Little moons giveaway

Little moons were giving away free ice cream mochi at Whitworth gardens near Goodge Street.
They had an interactive billboard where you can win a box of mochi by playing thumb wars.








Sleep Well oat drink

I don't have any sleeping issues but was just curious how this oat drink tasted containing Valerian.
As a drink it was soothing and pleasant and if you can buy it in the shops I am sure it wouldn't contain a significant amount like a proper adminstered dosage.
Drank this during the afternoon so lets see if I feel sleepy lol.






Lidl Italiamo Sfogliatine Glassate puff pastries with an apricot glaze

These delicious puffs are amazing.
They are light and crispy topped with a sugary thin apricot coating.
I have had these before but I can't quite remember where and where I bought them.




M&S Green Herby Feta Dip - Master Deli The Collection

There are so many dips about these days but I was captivated by the Green herby feta dip which is labelled as having aged barrel feta and yoghurt with basil.
It definitely did not disappoint with that creamy sharp feta and basil which went well with freshly made Kurdish naan from Shadi Bakery.







Brothers Cherry Bakewell cider

I don't really drink alcohol but I do love trying alcoholic beverages.
Brothers cider is an alcoholic drink that I am partial to because I love its sweet bold flavours.
Drinks I have tried in the past include toffee apple which is so decadent.
This time I fell for the cherry bakewell which comes out a nice vibrant red colour.
It had a lovely cherry smell similar to that of glacier cherry.
There was a prominent cherry taste but it was a little bit artificial and I couldn't taste any almond in it.
Overall not bad as I felt it was a unique and different as well as the other ciders in the range like rhubarb custard and parma violets.

康師傅老罈酸菜牛肉麵 Master Kong Beef with pickled Vegetable noodles

Randomly tried these noodles because it looked interesting.
Inside the bag, you get noodles and four sachets.
The four sachets are: broth powder, condiments, spicy paste and pickled vegetables.
As I am not fond of the broth, I left it out after cooking and then mixed some spicy paste so it was really delicious.
The spicy paste was really spicy so if you can't tolerate the spices then don't put so much.








Rustlers slow cooked Mini Ribs and Chicken Wings

Rustlers which specializes in microwave burgers now do slow cooked chicken wings and mini ribs!
As a Rustlers fan, I had to try them.
The idea of slow cooked sounded good, to me that means meat that comes off the bone effortlessly.
I tried the ribs first and before I bought them, they reminded me of other supermarket ribs where it comes in a pouch that you reheat in the microwave and it was exactly that.
The BBQ sauce is separate so I tried it before putting it on the ribs which was a wise thing to do because I found it too sweet and nothing like the sauce they use for the Rustlers ribs burger which is smoky and sweet.
Anyway, apart from the sauce being too sweet, the riblets were pretty decent and came off the bone nicely.
The meat texture was soft and springy so not bad for £2.50 considering the supermarket ones cost at least £3-4.
Well done Rustlers but then it could probably be supplied by the same people who supply the supermarket ones.
Will be trying the wings soon.
