M&S Ponzu salmon & avocado dragon roll

The Marks and Spencers Ponzu salmon & avocado dragon roll looked captivating and the ponzu sounded appetizing so tried it.
It was labelled made with orange peel in the ingredients but it was strange I could only taste Clementine/Mandarin.
Although there was no ponzu taste whatever, the dragon rolls were nice overall.
For their clementine hot chocolate I couldn't taste the clementine but only orange.
Perhaps the citrus ingredients should be swapped for these two products.





Waitrose Cheese and onion soufflettes

During Christmas, there were lots of party food offered at different supermarkets.
M&S had the cheesy profiteroles and Waitrose had the cheese and onion soufflettes which are quite similar.
To be honest, I was bowled over by the Waitrose soufflettes because they were light and fluffy similar to American popover with a cheesy taste.
I expect the M&S profiteroles to be in a similar fashion but presented in a different shape.




Heinz Big Soup Minted Lamb

When I saw this soup, I had a feeling it would be good so I got it.
To be honest, it did not disappoint and the taste was really comforting with the mint and there were chunk of lamb which had a good texture after it was heated in the microwave.
Although you could argue it is a bit like baby food but with a stronger and richer taste.
I admit I eat baby food too so I can confirm it is similar with bigger chunks of carrot and potatoes.



Sainsburys bread sauce review

I go to Sainsburys a lot and I must admit, I never saw the bread sauce around Christmas.
Strangely I saw it in the reduced section in January.
As a bread sauce lover, I had to try it.
Overall it was a nice creamy sauce which goes well with roast.

I bought this Mini hidden Clementine Christmas Pudding from Waitrose by Heston for my mum so didn't try it.
Here is what the inside looks like.

New KitKats flavours in Hong Kong

New pistachio and milk tea flavour kitkat!
I love the tartan design and the squirrel.
Pistachio would definitely be my pick because I love pistachio.

Higgidy Cauliflower Cheese & Broccoli Quiche

To my knowledge there are two cauliflower cheeses on the market. One is Clive's and Higgidy is the other one.
Having tried Clive's I decided to try Higgidy for comparison.
The frustrating thing about this quiche is that the box markets it as a cauliflower quiche so you would expect more cauliflower but broccoli is more prominent.
The annoying thing is that you can't exactly complain because the description is a "Seeded spelt shortcrust pastry with cauliflower florets and mature Cheddar cheese, broccoli and a free range egg filling" but somehow there is more broccoli in it.
Basically it just tastes like a broccoli cheese quiche.
I had a similar experience with Clive's cauliflower quiche where the kale was more prominent than anything.
Overall nice but it shouldn't be called a cauliflower quiche.
