Llewellyn's Hot pepper sauce delivered by FedEx

I was really lucky to get a bottle of this chili sauce delivered by FedEx from the Caribbean!
A tiny drop really packs a punch, the sauce contains Thyme, brown sugar, vinegar, red and green pepper.


Quoted from FedEx:

FedEx Express launched its latest multi-market advertising campaign, which shares the story of how a small hot pepper sauce maker from Nevis in the Caribbean, Llewellyn Clarke, can realise his dream—and the dream of so many small businesses—of going global.

too sum 100 calorie snack bar

When I first came across this snack bar I thought it was a dental product because of the name toosum.

toosum comes from the old English word “toothsome,” means temptingly tasty and delicious.

toosum seeks tasty natural ingredients from around the world and each 100 calorie snack bar flavour is inspired by exotic locations such as the South Pacific islands, the Amazon rainforest, the Greek Mediterranean Sea, and East Asia.

There are four flavours:
Each bar is clearly labelled.

My favourites were the greek yoghurt and the cherries and plum really I love the fruity tastes.
The texture of the bar was nice and chewy with crispy chia seeds in it and the overall taste was good because it was not too sweet.

Calbee potato sticks with Mango Habanero Chili dipping sauce

Thanks to Calbee for these fun Potato sticks that comes with a dipping sauce.
The proper name of this product according to the packaging is:
Calbee potato crunch potato sticks (original flavour) with Mango Habanero Chili Dipping Sauce.
卡樂脆薯條!「芒果哈瓦那辣椒醬」
On the side of the packaging, there is a little introductory about the Habanero Chili.
So when you open the box, you will find a bag of Original potato sticks and a dipping sauce.
 
It was good that it came with the Original potato sticks because it does not have any other flavours that will over power the Mango Habanero sauce.
The sauce was really good because it was spicy with a short burst of spiciness that did not linger followed by a sweet aftertaste.
I found the dipping sauce sufficient for the whole pack of potato sticks and was the remaining sauce after the potato sticks were finished.
I will definitely get these again and hope to see more flavours!!

Kellogg's Chocolatey Pretzel cereal bar

There are quite a few flavours for Kellogg's cereal bars.
So far I have tried Kellogg's chocolate and raspberry and red cherry.
Finally tried the Pretzel one which was surprisingly good, at first I thought the Pretzels were going to make it taste weird but the whole bar itself had this interesting caramel taste to it and the texture was nice and chewy.

Nissin Tom Yum Goong cup noodles

I was hesitant in getting Nissin's Tom Yum Goong cup noodles because I wasn't sure how spicy it would be.
Anyway, it turned out I loved it because it had nice lemon tones to it and the lemongrass was not strong.
The spiciness was spicy as expected but the tangy notes made it appetizing.

Kuang Chuan asparagus juice 光泉蘆筍汁

The taste of this asparagus juice was rather disappointing because it just tasted like cane sugar juice.
On the packaging, it states that a low percentage of the drink is made up of asparagus juice so what is the made of??

Doll's Typhoon Shelter style noodles

Product name:
DOLL Fried noodles : Fried garlic and chili flavour.

In Chinese it actually reads "bei fung tong hau mei" (避風塘口味) that means Typhoon Shelter flavour which involves fried garlic and chili cooked with crab.
There is a sachet of fried garlic and chili with these noodles.
After putting water in the noodles for 3 minutes and draining it, I put the sachet of sauce and condiments.
The garlic and chili really enhanced the noodles because it had a crisp crunch to it which made the soft noodles less boring but the taste of the noodles overall were way too salty.
