M&S Hot Cross Bun BLT

Savoury hot cross buns have been around for years like cheese and chilli, tomato and cheese etc and recently the Marmite hot cross bun.

However, the hot cross bun BLT is probably the first in the grab and go section at M&S Food.

Filling a savoury hot cross bun with a savoury filling is obviously a no brainer and obviously cannot go wrong.

So think of it as a bun with a hot cross bun texture and a cross on top.

To summarize, the Hot Cross bun BLT was really tasty and satisfying because of the sun dried tomatoes which have a good umami kick to it along with the smoky bacon, mayo and lettuce.

Bakewell Tart chocolate pizza by The Gourmet chocolate pizza co

I have always been a fan of The Gourmet chocolate pizza co after seeing their booth last year showcasing cute mini chocolate pizzas.

Bakewell Tart is a British favourite and mine too as I love cherry bakewell anything.

Definitely fit for the King's Coronation in May with the blue sleeve and Union Jack bunting.

I am so glad it was a seven inch size chocolate because it was that good!

The taste that you got was Cherry bakewell so I am sold, not only the taste you have this lingering moreish aftertaste as well like Mr Kiplings.

As well as the flavour being spot on, their chocolate was dreamy so you can imagine a silky Galaxy infused Cherry bakewell and then you get slivers of crisp flaked almonds and dried cherries which take you to Cherry bakewell chocolate heaven.

I am so glad they nailed it because there have been many Cherry Bakewell inspired failures that didn't hit the spot.

Visually, I felt that it would be good if there was less white chocolate curls so that you can see the almond flakes to give it more of that bakewell tart appearance.

Apollo Noodles Bowl - Chicken Flavour (85g)

Apollo Instant noodles from Mauritius!
Again another decent instant noodle brand.
These had a good texture just like the cooked version by putting it in the microwave for 1 minutes.
Definitely a great choice for that cooked texture and taste so why would I need to buy an Asian brand again when there are so many choices from all over the world to try.

Lidl 2023 Valentines Treat review

Valentine's and other festive days are always exciting because there are so many creative food treats on offer.

This year, the Valentine's range at Lidl is quite impressive with heart shaped gnocchi, red velvet souffle desserts, heart shaped ravioli, pizza, red velvet muffins and nuggets and some familiar faces are back like the Leone rose cones.

To summarize, the gnocchi hearts are rather starchy and have a strong potato taste.

The hearts ravioli is tasteless compared to M&S so it really relies on the sauce.

Last but not least was the inedible red velvet muffin which was like rubbery foam.

uda longevity drink

Could this drink be the secret to Longevity!
I hope so and I like the concept!
All the ingredients look good but I am not sure about the Caffeine which would make it can energy drink.

I happened to pass by their popup in Shoreditch so managed to get a sample.

Finally tried it one afternoon so reviewed this purely from the taste and not its long term effects.

First you get this medicinal energy aroma but the taste isn't bad.

Overall, I didn't like the sweeteners because there was an after taste.

Vitamin D by Zooki

To be honest, I don't normally take flavoured vitamins because you they contain extra sugars and flavourings.
Recently tried the berry flavoured Vitamin D by Zooki which tasted seriously nice.
The taste is like forest fruits fromage frais and the sweetness was just right without any artificial aftertaste.
I was expecting it to be like a gel and opaque but the colour and consistency was nice.
In terms of dosage, it is higher than my regular vitamin D by three times.
But in a way, it works out about right because you might not be getting every drop out of it due to the pouch compared to tablets.
Overall, I have only tried one sachet but will see how I get along but so far I am impressed by the taste alone.

Vital Proteins Marine Collagen

Lets see if it works better than consuming food with natural collagen eg beef tendons.
The taste mixed with water is quite pleasant.
Would be interesting to see if it thickens when it cools down.
