Iceland Trifle gateau bar

The gateau bar is one of my favourite frozen cakes, it consists of layers of sponge and cream.

Last year, ASDA started selling their branded version which I had for my birthday and it was so delicious that I now have to try the Iceland version.

Visually, it looks just the same as the ASDA one so probably from the same manufacturer.

I felt that the taste was just as good if not better because the strawberry sauce was more punchy compared to ASDA.

The sponge layers were better it was like eating a Swiss roll without sugar, layered with cream and strawberry sauce.

The Iceland box looks better in my opinion as well being baby blue.

Will definitely buying this again because it is so moreish.

Great sweet and savoury popcorn from popcorn kitchen

Popcorn kitchen is everywhere and you will definitely remember them if you have seen that huge bottle filled with popcorn.
They do so many sweet and savoury flavours.

So far I have only tried the savoury cheese which was really good because it was seriously cheesy like wotsits.

For the sweet flavours, I had chocolate brownie and mint chocolate.

The chocolate brownie was a surprise because it had that proper resemblance like you were eating a brownie.

As for the mint chocolate, the mint was not too overpowering.

 

Tesco finest pork sausage ragu with conchiglie pasta

Pasta bars are popular these days so it is encouraging to see the pasta options increasing and improving at the supermarkets from ready meals to pasta kits like Rana, Jamie Oliver and Pasta Evangelists.
What caught my eye was the Tesco finest pork sausage with conchiglie pasta.

The highlight of this ready pasta meal had to be the huge conchiglie pasta and the pork sausage ragu which is a popular pasta dish at popular pasta places like Padella, Flour and Grape etc.

Compared to restaurant sausage ragu, the mince is much finer but the taste was spot on with strong fennel herbs. 

The big conchiglie pasta looks the part like it came from the restaurants so I will definitely be buying this again!

To take it to the next level, I garnished it with some feta which made it taste even better.

sun chlorella powder

Chlorella powder is really tasty just like seaweed but then it is a seaweed.
I should have tried earlier this sun chlorella because I was put off by the taste of spirulina which is nasty but this is totally different.

PG Tips tea

PG Tips are everywhere, although inexpensive, I really like it because the tea is strong and fresh without bitterness.

They now have plant based tea bags as well.

Phyco Health Seaweed Science phukka

Dukkah tastes amazing but seaweed dukkah is even better, it contains lovely pistachio nuts and cumin which really takes it to another level along with the umami of the seaweed.

Applying the phukka on some melted cheese muffins was amazing inspired by cheesy zaatar bread in London.

I feel that phukka is much nicer than zaatar because it does not contain oregano and thyme which can be too aromatic.

Will definitely be using this a lot to season things.

Akina Pineapple Tea and Lemon tea from Empire Kenya

I was really glad I got my hands on some teas from Empire Kenya at the IFE show because they turned out really nice especially the pineapple tea.

Somehow, I had a feeling they would be good and they did not disappoint because the pineapple taste is natrual and blends well with the black tea.

The lemon was ok but pineapple was better.

The one flavour I would really want to get hold of is the almond chocolate and Jasmine apricot which is listed on their website.
