Ube lava creme brulee milk at ko3 bubble tea

Another bubble tea joint in Croydon.
I got the instaworthy Ube Lava Creme Brulee milk which is purple contrasted by the eggy creme brulee at the bottom.
Overall, a lovely drink.
Oat and soya milk options available.
Located at JRC Buffet Croydon and available on deliveroo.
Thanks for the invite.

Sainsburys Mince pie pudding (sponge)

Again, I felt that this was another sponge pudding reinvented.
It reminded me of a spotted dick with the dried fruit components on top with extra spices and other Mince Pie filling ingredients.
Sponge pudding lovers will definitely like this as you have that Christmassy element to it without the richness of a proper Christmas pudding.
Compared to the one @another_snack_reviewer had, the mince pie topping looked generous on mine and perhaps a bit too much.
The mince pie topping was loaded with so much candied fruit peel, raisins and apple so you really do get a mouthful.
Overall, it is certainly worth trying if you like sponge puddings and mince pies.

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.
