M&S Beef & Onion with peppercorn mayo on a sub roll

When I saw this, the pairing of beef & onion and peppercorn mayo looked good so I didn't hesistate getting it.

The beef slices in the sub looked like decent roast beef slices as well.

After warming it in the microwave for 25 seconds, the roll was simply amazing.

The fiery peppercorn mayo and sweet caramelized onions were so good together and then you have the quality beef slices so overall highly recommended.

Bird's Brandy Sauce

After Christmas, there was a big clear out at Sainsburys so I grabbed myself with a bargain on the Bird's Brandy sauce which was only 5p.

I wasn't sure what to do with it at first because I am not a fan of mince pies so I saved it until I had something to go with it.

Since I had some puff pastry I decided to use it as a filling because the consistency at room temperature was just like thick custard.

The taste of Brandy sauce is similar to regular custard infused with Brandy which made it perfect as a puff pastry filling.

There was a strange aniseed taste to it as well.

Overall, the Brandy sauce is nice if you like custard.

Mom’s Dry Noodle Spicy & Sour Flavor 老媽拌麵 (酸辣麵)

Mom's dry noodles is a world famous Taiwanese brand that has restaurants in Hong Kong as well as noodle kits available at Zstore as well as various supermarkets in the UK such as See Woo.

Also available in the US as well as Malaysia!

I tried the spicy & sour noodle kit which has been recommended by The Ramen Rater.

Just like other Taiwanese noodle kits, it comes in a well designed packet with sauces sachets included and all you do is cook the noodles, drain the water and toss in the sauces.

I thought the star of the show was the chilli oil which was so fragrant and appetizing made with chilli oil, sesame and Sichuan pepper oil.

The noodles had a nice firm yet soft texture with a good bite resistance.

For those who like it softer I suggest cooking it for a few more minutes than the suggested time.

Kung Fu Food Vegetable mushroom bun Jiangnan style 江南風味的素包

I love Jiangnan style buns because they are always loaded with vegetables.
Kung Fu Food specializes in these Jiangnan style buns and there are four different ones to choose from:
Shiitake Mushroom and Vegetable, Pickled Mustard and Bamboo Shoot Buns, Turnip strip and celery & beancurd.

It was really hard deciding which one to get as they are all good but I tried the shiitake mushroom and vegetable.

Visually, the buns look restaurant quality and who knows some restaurants could be steaming the same buns as well.

The most impressive thing is that the vegetables inside the bun look fresh even though they are previously frozen.

I loved the coarsely chopped vegetables which were grassy green and really tasty.

Overall, a must try because they taste good on their own or even better with some chilli oil/sauce.

These buns are made by Kung Fu Food 英國功夫食品公司 in UK hence you the quality and taste is assured.

Available at various Asian supermarkets in the UK like See Woo.

M&S Red Leicester cheese slices

I love cheese and some cheeses tastes really good when melted.

The red Leicester cheese was so good melted because it was slightly sharp in taste.

I used the the red Leicester cheese on toast as well as to make some cheesy puffs.

Angel Delight Soft Serve Ice Cream Butterscotch Flavour

Earlier this year, Iceland launched an Ambrosia soft serve ice cream which was a success and now they are doing an Angel Delight version which comes in two flavours: strawberry and butterscotch.

Strawberry flavours can be artificial so I got the butterscotch which is now one of my favourite ice cream along with the Ambrosia vanilla.

The butterscotch angel delight tastes exactly the same as the dessert version but in soft serve form.

Angel delight ready to eat pots:

M&S Haggis Scotch Egg 2022 and 2023

For Robert Burns night, Marks and Spencers had a good range of offerings but sadly I found out too late so I could only get the Haggis scotch egg or I would have got the Haggis cheese bake as well.

The haggis scotch egg was how I expected it to be but the haggis was rather soft and didn't hold well.

Overall, I thought it was really delicious and you even get that metallic blood type of aftertaste.

According to someone on Instagram, the haggis is made by macsween.

Update!

2023 version of the Scotch egg.
