this was an almond croissant because croissants are normally shaped like a crescent.

Usually I won't buy almond products but previously tried the iced raisin swirls from Sainsbury which had a lovely flavour so I didn't hesitate to get this.

As expected I really liked it because there was almond paste in the middle as well as crushed almonds on top.

To be honest, it looked more like a folded almond danish more than a croissant.

Korean Hanil Jajeng Myeon HKD$17.9:

These were quick and convenient to eat, simply empty the noodles in the box and pour the sauce on top and heat in the microwave as advised.

The noodles were soft and chewy in delicious sweet sauce.

Korean Ottogi Japchae – HOT

Springy glass noodles in sweet and spicy sauce with pieces of beef in it.

Korean Vilac Cup Rice and Noodle – Spicy Seafood $12.9

This is the most interesting cup I have tried, because there was Rice and noodles!!!

It would be great if there was a non spicy version to cater for people who can't eat spicy foods!

Japanese Koubo croissant buns $12.5

There is a choice of chocolate or strawberry and they were best eaten slightly warmed by heating in a microwave because the paste inside becomes soft.

Personally I liked the chocolate.

Japanese Shoeido Swiss rolls $13.9

These rolls were surprisingly big and filling!

There is caramel and chocolate and both were soft and moist.

It is hard to say which flavour is better because both were good.

Japanese Okinawan RIBON donuts $10.9

There are two flavours: original and black sugar.
Black sugar had more depth in flavour so I preferred the black sugar.
