[Review] Calbee Roasted Goose Flavoured Potato Chips
Tried these Calbee Roasted Goose Flavoured Potato Chips when they were launched alongside Calbee Wonton Flavoured crisp a while ago.
As usual, Calbee crisp bags are big and hard to open, once you open them it is about 20% full so it really baffles me why they don't make smaller bags which uses less material.
When the Calbee Roasted Goose Flavoured Potato Chips was opened, there was a nice roast goose flavour.
You could taste the spices that are used for roast goose but overall the same problem with all Hong Kong savoury snacks, they taste too sweet.

When the Calbee Wonton Noodle Flavoured Potato Chips was opened, there was a pungent prawn smell to it and it tasted quite prawny which quite good.

[Review] Naked Noodles Cantonese Hoisin Duck
Naked Noodles have been around for a few years.
Tried the Cantonese Hoisin duck which didn't impress because it was strangely spicy and tasted more Indian than hoisin with the cloves.
Ingredients:
Dried Egg Noodles (71%) [Durum WHEAT Semolina, EGG], Sugar, Potato Starch, Flavourings (contain BARLEY, SOYA), Soy Sauce Powder (1.7%) [Water, SOYA Beans, WHEAT, Salt], Dried Carrot (1.1%), Dried Spring Onion (1.1%), Garlic Powder, Colour (Plain Caramel), Tomato Powder, Chinese Five Spice [Salt, Star Anise, Sugar, Onion Powder, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Clove, Fennel Seed, Ginger, Garlic], Ground Ginger, Onion Powder, Maltodextrin, Salt, Citric Acid, Palm Oil

[Review] Naked Rice Chinese Char Siu Long Grain Rice
Naked Noodles have been around for a few years.
Spotted the Naked Pot Rice series and there were so many interesting flavours: Katsu, Bibimbap, Sriracha, Malaysian curry, Szechuan Sweet & Spicy Rice and the Chinese Char Siu.
At Morrisons, they were promoting them for 75p which are usually 1.25 which prompted me to try the Naked Rice Chinese Char Siu Long Grain Rice.
I liked the way, there are three fill lines.
Recommended, Intense flavours for the not so adventurous.
To be honest, if you put too much water, it is going to be soupy but as I like my rice like risotto, I filled the water to the line just below the recommended to get intense flavours.
Before I added water, I rattled the cup and the grains of rice were light like puffs which means it doesn't need much water to soften.
It was really similar to this Korean Pot Rice that I tried earlier but forgotten the name.
When the rice was ready to eat, the smell and taste was just like char siu sauce so it definitely redeemed itself so I will try the other flavours.
I loved the way you could taste the finely chopped spring onions and the Chinese spices along with the slightly charred char siu aroma!
From the ingredients, it is definitely vegetarian so vegetarians can give it a try.
Ingredients:
Dried Rice, Maltodextrin, Potato Starch, Palm Oil, Flavourings (contain SOYA), Sugar, Soy Sauce Powder [Soy Sauce (Water, SOYA Beans, WHEAT, Salt), Maltodextrin, Salt], Dried Spring Onion, Tomato Powder, Dried Red Pepper, Colour (Plain Caramel), Garlic Powder, Ground Ginger, Chinese Five Spice (Salt, Star Anise, Sugar, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Clove, Fennel Seed, Ginger), BARLEY Malt Vinegar Extract Powder.

I also tried the Katsu curry and Szechuan Sweet & Spicy Rice.
The Katsu curry was really tasty while the Szechuan was sweet and spicy as advertised with hints of tomato and peppers.
[Supermarket finds] Marmite Peanut Butter
I love marmite but not peanut butter.
The only thing peanut butter tastes good is in satay sauce so marmite peanut butter satay sauce might work!!
Anyway, could this be double trouble or a match made in heaven!!
On the topic of marmite, Marks and Spencers have also launched Marmite butter and Marmite Cream Cheese!
