Mayflower Curry Mix and Southern style gravy mix review

I got this after seeing Adam's Chinese dinner which looked like the real deal and then he told me it was a fakeaway.
Anyway it made me crave for curry sauce so I got the Mayflower curry mix.
It is interesting how it comes in a tub.
The taste of this curry sauce is unbelievably good.
Curry sauce fix satisfied!!
I was so tempted to post his picture because it seriously looked takeaway quality.

Since I was really impressed with the curry I got the Southern style gravy mix expecting it to taste like KFC but I was a bit hesitant because most reviews say it taste like black pepper.
Compared to the curry, the gravy thickened instantly with hot water which was really good compared to the curry.
The only let down was that the Black pepper was too strong like the reviews said and it was a bit too sweet for my palate.
Other than that the aftertaste was nice when the black pepper goes.














Ben's chilli con carne sauce

Ben's used to called Uncle Ben's but has recently changed its name.
Anyway, tried the chilli con carne sauce which was a surprise let down.
I found the sauce tasted more like a spicy ratatoulle than a chilli con carne maily because of the peppers, tomatoees and onions.
Sorry Uncle Ben!




Aldi Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

Aldi has some seriously good conserve options.
On this visit I spotted the black cherry and the Strawberry rhubarb.
Both were very tempting but I ended up getting the strawberry rhubarb because I have previously tried a black cherry jam by another brand.
In the past you could also get rhubarb ginger and damson plum conserve by Aldi. 
Although you couldn't really taste the tartness of the rhubarb it was still really impressive to find more than three intact chunks of rhubarb which makes up for it.
Overall, I was really glad I got this.








Aldi salted caramel scones

Scones are something I can't resist because they are simply heaven with cream and jam.
Aldi has tempted me again with the salted caramel scone by Haywood Padgett so expect that consistent delicious taste and texture.
What I liked about this salted caramel scone was that it was loaded with salted caramel pieces yet the sweetness was not overwhelming which made it versatile to pair it with any jam.



Baijua Mapo tofu seasoning

Overall, a nice aromatic mapo tofu seasoning which you can use to cook mapo tofu or any dish.









Cauldron Tofu

There are so many brands of tofu about and Cauldron Tofu served its purpose and tasted like tofu.
The texture was just right, not too soft and not too hard.
It worked well as a mapo tofu dish.




Lezza Dessert Kunafa Cheese

There are so many choices for Kunafah at the shops.
I chose Lezza Dessert because the syrup is separate so you can decide how sweet you want it.
It was only 4.40 and you get two pieces inside.
Overall, it was good but you have to bake it longer so that the dessert is rigid enough to plate it.
