Lucozade Black edition Cola

Just tasted like super sweet coke.

There was no taste of lucozade.

Wild Mushroom Risotto - Ainsley Harriott

I have always wanted to try this so finally bought it.

I hesistated before because I do not like cooking then I had a spark of inspiration to put the contents in a rice cooker and leave it.

Saying that, you do need to keep an eye on it or the risotto will be burnt and dry.

From my experience, its best to leave it in the cooker and when the water is nearly absorbed its ready to serve.

I did not measure the water because it was bothersome, so I put one part of rice with two parts of water.

For normal rice it is one to one, but I had a feeling risotto would be harder so I put two parts.

In the end, the risotto was delicious, the mushroom taste was strong.

Althought there was an extremely creamy smell when the packet was opened, it did not taste that way and I am now tempted to buy the other flavours:

Blue Cheese & Broccoli Risotto

Pea & Mint Risotto

CHOSEN Fish crackers

These crackers where surprisingly nice and the fish taste was extremely strong that it similar to eating fried fish skin.

However they were slightly too salty.

The cracker pieces were quite big and filled the entire bag unlike Chinese snack packaging where it is a quarter filled and the rest is THIN AIR!

I really appreciate how Indonesian and Philipino food can be cheap and come in decent amounts and not fake like food in China.

Buckwheat seeds

Recently had some soba and found these really crispy seeds but I didn't know what they are.
After asking G.F I was told they were buckwheat seeds which is really cool having them sprinkled with soba noodles made of buckwheat!
As well as soba, French savory crepes are also made with buckwheat!!

Imuraya ice cream with Azuki beans and yellow bean flour

I do not not Azuki beans but got this ice-cream because it contained yellow bean flour.

The ice-cream had lots of azuki beans in it and it had azuki bean paste at the bottom so for azuki bean lovers they would like it.

I only liked the top part of the icecream because there was lots of yellow bean flour.

The sweetness of the overall icecream was really sweet.

I was surprised that they had this brand in the US!

cled'or Red Carpet cheesecake icecream

The strawberry flavour tasted really fake, and the packaging was really similar to Haagan Daaz that people asked me what flavour of HD it was.

The tub was not good because it was not rigid after you took the lid off.

MyungDong Instant Rice Cake Soup

The rice cakes I have tried before were the Shanghainese types and it seems that the Koreans have a similar thing.

Rice cakes usually come vacumn packed or in brine.

As these are instant ones I was curious how they would be packed, it turns out they are also vacumned packed inside.

I never tried them before because Korean food is usually spicy and this one is not hence I got them to try.

The broth tasted nice but I didnt really like the ricecakes and they were too chewy and I had already put them in boiling soup for at least five minutes.

There was a slight sour taste taste to the ricecakes.

The broth was nice and colourful, it had pieces of dehydrated eggs and seaweed.
