[Review] Salted black beans by Mee Chun Canning

I love anything with black beans hence my favourite tinned item is the fried dace with black beans and I love to cook anything with black beans like takeaway style black bean chicken, black bean bittermelon etc.

Recently I tried this Taiwanese black fish dried fish thing in oil which was so delicious that I was inspired to make it myself so I need to get some black beans.

Normally, I use yang jiang preserved black beans which most takeaways in UK use but I decided to try something else and bought the salted black beans by Mee Chun Canning.

I made some black bean mixture inspired by the Taiwanese one, the taste was just as good but most importantly the quality of the black beans because they tasted so good, they were full of flavour just like the ones in the canned fried dace with black beans.





[Review] Waitrose Cherry Lattice

 A while ago I was looking for the waitrose cherry bakewell yum yums but my nearest store didn't have it.

On this visit they had the impressive #cherrylattice

The initial taste was quite sweet from the icing but the cherries were nice and tart with a slight artificial cherry taste which I have a good tolerance for because I like cherries.

It was topped with intact chunky almond slices roasted to blond perfection.





[Review] Waitrose Butterscotch Pecan Crown

The Waitrose Butterscotch Pecan Crown was moreish because the butterscotch drizzle was not too overwhelming topped with quality pecan nuts.
The crown itself was not too airy or dense.



[Review] Waitrose Apple crumble danish

I doubted the apple crumble danish from Waitrose and partners because it didn't look as good as the other danishes but the apples that were barely visible were the star of the show because they were tangy and alive.

[Review] Vitasoy Dark chocolate waffle drink 2016

A while ago I tried the Vitasoy dark chocolate waffle drink.
It tasted like thick chocolate but I couldn't taste any waffles in it so I suspect the thickness is meant to be mimicking blended waffle.


[Review] Vitasoy Banana Pancake drink & Vitasoy Oat biscuit drink

A while ago in 2015, I tried these drinks by Vitasoy.
The banana pancake was obviously inspired by pancakes while the other one was just biscuits.
Both cartons were attractive especially the barcodes.


Vitasoy Banana Pancake:
I knew I wasn't going to like this drink because I don't like artificial banana flavouring.



Vitasoy Oat biscuit drink:
The 'oat biscuit' drink by vitasoy was surprisingly nice.
It is thick with a strong oat taste that is not too sweet.
