[Review] Aldi Diplomat Pure Green Tea

Only tried this because it was cheap.
For 55p, you get 40 tea bags!
Unfortunately, it was just tasteless yet the tea had the strong colour.
Strangely it was bland but you could still distinguish it was green tea.
Definitely not impressed because after 20 minutes, a layer of tea scum had formed.

[Review] Aldi Rhubarb and Custard Hot Cross Buns

I don't really shop at Aldi unless there is something they offer and others don't.
This year they had this Rhubarb and Custard hot cross buns which no other supermarket had, so being a fan of rhubarb and custard I had to get it.
Finding an Aldi that had it wasn't easy.
I don't drive so I went to the branch in Camden because it was near the tube station but sadly they didn't have it two days in a row.
Anyway, I finally got it at this Aldi branch near Coulsdon which was a bit bothersome as it was quite a few bus stops away.

As well as the Rhubarb, they also had Triple berries hot cross bun which Marks and Spencers also had in 2015 but the Aldi version has difference berries like lingonberries, blueberries and cranberries.

Finally got my hands on the Aldi Rhubarb and Custard Hot Cross Buns!!

To be honest, they were really good because I loved the chunks of candied rhubarb which were sweet and not tart.

The bun was quite yellow in colour possibly owing to the custard.
As for the taste, it was really sweet but sweet in the sense of dessert.
To summarize as a non hot cross bun fan, it really turned me round because of the favourable ingredients.

Update: March 2021

A year after and Aldi has expanded the hot cross bun range with White chocolate raspberry, honeycomb, salted caramel choclate and chili and cheese which M&S were the first to launch last year.

[Review] Calbee Roasted Goose Flavoured Potato Chips

Tried these Calbee Roasted Goose Flavoured Potato Chips when they were launched alongside Calbee Wonton Flavoured crisp a while ago.

As usual, Calbee crisp bags are big and hard to open, once you open them it is about 20% full so it really baffles me why they don't make smaller bags which uses less material.

When the Calbee Roasted Goose Flavoured Potato Chips was opened, there was a nice roast goose flavour.

You could taste the spices that are used for roast goose but overall the same problem with all Hong Kong savoury snacks, they taste too sweet.

When the Calbee Wonton Noodle Flavoured Potato Chips was opened, there was a pungent prawn smell to it and it tasted quite prawny which quite good.

[Review] Naked Noodles Cantonese Hoisin Duck

Naked Noodles have been around for a few years.
Tried the Cantonese Hoisin duck which didn't impress because it was strangely spicy and tasted more Indian than hoisin with the cloves.
