Sainsburys seasoned chicken drumsticks

I have always wanted to try the hot fresh chicken at Sainsburys because they always smell nice when you go past.
On this visit, they looked moist so I gave them a go.

As expected they were really tasty and not too salty with a nice herb and spices flavouring that is not spicy.

Will definitely try their jerk chicken one day.

These crisps had a seriously strong beefy smell and taste which lingered in the room!!!

PROPER x KFC popcorn chicken popcorn review and pop up at Ely's Yard

I have been trying to get my hands on the new PROPER x KFC popcorn chicken popcorn since it came out but never saw them at Sainsburys or Coop at the ones near me.

Anyway, PROPER x KFC had a pop up at Ely's Yard so I managed to go along and have some fun while bagging myself a bag of the new KFC popcorn.

It's not the first time I've had savoury popcorn.

By that I mean flavours like spring onion, seaweed, cheese etc so I was really excited about the Proper x KFC collab chicken flavoured popcorn.

Before trying it, I was inspired that I got some plain popcorn and added some Aussie chicken salt which resulted in some tasty results.

Now, the real deal.

You can taste and smell a light chickeny flavour which I felt needed to be stronger and a pinch of salt would be good to bring out the flavours.

Overall, this is definitely worth trying.

7DAYS Super Max Vanilla cream croissant!

7DAYS Super Max Vanilla cream croissant!
Basically, this is the usual long life croissants which have an alcoholic taste.
It is filled with vanilla cream so if you warm it in the microwave for 16 seconds you get this gooey runny sauce in the filling which tastes like sweetened condensed milk.

Babybel Light cheese, apple & grapes

Got this box of Babybel Light cheese, apple & grapes for fun as I was feeling peckish.

Obviously the cheese was the best part and the apple and grapes were there so that you didn't feel so guilty snacking out.

Butterkist hazelnut popcorn

Finally got my hands on these Butterkist crunchy hazelnut chocolate flavour toffee popcorn.

Coop were meant to be the first to stock them but in the end it was good old ASDA that had them.

When you open the bag, there is a light hazelnut smell but it isn't very prominent in taste because the sweetness of the toffee is more overpowering.

It would be nice if the popcorn had some crushed hazelnut pieces on it which would take it to the next level.

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.
