Philippine bulalo and Batchoy Nissan cup noodles

People who are familiar with Nissin cup noodles would know that regular cup noodles are about 75g.
The Philippine ones are mini which weigh 40g which make them good for snacks and you can try other flavours in one go!
There are so many flavours to choose from like Bulalo and Batchoy.
The Bulalo was really tasty as it had calamansi notes but the patis (fish sauce) was not that prominent.
Bulalo is a soup made with beef shanks and bone marrow until the collagen and fat has been melted into the clear broth. 




Also had the batchoy but all I could taste was garlic and a creamy buttery taste.









aah! Bisto for chicken with garden herbs

Bisto is my favourite gravy so when this new gravy for chicken came out I didn't hesitate to get it.
The design of this limited edition gravy looks like spring and Easter because it is yellow but this came out in June bought from ASDA.
I haven't tried the original Bisto chicken gravy but I was seriously satisfied with this as the herbs were so comforting especially the sage.
Again, I'm one of those weird ones who drinks it like soup and it was really chickeny in terms of taste and smell.
They would definitely go with some chipolata sausages not to mention the roast chicken!!
I have always been fascinated how they make the granules into these uniform sprinkle shapes!!

Walkers new Wotsit, Doritos and Monster Munch crisps

Walkers have been a bit boring lately so I am glad they have done something.
Basically, they have turned wotsits, doritos and Monster munch snacks into crisps!
I wanted to get dorito crisps but I don't like it spicy so got the Monster Munch first as I do like pickled flavours.
I was planning to try the wotsits crisps but I felt that it will taste similar to the SPUDOS cheese and onion ones because when I tried those, they reminded of crisp wotsits.
To be fair, you can't expect the new creations to be the same because potato crisps and maize snacks are different.
These don't melt in your mouth like maize/corn snacks and the doritos will have a strong maize taste that the crisps wont have.


Monster Munch CRISPS reviewed!!
These were nice in my opinion but I think I can see a love/hate brewing up because they are super acidic like a pickled onion straight from the jar so it depends if you like that.






Also available are wotsits and doritos style crisps @tescofood @walkers_crisps @tescoirl @aldispecialbuysuk

Chegworth Valley juices

Discovered Chegworth Valley juices because they had a booth somewhere.
The range they have is impressive especially the cherry juice.
As well as cherry they have apple and plum.
Sampled them all and they were very impressive.
The apple and beetroot somehow tasted like ribena while the apple rhubarb was nice and sweet.






Mama Jok Cup

I love instant congee so gave MAMA jok Cup a try.
The name of this is quite funny, literally phonetically name from the congee as JOK.
When you add hot water, you get congee in an instant.
It is a bit like ready brek but savoury but the texture of this is a bit sticky like glue.
Other than that, it was very tasty and the pieces of dehydrated ginger were prominent with heat.

Qin Zong Shaanxi Cold Noodles

Let's just say I got it for the sauces and threw the noodles away because they don't go soft.
Everything in this bag was WRONG and the sauces had to be binned!
The noodles from the start were not edible and no matter how long you cooked the, the texture was elastic and strange.
The weird sauce sachets, each and every one of them tasted strange.
The brine was the weirdest liquid but some how tasted like liquid MSG! As well as the brine, the vinegar sachet, chilli oil sachet didn't even taste normal.
I felt that The Ramen Rater probably did a better job with these noodles.







Brazilian Pamonha Salgado

Looking similar to a Tamale, it is made of sweet corn puree and wrapped in sweet corn husks.
It is available sweet or savoury but personally I prefer savoury.
Some recipes add to cheese to it which I can imagine tasting seriously good.
Overall, it tasted like blended sweet corn that was savoury.
Would have added some cheese if I had some.
