[Review] Coop Vanilla Cheesecake

I was at Coop to get the new sticky toffee tarts but they didn't have them.
Ended up getting the Coop Vanilla cheesecake which is a bit different.
I am not keen on cheesecakes but it was vanilla so decided to try it.
The Vanilla cheesecake tasted how I expected it to be, it was sweet and creamy like white chocolate but the biscuit base was rather thick and dense.
It was nice that the cheesecake came in a sturdy plastic container rather than those weak foil tins.

[Review] Morrisons Fishmonger's Lemon & Herb Seabass Fillet Boneless with a Lemon oil dressing

The packaging of the Morrisons Fishmonger's Lemon & Herb Seabass Fillet was captivating because there was a mini sauce blister for the lemon oil dressing which was why I ended up getting it!!!

It was my favourite filleted seabass as well so I knew I was going to like it.

The fish was ready to eat after putting it in the oven with some potatoes and it was quite tasty.

It would have been nice if the marinade was more lemony but it is easily fixed if you have some lemon in the fridge.

[Review] Ginsters Cornish Pasty

Ginsters is famous for their ready to eat Cornish Pasties since the 1970s.
Currently they are still leaders in the market and definitely on the ball as they offer more like Vegan pasties and other products like the Moroccan vegetable pasty.
Since I have not reviewed Ginsters, I got the Cornish Pasty to review.
The pasties were actually quite nice because I liked the potatoes which made it wholesome while the black pepper kick was a nice balance to the pork.
As I am not that keen on meat, I wasn't fussed that there wasn't much but physically you can see and taste the beef in it.
Now that I have tried the Cornish Pasty, I hope to try the others in the range.

[Review] Port Royal Jamaican Lamb Patty

I love Jamaican patties and there are many brands about for the ready to eat ones as well as fresh patties available at Jamaican shops.
As I have not come across the Port Royal brand before I decided to try it.
After microwaving it for 50 seconds it was hot and the pastry was soft which did not bother me.
Ideally, if you put it in the oven then you would get a lovely flaky texture.
For those who are not keen on lamb, it can smell a bit gamey but the spices are really appetizing so it makes the minced lamb tasty.
I definitely recommend these Port Royal patties as they have other flavours like spicy beef, jerk chicken and salt fish.
Ideally I want to try the salt fish but haven't seen it any where.

[Review] Muller light smooth Toffee

The Muller light smooth Toffee was another flavour that I haven't tried hence got it.
The taste is smooth with sweet toffee which is easy going hence it should be a flavour that everyone would like.
I was hoping for some toffee pieces but it makes sense there are not any because it does say smooth toffee!

[Review] Lidl's Portuguese Tart

After trying this amazing Portuguese Tart from Morrisons, I wasn't sure if I was lucky so I tried Lidl's Portuguese tart which is much raved about.
The pastry of Lidl's Portugese tart wasn't that good or I happened to get the odd one that wasn't at its best.
As for the filling, Lidl fare better because it wasn't so sweet.

As so many people were raving about how good the Lidl's Portuguese Tart should be, I went again and got a better one.

Out of the batch, only one looked good and this one tasted better than the one above mainly because the pastry was more defined.

[Review] Morrisons 2 Portuguese Custard Tarts

Portuguese custard tarts or any food is meant to taste delicious if executed properly but I was put off by Portuguese tarts in Hong Kong because they were simply not fit for consumption.

Visually they were oily and burnt and when you eat them your fingers are covered in oil while the taste is burnt and eggy.

Although I was put off Portuguse tarts, food in UK is generally good from anywhere.

The first ever Portuguse tart I tried in UK was from Morrisons.

Visually I was impressed because it had all these distinct layers and it was not burnt so if you reheat the tart, it allows room for it to become golden.

After reheating it carefully, the Portuguese custard tart was amazing, the pastry was crisp and flakey and the custard filling was sweet but not eggy like the Hong Kong ones.

Apart from being too sweet, I would give it 99/1000.

I wasn't sure if I was lucky so I tried Lidl's Portuguese tart which is much raved about but the pastry wasn't as good or I got the odd one that wasn't at its best.
