New itsu Crystal' Noodles

When I spotted these new itsu Crystal noodles at Sainsburys I knew I would like them.

They are different to the ones served at ITSU because these are soupless which are right up my alley.

Available in two flavours: Sesame glaze and Soy glaze.

Fearing the Soy Glaze might be sweet I got the sesame glaze.

The noodles come in a lovely pot with a well designed bit to drain the water off.

Overall, the sesame glaze crystals were delicious as expected as the sauce was really tasty and complex with mirin wine and all that.

The sesame flavouring had a nice savoury kick and it was very different to the Sesame sauces in Asia which are too creamy, oily and sickly.

The only thing I didn't like was the black pepper which was too strong and had this burning sensation at the end.

Also tried the sweet soy glaze but it wasn't as nice as the sesame glaze.

The sweet soy glaze was sweet as expected and a little bit salty like marmite but they were visually pretty like glistening gold strands of crystal noodles.

Burts Popcorn Sweet and Salty

I felt that Burts popcorn was not heavily flavoured like other brands eg Butterkist.

Both sweet and salty flavours were light.

Biscuit fromage frais: Piatnica Serek homogenizowany ciasteczkowy

I knew I was going to like this because who doesn't love biscuits.
It was seriously comforting and delicious fromage frais style biscuit flavoured yoghurt.
Imagine a rich thick smooth creamy yoghurt that tastes like Rich Tea biscuits.
That was how it was.

Zott semolina smakija kaszka

Spotted these semolina pots at in the chilled section of my local Polish shop so I thought I'd give it a try because you can only get the canned ones at the supermarkets.
The semolina is relatively fresh compared to tinned versions.
It was creamy and not as sweet as the canned ones.

Naked ruby / Green and blue machine smoothie

Both the green and red were very sweet tasting smoothies.

Blue turned out to be my favourite.

Nissin Cup Noodle Wok style yakitori chicken

The taste of these noodles were interesting.
I was expecting sweet flavours but you get this weird burnt/charcoal like taste and aroma from the sauce.
It was similar to this McD SiuMei seasoning for the shake shake fries which has this burnt plastic smell and taste.
