[Review] Bradley's Jellied Eel Pots 200g

"Jellied eels are a traditional English dish that originated in the 18th century, primarily in the East End of London. 

The dish consists of chopped eels boiled in a spiced stock that is allowed to cool and set, forming a jelly. It is eaten cold." Quoted from wikipedia.

They were popular in at the end of the second world war as a cheap staple for poor people, sadly there are few pie mash houses due to gentrification and the way peoples tastes have changed.

I don't know why I love jellied eels but I do especially the jelly.

The savoury jelly is just delicious with chilli vinegar.

My favourite pie mash places are in Croydon and Hoxton but a while ago due to lockdown I had to get the jellied eel pots to satisfy my cravings.

The pots tasted just as well especially my favourite jelly.

[Review] Tasty Chicken & Potato Pie - Annabel Karmel

As well as adult meals, I review children and baby meals as well.
The Tasty Chicken & Potato Pie by Annabel Karmel looked appealing so tried it.
However I was a bit disappointed because it was bland compared to other brands and the carrot still had a crunchy texture even though they were finely diced.

[Review] Charlie Bigham's Steak & Ale Pie

While I was at Waitrose, I discovered Charlie Bigham's Steak & Ale Pie because of the stylish box it was in.
It had a flip lid with an intro about their pies and the illustration was nice like a story book.
Anyway, decided to give them a go and got two because as a foodie, I didn't fancy sharing it.

The pastry was light and flakey when it was baked.

You could literally hear the pastry crack when I put my fork in it and the gravy simply flowed out and I didn't expect that which was a big surprise!

Listen to the video with sound on!!

As well as the top notch pastry, the filling was amazing especially the pieces of steak which are lean and tender.
The amount gravy inside was another wow factor!

Will definitely try their other pies soon.

O'Kane Garlic Chicken Kievs

I definitely didn't like these chicken kievs.
The reconstituted chicken had other bits like gristle and hard cartilage.
2 down and another 2 to finish off :(

Strangely, the second time they fared better but still not recommended as the garlic butter was oddly watery.

The texture of the chicken was really soft and felt like mock chicken so I think they would do well a fake chicken kiev.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Passion Fruit Swiss Roll

I love Swiss rolls especially fresh cream Swiss Rolls.
The usual fillings are strawberry jam or raspberry but Marks and Spencer has two enticing ones which are chocolate and Passion Fruit.
The Marks and Spencers Passion Fruit Swiss Roll is visually pretty with orange lines which makes it really stand out from the dessert cabinet.

The Swiss Roll serves 6 but I thought that it serves 4 because I can't get enough of it.

I couldn't believe how delicious this passion fruit Swiss roll was.
The passion fruit sauce was really refreshing all the way through with the light sponge and fluffy cream.

Although I really want to get this again, I am hoping to try the chocolate Swiss Roll as well.

[Review] Tesco Prawn Mayonnaise Sandwich

My favourite sandwich is always the Prawn Mayonnaise.

This time had the Tesco Prawn Mayonnaise Sandwich which was satisfying, the prawns were bouncy and creamy.

[Review] Tesco Strawberry Jam Donuts / Doughnuts

I felt like having something sweet so got the Tesco Strawberry Jam Donuts which have fresh cream in them.
There is also a custard version which I have been meaning to try but not all Tescos have them as strawberry is more popular.

The plastic tray that holds the donut is specially designed so that the cream does not touch the box.
Well done Tesco!
Anyway, the donut was light and fluffy as stated and the cream and jam were flawless so it definitely satisfied my sweet cravings.

[Review] M&S Plant Kitchen No Egg & Watercress Sandwich

I have always been curious about the M&S Plant Kitchen No Egg & Watercress Sandwich because what could they put in to replace the egg.
It turns out to be firm tofu and I was so glad I tried it because it was really tasty and the smart use of the crushed cannellini beans gave it that starchy cooked egg yolk texture.
There was also black pepper in it which gave it that extra depth so this sandwich is definitely worth trying.

Supermarket shelves in Hong Kong emptied by shoppers

Not to be alarmed.
The supermarkets are not really out of stock, it's just the cheap products being sold out.
In Hong Kong, there are other shops as well as the big chains if you think out of the box.
Its just a Chinese thing, they all do the same thing in fear of losing out, even taking pictures of the situation.
The good news is, plenty of cheese for the expats!

[Review] M&S Carrot Cake

Got some carrot cake from Marks and Spencers which I thought was the usual carrot cake.

When I took a closer look at the description, there was pineapple, raisins, coconut and walnuts topped with cream cheese frosting and a light dusting of cinnamon.

Overall, I loved this carrot cake because it was moist while the coconut and pineapple added a different sweet dimension to it.
