[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Crispy Lemon Chicken

The Chinese meal range at Marks and Spencers is honestly impressive covering almost everything from duck, starters, stir fries etc.

This time I tried the Marks and Spencers Crispy Lemon Chicken which comes with a side of lemon sauce.

The chicken is slightly different to the my regular takeaway in that it is battered vs the light flour coating at the takeaway I go to.

Anyway, I thought Marks and Spencers totally nailed it because the Lemon sauce is the thing that makes it lemon chicken.

The sauce was spot on, I suppose it tasted like lemon sherbet sweets but it still tastes like your Chinese takeaway lemon sauce so it complemented the chicken fabulously.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers The Coconutty One Fragrant Coconut Noodle Salad

Early this year,  Marks and Spencers have launched these veg pots with a healthy twist by layering vegetables, pulses and grains into them.
They have read to eat pots or hot versions to choose from.
Since I like rice noodles, I chose The coconutty one which is coconutty rice noodles topped with vibrant slaw.
Overall, it was refreshing and balanced with crunchy slaw on top but I wasn't too keen on the dressing as the lemongrass over powered everything.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Sticky Toffee Trifle

Traditional trifle is jelly, custard, sponge with cream on top.
These days, there are so many other versions like chocolate trifle.
At Marks and Spencers they offer the traditional trifle, best ever trifle, chocolate trifle and the sticky toffee trifle.
This time I had the Marks and Spencers Sticky Toffee Trifle which is toffee sauce, layered with sponge and custard topped with cream and butterscotch pieces.

The sticky toffee trifle has definitely satisfied my sweet cravings because their custard goes well with anything and it certainly did with the gooey toffee at the bottom while you have the crunch from the butterscotch pieces on top.

Will definitely try their chocolate trifle as well.

[Review] The collective dairy raspberry gourmet live yoghurt

As I haven't posted any yoghurts by The Collective dairy, I decided to try The collective dairy raspberry yoghurt.
The size of the yoghurt is reasonably big compared to other brands while the design was quite nice and appeals to the younger generation.
The yoghurt was nice and thick with a generous layer of raspberry compote on the bottom and on the top.

Overall, it was nice but I would prefer to get my hands on their other exciting flavours as shown on their website like Russian Fudge, butterscotch, rhubarb vanilla and Espresso Martini etc as raspberry is everywhere.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Caramel Dessert

The Caramel Dessert ( Creme Caramel ) is another one of those desserts that I was brought up with but never really posted any photos on it.
As I haven't had one for ages, I got the Marks and Spencers Caramel Dessert which was comfortingly delicious.
It was smooth egg custard floating on top of liquid caramel.
Basically a must try if you haven't tried it.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Chunky Chicken & Chorizo Soup

I had second thoughts on whether to buy this soup or not but decided to get it anyway.
To be honest, the Marks and Spencers Chunky Chicken & Chorizo Soup surprised me because the chicken chunks were tender and the Ariete rice in the soup reminded me of Southern gumbo soup.
Overall, the soup was really filling but it was a bit too salty.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Singapore Noodles

The Chinese range at Marks and Spencers is just amazing, you will find everything ranging from black bean beef, spare ribs, sweet and sour to Singapore Noodles.
Previously tried the Aromatic Duck which was fantastic so this time I am trying the Singapore Noodles as well as the Lemon Chicken.
The Singapore noodles are fine rice noodles with chargrilled chicken , pork , prawns in a spicy coconut & tamarind sauce.

If you remove the sleeve and take a peak, you can see that there is so much meat as well as noodles.
As for the taste I felt that it was a bit different to the ones you get at the takeaways mainly because of the coconut and tamarind sauce which makes it slightly refreshing with a Thai twist.
