[Review] Tesco vs M&S Custard Donut / doughnut

Tried custard donuts from Tesco and Marks and Spencers.
Overall, I liked Marks and Spencers because the custard was not cloyingly sweet with specks of vanilla seeds in it and the taste was creamy.
As for Tesco, the custard let it down as it was too sweet but the custard was visually nicer as it was darker in colour.

[Review] Twinings salted caramel green tea

I was looking for Twinings Chocolate Coconut Indulgence Green Tea when I spotted the Twinings salted caramel green tea.
As the chocolate wasn't available, I decided to try the salted caramel green tea.

You could really smell the sweet aroma when the box envelope was opened.
After adding hot water, it just tasted like the usual green tea with a sweet aroma.

Despite the disappointment, I hope to try the other flavours like the ones below but not every supermarket stocks them.

youtube premium at LSE

Youtube were doing a promotion at LSE to promote youtube premium to students at LSE.


Once you've registered with your uni email, you get a limited edition youtube mug with churros.

As well as LSE, I was really chuffed they went to Queen Mary University of London as well.


Other campuses that youtube promoted to.

[Review] Tesco 4 Egg Custard Tarts

Custard tarts or egg custards tarts are a favourite pastry treat in the UK.
Portugal and France have their versions.
They are just simply delicious because of the short crust pastry, custard egg filling and a dash of nutmeg.




[Review] Tesco Raspberry Turnovers

A turnover is a pastry that is folded over in a shape of a triangle filled with a filling.
The sweet version is usually apple and cream.
At Tesco, they had raspberry so decided to try it.

The raspberry turnover was quite nice, it was filled with raspberry sauce as expected and fluffy fresh cream while the puff pastry was light and flakey.
Overall I still prefer apple because raspberry seeds can be quite annoying.





Goodbye to Debenhams Eastbourne

Sadly Debenhams will be closing its doors soon just like the fate of woolworths, C&A, BHS, Littlewoods and the two other biggies near the seafront.
This department store has been serving Eastbourne since I don't know when.
When you go in the store, you are greeted with all these perfume smells on the first floor.
On the second floor is a restaurant.
Anyway, sad to see it go.
