Nissin: Black garlic oil tonkotsu flavour cup noodles

Finally tried the cup noodle version of the black garlic oil tonkotsu.

The soup is the same as the packet ones, however in the cup version there are dehydrated egg bits and pork.

The noodles do not taste as good as the packet ones because the texture is different, however the black garlic oil was fun putting it in the cup noodles and seeing the droplets disperse.

Aunt Betty's Traditional Steamed Puddings - Belgian chocolate

Previously I have had fresh steamed puddings and the ones from the can by Heinz (treacle sponge pudding http://supersupergirl-food.blogspot.com/2011/12/treacle-sponge-pudding-and-custard.html), this is the first time trying it from plastic cartons.

There are two ways you can heat it up, microwave or steaming, this was heated by the microwave, so to be fair I need to steam next one.

After microwaving it, the pudding was dense and dry, there was some weird plastic smell.
The chocolate sauce was too sweet.
I have also tried the golden syrup version which is better.

Aunt Betty's Traditional Steamed Puddings - Golden syrup

I heated this pudding by steaming it as I tried microwaving it before and the sponge was dense and dry.

After steaming, it was soft, however the texture of the pudding was rough.

If it wasnt so cloyingly sweet it would have been perfect or it would be good served with custard or cream to balance out the sweetness.

Nice spice grinders at a restaurant by Drogheria & Alimentari.

Other spices I want to try are Porchini mushroom, seafood supreme and cinammon and sugar.

Tea Forté English Breakfast Tea

Found out about this exiquisite tea by Tea Forte.

Its design and packaging is different and elegant.

It was such a shame the restaurant served it the wrong way!

I was given a beer sized glass with hot water (which was not boiling) with more than the usual amount of water you would use for tea.

The major problem was that the cup should have been shallower to let the pyrimid infuser contents infuse.

But anyway, no one serves tea in a glass!!!!!

Apart from English breakfast tea, they also have other blends and other nice packaging.

Other blends in this range:

Earl Grey, Orchid Vanilla, Flora, Lemon Ginger, English Breakfast, Silk Oolong, Chamomile Tisane, African Solstice, Black Currant, Formosa Oolong, Citrus Mint, Jasmine Green, Bombay Chai, White Ambrosia, Coco Truffle, Sencha, Estate Darjeeling, White Ginger Pear, Raspberry Nectar, Green Tango.

Organic Valley Milk

The packaging looked cute so thats why I brought it.

It basically tastes like the usual milk which was pleasant, but after adding some honey it tasted better.

Its website was interesting too:

http://www.organicvalley.coop/

Its .coop and not the usual .com!

Other products that they do:
