[Review] Quorn Roasted Sliced Fillets

Quorn is a really successful meat substitute that has been around since 1985, well before other brands.
This time I tried the Quorn Roasted Sliced Fillets which basically look and taste like chicken fillets.
They definitely tasted good with mayonnaise or peri peri sauce in a wrap.




Also spotted the Quorn escalope!

[Review] Morrisons The Best Cheese Bloomer

A Bloomers bread is a crusty loaf with rounded ends typically with several parallel diagonal slashes across the top.

At Morrisons, they had the Cheese Bloomer made with Red Leicester, Mature Cheddar and Regato so I decided to give it a try.

The Cheese Bloomer slices tasted great on its own as well as toasted with butter and ham.




[Review] Morrisons Danish Toffee Pecan Whirl

I love Danish pastry whirls and Morrisons had the Toffee Pecan whirl which was a little different compared to other supermarkets.
It is was drizzled with toffee and sprinkled with pecan nuts.
As for the swirl itself, it was a bit hard and dry as expected but if you microwave it for a few seconds it totally comes alive and tastes so much better because the toffee is much more gooey and the swirl is softer.

Overall a delicious treat because the sticky toffee and pecan nuts complimented it nicely which makes a change from having maple and pecan.


















[Review] Morrisons The Best Cheese & Onion Pasty

Every supermarket has their premium range of premium products.
This time I tried Morrisons The Best Cheese & Onion Pasty which comes in a black paper bag.
Unfortunately I prefer their regular pasties because the pastry was really hard and the filling was a bit too overwhelming.
The potato slices were nice and chunky but not soft enough for my liking.

[Review] Coop Irresistible Limited Edition Hand Cooked Katsu Curry Crinkle Cut crisps

Everything is Katsu these days and Coop has these Irresistible Limited Edition Hand Cooked Katsu Curry Crinkle Cut crisps so as a crisps reviewer I decided to give them ago.
According to the packet, they are seasoned with coriander and coconut.
The texture of these crisps are quite crunchy and hard, as for the taste it was actually quite nice because there was a strong taste of curry.
The coconut was mild Thankfully but overall it was good.


As well as Katsu crisps, they also have Korean Fried chicken crisps.



[Review] Coop Irresistible Sticky Toffee Apple Crumble

A while ago I spotted the Coop irresistible Sticky Toffee Apple Crumble which was on my eat list.
Finally got the Coop Irresistible Sticky Toffee Apple Crumble as there were no desserts in the fridge.
I was not sure what to make of it because the smell and taste of the apples reminded me of hubba bubba apple bubblegum.
It was really artificial yet somehow delicious because stewed apples just don't taste like that.
The crumble was thick but there were lots of oats which is the trend these days.
As for the sticky toffee, it was not as sweet as anticipated and it seemed like there was toffee in the crumble because when it was baked, the crumble did not go crisp but there seemed to be something in it that melted.
Overall, it was nice but the apple was strange!








[Review] Jerk Pork by The Old Fashioned Chef, Croydon Surrey Street Market

If you eat a lot of Caribbean food, it is often Jerk Chicken but not pork.
As well as Jerk pork, you can now find Jerk with an English twist like Jerk sausage which I tried in Walthamstow.

Anyway, The Old Fashioned Chef is a stall that serves Jerk every Saturday and Sunday at Surrey Street Market.
You can not miss them because you can smell the BBQ a mile away from the smoke plume which is coming off from oil drums and the sounds of meat being chopped by chef Ken Winston.

There are always long queues for the food so you just have to be patient.

Some people will travel all the way for the Jerk pork and so did I.
When you see Ken chop the meats, it is similar to how they chop and serve the roast meats in Hong Kong.

After a long wait, I finally got my jerk pork with rice and peas.

The taste was amazing and just how I expected it to be.
It was basically pork belly marinated in Jerk, it was delicious with a good degree of heat from the chillies while the pork belly was meaty with a crisp surface.
Some customers like the pork belly fat while I like it balanced.
Anyway, the Jerk Pork here is a must try and definitely a million times better than Hong Kong roast meats.
