NEW Bliss Bakewell Whip Bars reviewed

[Self paid] 
I keep seeing these Bliss bars everwhere made of nougat coated in chocolate.
There are so many flavours, mainly covered in white chocolate or dark chocolate.
Somehow, I just don't get round to buying them because they come in packs of 5.
As a foodie, anything more than 2 is too much as there are so many things to try.
Finally fell for the cherry bakewell flavour only because of the cherry!
The cherry bakewell nougat in the middle was lovely and chewy and you really get that strong cherry flavouring that is not artificial.
There are some crispy bits in the middle.
Overall, they are not bad but it would have worked even better with a dark chocolate coating or yoghurt coating.

Rose, Almond & Pistachio Cake from Cake Stories

Cake Stories are a UK based in Newcastle online cake delivery service dishing up great cakes for everyone.
Their mission is that any vegan or gluten free Cake Stories bake should be so good you can't tell.
I discovered Cake Stories at the Caffe Culture show and tried their Pistachio cake which was heaven.

The pistachio cake described as a gluten-free almond & pistachio sponge, lightly flavoured with rose water, topped with rose and pistachio buttercream and beautiful edible dried rose petals. 

It was literally an amazing bake because the pistachio flavours were bold and you can really taste it.

The sweetness was just right and the pistachio buttercream was not too heavy.

Also tried their brownios which look like filled cookies with two layers  of brownie shell with buttercream in the middle.

The raspberry chocolate one was simply rich and lush with a lovely raspberry twist to it.

OREO Twists Lab popup/pop up

Oreos were doing a pop up at Old Compton Road featuring their new Oreo twists at the Oreo Twists Lab so I went along to try their new oreos.
As well as free Oreos up for grabs they had customization booths to get your personalized merch like Tshirts, water bottles etc.

After trying the vanilla caramel and vanilla raspberry, I felt that the vanilla caramel tasted much better while the vanilla raspberry was a little sweet for my liking.

The original oreo is basically like a rich cocoa biscuit or bourbon with vanilla cream in the middle.

Fresh Yellow Barhi Dates

Not often you see fresh yellow dates so a really good reason to try them.

Just like the dried version they are physically hard.

The fresh ones taste much better because they are not syrupy like the dried ones.

They were crisp and sweet but don't the skin is super astringent.

Ambrosia Light rice pudding

As I am too lazy to cook rice pudding, I resorted to buying some ready to eat ones.

I was actually looking for some sugar free ones which led me to this because I wanted to add some other stuff to it like chocolate or pandan.

The Ambrosia light version comes in the pots and tins so I got the pot as the tinned version might have a weird tin taste to it.

The light version does not contain as much sugar but it still sweet so it was dreamy and it is not as heavy as the regular version so you can appreciate the taste of the rice as well.

Batchelors Cup a soup - New Thai chicken & lemongrass

I didn't expect myself to like this but it wasn't bad and the lemongrass wasn't too over powering.

The chicken taste in the soup was quite comforting.

Hausa Koko millet porridge by Delight Foods

Spotted this at my local so had to give it a try as it was millet porridge which is quite different to your usual oats and rice.

I loved the fermented sourness just like injera but it was too spicy as there was chilli, cloves, ginger and all that.
