[Review] Aldi Gianni's Mini Viennese Mint Ice Creams

Wall's Viennetta is obviously popular hence there are so many other inspired Viennetta ice creams around so I am trying all the different versions that I can get hold of especially the mint flavour.
So far I have tried Wall's Viennetta, Icelands Salt Caramel Vienna, Lidl's version and now I finally got hold of Aldis.
Let see if other supermarkets will launch their own soon like Tescos, Asda and Sainsburys.
The Aldi version is appealing like Icelands because they come on sticks which make it convenient

I tried it as soon as I bought them and they were a bit soft so I had it again the next day and it was a bit firmer.
As for the taste, the chocolate was more prominent and it slightly bitter.
Overall, it wasn't but I don't think I will be getting it again.

[Review] Morrisons 5 Fruit Salad Doughnuts

As well as English comforts that are found at Morrisons fresh bakery, Morrisons occasionally comes out with some fun and creative items like the winterberry and Halloween green slime doughnuts.
This time, they came out with the Fruit Salad Doughnuts!!
Fruit Salad is a retro fruit chew that is Raspberry and Pineapple flavoured made by Barratts.

Sadly my nearest Morrisons didn't have it so I had to make a special trip to a bigger branch of Morrisons and they had it.
The bakery at that branch was impressive because there was an area designated for the bakery items as well as fresh cream cakes and other treats.

I ended up leaving the store with Fruit Salad Doughnuts as well as the Salted Caramel donuts because my local Morrisons doesn't have them.

Finally tried the fruit salad donut by Morrisons which I felt was more like a novelty donut.
When I cut the donut in half, it didn't look like there was much filling but it turns out that the filling is on one side.
Obviously the filling was not chewy like the sweet but like a thick creme.
The filling tasted just like the fruit salad sweets but the artificial pineapple notes were stronger than the raspberry so if the raspberry had been stronger then it would have been perfect.
They were nice but nice enough that I wouldn't want to finish the other four off because I can't wait to try the salted caramel which I expect to be good!

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Tarte Aux Abricots

A while ago I spotted the Marks and Spencers Tarte Aux Abricots (Apricot Tart) which I knew was going to be good.
According to the labeling, it is an all butter sweet pastry, brimming with juicy apricots in a light frangipane, topped with roasted almonds.
I found it similar to the apple Eves pudding at M&S.

The tart is simply delicious on its own or with a dash of cream because the apricots are soft and mushy bursting with flavour.
Each mouthful was heaven with the juicy apricots which were musky with a faint tartness.
Adding cream to it made it even more divine!

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers 2 Egg Custard Tarts

Nothing beats a delicious egg custard tart from Marks and Spencer.
These taste better than Chinese egg tarts as the filling is creamy with a lovely custard taste infused with nutmeg on a shortcrust pastry.
As well as the 2 pack, they also come in 4s.
This time had it warm by microwaving it for 5 seconds and the nutmeg flavour really comes alive.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers 2 Strawberry Scones

The sweet treats at Marks and Spencers are always amazing especially the strawberry scones with fresh cream.
The scones are soft and fluffy complemented by the deliciously light cream and fruity strawberry jam.
Something that I can never get bored of.

[SSG Kitchen] Greek inspired Crumpet topped with Taramsalata and Green Manzanilla olives

Yay, my last crumpet.
This time I topped it with #taramasalata with green Manzanilla olives and chives.
It's nice but I think black olives would contrast the pink and green better as well as the taste but didn't have any in the fridge.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Pink Gin Cream

After trying the successful strawberry clotted cream, I decided to try the pink gin cream.
I thought it was going to be thick pouring cream but it turns out it is thick like clotted cream.
Before using the pink gin cream I decided to try it on its own and boy the gin was strong with a big kick of bitterness and a slight sweet aftertaste.
Since it was quite strong, I paired it with an iced yumyum and the taste was strangely delicious so I definitely recommend pairing the pink gin cream with an iced bun or a rich chocolate cake.
Finally tried it on some strawberries and it was amazing!

First you have the thick velvety creaminess of the cream and then the sweetness and gin kicking through to complement the strawberry.
