M&S Marks Spencer Slow Cooked Teriyaki Beef

I didn't know what to expect for the Teriyak beef but it looked good on the pictures.
You definitely got what you saw, the whole piece of beef was perfect for shredding just like duck hence it was good for bao fillings and how it was suggested.

The sauce that came with it was a bit too sweet for my liking so I used BBQ sauce instead which made it even better.

Vegan kitkat review

The vegan Kitkat was the second non regular kitkat to excite me just like the previous Ruby chocolate merely because the chocolate is different.
Matcha/Green Tea are too common these days that they didn't arouse my interest as much as these two did.
The vegan kitkat is made with couverture chocolate which means a higher percentage of cocoa butter which gives it a nice sheen, firmer snap and creamier taste which makes it ideal as a vegan kitkat because the creaminess makes up for the milk.
To be honest, if I ate this blindfolded, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference but the only noticable taste difference was that it was sweeter than the regular one which is a shame because you can't appreciate that extra creaminess that makes it couverture.

I suppose you could think of it tasting like dark chocolate but there was too much sugar in it.
Eating it from the fridge made it slightly better as things taste less sweet when chilled or frozen hence the high sugar content in icecreams/desserts.
Rating: 3/5 (would have been 4/5 if the sweetness was reduced)

Morrisons Mint Ice Cream Cones

Raided the fridge and discovered a box of Morrisons Mint Ice Cream Cones.
The mint icecream was bland but the dark chocolate and cone was too sweet.
When you get to the middle there is chocolate sauce.
Overall too sweet.

M&S Marks and Spencers "the grill' candied bacon

I am so glad I got the Candied bacon with maple sugar rub from M&S!!
It was amazing, the maple isn't cloyingly sweet and the texture of the cured bacon was crispy.

Depends on how long you put it in the oven for affects the caramelization and crispiness.

I left it longer and the bacon was crisp with a chew so it was to my liking.

M&S Meal for One Chicken Filled Yorkshire Pudding

I knew I was going to like the M&S chicken filled Yorkshire because it has succulent pieces of chicken nestled in a golden Yorkshire pudding with crispy diced potatoes, British pork, onion and sage stuffing, chipolata sausages in a rich gravy.
The combo of all this was like an early Christmas minus the cranberry.

As expected it was just delicious however I burnt the Yorkshire slightly so remember to keep an eye on the oven!

Lidl Oaklands Chestnut mushrooms

Got some chestnut mushrooms from Lidl, they were not bad.

Marks and Spencers Cape Hake Fillets

As a cod lover, I got the Hake fillets which are similar to cod therefore the texture and taste was similar to cod.

Overall, glad I tried it as the hake was succulent and flakey.
