Sainsburys sticky toffee trifle review!

To be honest, it was hard deciding which trifle to get because there was sticky toffee and black forest by Sainsbury's.
In the end I got the sticky toffee because it had toffee custard and toffee mousse.
Overall, it was a really nice trifle especially the toffee custard at the bottom.
The toffee mousse was also good and the trifle was not too sweet as a whole.
Best shared because it can get a bit too sickly if you have too much.

M&S rich and creamy savoury custard tarts reviewed 2022

I wasn't sure what to expect of these new rich and creamy savoury custard tarts which are described as a savoury version of the Pastel de nata.
Some Pastel de nata fillings can be like a thick creme so I wasn't sure how the cheesy custard texture was going to turn out.

After baking them instructed, the texture was nothing like the custard you normally see.

You can think of them like eating a cheesy quiche without the short crust exchanged with a light puff pastry tart base.

Merfs hot sauces

I love Merfs hot sauces which I came accross when Merfs condiments exhibited in London.

Merfs creator mama Merf is so cute and her sauces all have character.

My favourite had to be peaches and scream and her other combos are creative and punchy.

The cranberries and whiskey is definitely the best during Christmas with festive food.

Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese Patisserie Selection review

I have always wanted to try some German cakes so ended up getting the Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese Patisserie Selection.
To me, I feel that German cakes and English cakes are similar yet different.
The German cakes consist of a really soft fluffy sponge like the Swiss Roll and all their cakes revolve around this Swiss Roll sponge texture and lots of cream.
To summarize, I felt that al the cakes this selection was similar but in different ways because of the toppings or sauces.
Lots and lots of cream was involved so if you don't like cream then this isn't for you.

Overall, they are not bad and not too sweet.

The marzipan gateau slice, strawberry cream slice, cherry chocolate cream slice, almond cream cake and cherry cream slice were my favourites.
This would be a treat if you were in a country deprived of proper cream cakes (not UK of course but some pathetic countries in Asia just don't know how to appreciate dairy products and serve shit).

Other cakes and gateau by Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese discovered at Poundland.

Plant based vegan Babybel

I have always wanted to try this but couldn't get hold of it until now.
Interestingly, it smells like cheese and it was quite similar to Philadelphia cheese spread but the texture is firm and the taste was mild and creamy.
Despite being made with coconut oil, I was pleased there was no coconut oil smell or taste present.

Splendid Selection White chocolate hazelnut

I am not a fan of white chocolate but I do love hazelnuts and coconut.
So when I saw these hazelnuts coated in white chocolate and coconut I thought I'd give them ago.
To my surprise, they were moreish and they are actually whole roasted hazelnuts.
The hazelnuts are definitely quality ones as they have this nice crunch and a great roasted flavour.
The white chocolate coating is not too sweet and does not mask the coconut dusting.
Interestingly, they taste a bit like pandan.

Belle & Co alcohol free sparkling review

I love alcohol free drinks which tend to be not as sweet as fizzy drinks while being stylish!
Belle & Co looked appealing so I thought I'd get some and have it over Christmas but one day I was really thirsty from some burgers so ending up opening it.

The properties of the drink was so much like champagne, you have that pop when you remove the cork and then you have this fog that comes out like  the real thing.

If I had known it would do that I would have filmed it.

Anyway, the drink is super fizzy and stays fizzy for a long time after opening.

Overall, it was really refreshing and tasted like appletize.
