[Review] Alpro almond milk

Alpro is a non dairy brand that has been around for ages.

They have oat, almond and hazelnut milk and Cashew.

For people who want a milk that does not have a nutty taste, I would definitely recommend Alpro Cashew milk because it does taste creamy as claimed and it tastes just like whole meal which brought me memories of drinking milk during break at school.

There is a slight sweetness to it but not that noticeable if you gulp it down.

After trying the cashew milk, I can understand why cashew is used to make cheese because it is just like milk.

As well as cashew milk, the other non dairy nut milks that I like are hazelnut and almond purely because of the nutty aroma they have which goes nicely when you add it to tea, coffee or whatever you are making.

[Review] Sainsbury's Butternut Squash & Chilli Soup

Soups can be comforting in winter especially when they are velvety and smooth which was the case of Sainsbury's Butternut Squash & Chilli Soup.
The chilli in the soup gave it another dimension which was warming with a spicy kick.

Overall, the Butternut Squash & Chilli Soup is a nice change from your regular butternut squash.

[Review] Jamie Oliver Tortelloni review and fresh pasta and sauce range finds

I suspect these filled Bolognese tortellonis are regional because I have not spotted any @jamieoliver products at the tescos near me.
Anyway, I was given this pack of Jamie Oliver Bolognese Tortelloni pasta by someone in the south east.
On the topic of #jamieoliver I went to the TESCOs website found more Jamie Oliver pasta products:

Jamie Oliver Butternut Squash Tortelloni 250G, Jamie Oliver Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli Pasta 250G, Jamie Oliver Aubergine Parmigiana Tortelloni 250G, Jamie Oliver Carbonara Tortelloni Pasta 250G.

Bolognese and butternut squash would probably be my picks.

According to the instructions, you just have to cook it in sauce and the tortelloni will soften.

As I didn't have any sauce, I replaced the sauce with butternut squash soup which worked just as well but the tricky part was cooking the tortelloni in the soup as it didn't really absorb the soup so I had to add some water.

Overall, the Tortelloni was delicious.

Just for fun, here is a throwback of the TVC I took part in for Jamies Italian restaurant in Hong Kong:

Half a year later, I finally found more of these Jamie Oliver kits at a small Tescos Express along with his pasta sauces.

Tried the Butternut Squash Tortelloni which was tasty in tomato sauce.

The Aubergine Parmigiana Tortelloni was another delicious one because of the tomato puree in the filling.

[Review] Jacobs Mini Cheddars Nacho cheese and Jalapeno

The jalapeno nacho mini cheddars are not new but finally tried them.
The chilli kick was surprisingly hot.

[Review] Jacobs Mini Cheddars Chipotle Chicken Wings

The chipotle chicken wings mini cheddars were quite nice.
As for the taste, they were spicy and moreish.

Modern After Eights with gin and tonic, strawberry as well as orange

With all these new After Eight flavours, gin and tonic is definitely my pick.
Modern After Eights with gin and tonic at Sainsbury.

The dark chocolate was good and tasted better from the fridge as I followed the tip saying best served cold.
The fondant filling was mintier than the strawberry after eight but somehow lacked any taste of gin.
Overall nice but the fondant was too sweet.

After Eight Orange & Mint at Asda

After Eights Strawberry &Mint at Poundland.
These were launched ages ago along with orange mint and gin tonic but I didn't try them back then.
Anyway finally tried them and loved them.
The pairing of strawberry and mint is odd but it worked.
When you open the box you get that lovely chocolate strawberry smell that you get from quality street strawberry creams.
The taste is similar to that with subtle mint flavours so sometimes its like eating a chocolate strawberry creme and sometimes like a regular after eight.
