Malaysian sachet VONO soup

The last time I had packet soup was in UK because I don't like the Chinese ones.
Anyway, VONO's packet soups are marketed as breakfast soups.
There are quite a few flavours, and although it is a product of Malaysia, I was quite surprised they made it quite western.
The one I tried was sweetcorn soup, it was slighty too sweet, but otherwise OK.

Claiming to be Japanese sausages when it originates from China





Saw these Japanese sausages and there were three interesting flavours:
Fish sausage with Salmon
Fish sausage with cod fish roe
Fish sausage with sea urchin
[note that the labelling is grammatically wrong, the above was my interpretation, see the pictures for the real name, infact quite alot of the English on the label did'nt make sense such as keep away from sunbeam and out of frame!]
I tried to go to their website but it just got redirected to some site in China and the labelling mistakes seems more Chinglish than Japanese-English.
The one that tasted the best was filled with sea urchin, but of course don't expect real sea urchin.

The one shown on the picture was the cod fish roe because I thought the cod roe looked interesting!

Vietnamese Bahn Phu The



Got these as a soeuvenir from some friends that came back from Vietnam recently.
I liked the leaf wrapping which was made from one long leaf folded into a square.
The taste was nice and coconutty with some yellow bean in the middle.
This particular one is called , "husband and wife cake"; a sweet cake made of rice or tapioca flour and gelatin, filled with mung bean paste; also spelled bánh xu xê).

Hung Fook Tong's sugar cane, sea coconut and carrot drink




Tasted OK but slightly too sweet for me.
I felt the taste of boiled carrot stood out the most lingering with tones of sugar cane.

7-eleven snacks [Tuna Roll]

Saw these interesting skewers from 7-eleven, so tried the tuna roll, basically it dosnt really taste of tuna.
It just tastes of flour flavoured with flavouring!
The appearance of the tuna roll was trying to imitate tuna sushi rolls.

American dollar pancakes with yoghurt

I am not good at making pancakes, but I topped it with yoghurt instead of syrup and jam.

Buckwheat soba seafood bolognaise

Was bored with pasta bolognaise, so replaced pasta with the Japanese buckwheat soba 蕎麥麵, and served it with seafood and bolognaise sauce.
