Sainsburys Plant Pioneers No Prawn Toast

Sainsbury's own plant based Plant Pioneers brand is quite competitive and some of the items in the range can be quite good like the pork belly.
They have now taken the pork belly to the next level by pairing it with bao buns.

This post will be about the No Prawn toasts which were surprisingly good.

According to the label, it was White sliced bread topped with jackfruit, king oyster mushroom and sesame seeds.

The presentation was definitely convincing and not hard to achieve with the mock prawn paste covered in sesames seed.

There was one odd slice in the batch which clearly belonged to another piece of prawn toast as it was a different colour.

After putting it in the halogen oven, the toasts were nice and crispy but they were a bit oily so I should have blotted the oil with some tissue paper.

Despite the oil, the taste and texture was on the right track.

It strangely tasted like prawn with a bounce from the mushrooms.

Overall not bad, so you can think of it like eating a real prawn toast with a stingy layer of prawn paste with enough to give it a taste of prawns where you can't complain there are no prawns in it.

Adding lemon juice to it made it flawless.

Rating: 4/5.

Plant Pioneers no pork belly bao buns:

The pork belly is basically the same as the no pork belly bites launched for Christmas but the size is bigger paired with a bun.

Morrisons chocolate & orange donut / doughnut

I love trying new donut flavours from Morrisons. This time it was the relatively new chocolate orange donuts.
Had my branch stocked them, I would have got them sooner but the branch I go to strangely don't really stock the new flavours.

Usually Morrisons are generous with fillings but all five of these were consistently stingy, almost non existent.

The doughnut itself is consistent ie oily and not yeasty like other supermarkets so it really relies on the filling.

I wasn't really a fan of the chocolate orange because the orange was a bit artificial.

Anyway, I wished I had saved my 50p and waited for the new pink lemonade donuts.

With the rest of the donuts remaining, I had it with Cadburys desserts which were too sweet for their own good and they were a match made in heaven.

There was another mystery surrounding these donuts, I thought they were sold out as they were not on the shelves so I asked them if they had stocked them and strangely they were in the trolley but not put out and they were not due to expire that day or anything.

M&S Marks and Spencers Pilau Rice review

Marks and Spencers pilau rice is so basic yet it is just simply delicious because the riced is fluffy and soft however the spices can be a bit overwhelming.
It is perfect for complimenting anything.

Tesco Finest Sicilian Lemon Curd Muffins

To be honest, I am not a fan of lemon in cakes and dessert but I had this craving for something sweet so tried Tesco Finest Sicilian Lemon Curd Muffins.

They were Lemon flavoured muffin filled with lemon curd, topped with a crumble and icing sugar and a white chocolate cream drizzle.

To my surprise, I really liked it because the texture was more like cake and it was not overwhelmed by butter and the lemon curd was to my liking because it was not too artificial with the right sweetness.

The white chocolate cream drizzle was delicious as it gave it that extra sweet kick to it.

Tesco Salmon, Hoisin & Cucumber Mini Maki review

I have always wanted to try Tescos sushi after reviewing LIDL's hoisin duck.
Ended up getting the Salmon, Hoisin & Cucumber Mini Maki which does not contain any duck but it meant I could try their hoisin sushi.

In the box, you get 6 Hoisin, black sesame seed and chive mini nigiri, 6 smoked salmon hosomaki, 3 cucumber hosomaki and a bottle of soy sauce.

According to their website, their sushi rice is cooked in traditional Japanese pots and seasoned.

Overall, it was ok but I found the salmon a bit fishy while the hoisin nigiri a bit sweet because of the plum and the combination of seasoning used.

The thing that really impressed was the cute sushi soy sauce bottle.

Knorr Goracy Kubek Ogorkowa - Polish dill pickle instant soup review

I am gradually trying my way through Polish food that can be found at the supermarkets so this time I got myself some instant soup.

You will find lots of polish dishes with dill pickles and beetroot so I tried the Polish dill pickle instant soup which is also available in instant noodle form.

I knew I can going to like this because pickles and dill are just things I like.

The soup was lighter than imagined but the taste was quite comforting because you have that fragrant dill and then the pickles with an umami aftertaste.

Will be trying the other soups that I got soon so stay tuned.

Tesco Chicken and Mushroom Slice review

Chicken and mushrooms slices are popular treats that you just put in the oven.
At Tescos, you can get the fresh ones from the chilled section or frozen ones called Bakes.

Previously tried the frozen ones so now I am trying the chilled ones.

To be honest, they really good because the pastry was light and flakey but one might complain there was not much filling but I was ok with that because the mushrooms were earthy and strong.
