Ganoderm lucidum spores and propolis capsule

Got a sample of these health supplements thanks to U Food.

The capsules are by Wai Yuen Tong.

The sample contained 10 capsules and I was suprised it came in a nice bottle rather than blister packaging.

I thought they would be gel capsules because it contained propolis but they were powdered and in plastic capsules.

Anyway just for fun I opened the capsule and swallowed the powder without the capsule and the smell of the propolis was quite strong.
Apart from that it tasted quite bitter.






Dried dragonfruit slices

I didnt try these because they were on display but since I saw them I took a photo of them!

Casino Saint-Marcellin cheese

Again, I should have googled this cheese before consuming it because the runniness of the cheese increases with age and this answers why there are holes in the packaging!

The texture was similar to camembert but not as strong, however it was lovely and creamy.
Its packaging reminded me of a huge contact lenses case!

Saint-Marcellin is a soft French cheese made from cow's milk. Named after the small town of Saint-Marcellin (Isère), it is produced in a geographical area corresponding to part of the former Dauphiné province (now included in the Rhône-Alpes région). It is generally small in size, weighing about 80 grams (50% fat), with a mottled creamy-white exterior. The degree of runniness increases with age as the exterior gains blue, then yellow, hues within two to three weeks after production.







Casino Clafoutis cerises

Clafoutis is a baked French dessert of black cherries arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter. The clafoutis is dusted with powdered sugar and served lukewarm.

Before I found this info from the internet I did not know it was served warm so I ate it straight from the fridge.
Now it seems to make sense that it is in a foil dish!
It would have probably tasted nicer sweet! What a waste!








Optima Activjuice for joints - glucosamine sulphate

I am reviewing this as a drink and not as a health supplement, but glucosamine sulphate claims to give you healthy joints.

It tastes the same as orange cordial you get in UK, I am saying that because orange cordial tastes different in different countries.

It also has a slight bitternesss to it.

I tried mixing the cordial with black tea without milk and it tasted quite nice.

The cordial must be shaken before use as there is crystallization in it.




Rickshaw Jasmine tea bags

Hopefully I will remember not to buy this brand again because the tea bags are not packed into smaller packets inside so you need a container to store them.

Emmi Swiss Premium yoghurt


Tried the Emmi Swiss yogurts which has six flavours: aloe vera, pineapple, raspberry, apple apricot and blueberry.
Aloe vera and raspberry tasted the best. The pineapple was slightly sour.
