Tropical Sun Jamaican Ackee

As mentioned before, ackee is creamy and delicious just like avocado and it also tastes like sea urchin (uni).
Delicious on toast, however it had a slight bitterness which was gone when paired with toast.
Additionally, you can add some pepper or some sauce to enhance the flavour, but I felt that it was flavourful already and I wanted to appreciate the taste of natural ackee.










isey skyr stracciatella

isey is a brand that I always see at Marks and Spencer but never tried.
I got to try it at an Iceland immersive event in Soho.
The stracciatella was delicious sweet, thick and creamy skyr with chocolatey bits.
Definitely a dreamy Icelandic treat.

Pot Noodle Christmas Dinner review

On a recent visit to ASDA, I was so excited to see the Christmas Dinner pot noodle which comes in a three pack in a Christmas Cracker!
It costs 6 quid so that's what you have to pay if you want to try it and hopefully they don't sell them individually later.
As a pot noodle fan, I had to get it.
Visually, the pot is really nice as you have the Santa Claus look and I like the way they have used the French word Noel for Christmas which tricks your eyes in seeing noodles.
I thought there was going to be cranberry sauce but there is no sauce at all.
It was definitely very herby and it was really strong especially the thyme and rosemary which gives it a really bitter taste.
However I didn't find many peas as the labelling suggested.
Overall worth trying but these Christmas dinner noodles are not seemingly new because they came out in 2010 sold individually for 1.10

Lee Kum Kee debuts some new noodle kits [Gifted]

Definitely loving the new noodle kits from Lee Kum Kee!
Not only they rule the world with their sauces but now there are noodles.
I love these simple noodle but restaurant quality noodle kits which are easy to execute!
The abalone noodle kits was definitely a winner as there is a pouch with abalone and conpoy inside paired with Taiwanese Guanmao sliced noodles that have a nice frilly edge and hangs the rich abalone sauce well.
The tomato is definitely a great pick me up anytime which is appetizing and moreish with the spicy kick.

M&S Food Wriggling Worms

I am so glad that it is Halloween again because I couldn't get my hands on these wriggling worms last year.
Basically, they are these super slim pork sausages which are even slimmer than your regular chipolatas so I really had to get them because you get a different ratio of casing to sausage meat which will give you a different taste.
They cook quicker as well due to the thickness.
As expected, I really enjoyed them on their own without any sauce because they just taste like chipolatas, and they were not overly seasoned or too salty which gives it room for the BBQ Glaze provided.
Not only were they tasty, but they also didn't contain any chewy or fatty bits, so I ate all those sausages in one go.

Bebeto fruit snacks and strawberry twists

I was given these sweets labelled as fruit snacks a while ago but put them aside and forgot about them.
My memory was jogged when I saw fellow foodies post the Halloween ones which made me dig them out and try them.
Inside, there are two flavours: strawberry and banana.
The banana flavour was interesting because normally banana flavours are sweet but it was fruity infused with banana and has that usual gummy sweets taste with a tanginess.
The strawberry was how you would expect it to taste.



Also tried the vegan strawberry twists.
The flavour was nice but the aftertaste was a bit weird with some bitterness.
I preferred the bebeto gummies as the texture was better and there was no weird aftertaste.
It is interesting that the strawberry twists contains radish,  pumpkin and potato concentrates.

Hermes magazine kiosk, Soho square London

The Herme magazine kiosk is showcasing their latest issue of Le Monde d’Hermès magazine where you can grab a free copy.
There was free refreshments and free rides on a peddle-powered rickshaw.
The cookies from the beverage stall tasted amazing, it was chewy with these beautiful layers of chocolate.
