Fruit review: Kiwano / Horned Melon

Finally tried this African fruit called Kiwano / Horned Melon which I've seen around but reluctant to try because it has so many seeds like a Passionfruit.

As expected, it was just full of seeds and very time consuming to eat.

It's a bit like pomegranate but the texture is slimey and a bit like jelly and it has a nice Kryptonite glow to it.

The taste is probably bland for some but I could taste hints of cucumber, melon and bit of umami like tomato so I really liked it.

Red sesame heart bagel from Bagel Factory

I love romantic hearts so got the red sesame heart bagel from Bagel Factory.

Probably best with nutella and strawberries just like the way they serve it.

Aldi dairyfine white chocolate strawberry sundae

A solid chocolate sundae for Easter which is out every Easter.
Finally tried it for fun.
Definitely for white chocolate and strawberry lovers.

Indian Maaza coconut water

Only got this because there was no sugar.
Had a nice savoury taste but you could also taste the coconut meat.

Lidl Vitasia Golden Milk Turmeric Latte Ice Cream 250ml

The Turmeric latte ice cream looked interesting so I thought I'd it give it ago.
Beetroot and Turmeric lattes are the trend these days at coffee shops but unusual as an ice cream.

The 250ml size was a winner as who wants 500ml because if it is not nice you have to throw it away and even if it is nice you get bored half way through as there are too many things to try as a foodie.

On the label, it says Indian style which I find very different to the Indian ice creams like kulfi and flavours like rose etc.

Looking at the ingredients, it didn't have rose so it was safe to try.

With most ice creams which are hard when straight out the freezer, this one was ready to eat and soft.

The taste was surprisingly pleasing and not artificial with a warm fiery kick at the end while the turmeric wasn't that strong but you could taste a hint of cinnamon.

There were chunky pieces of almond here and there to give it some nice crunch.

Overall, I am glad I tried this as the spices are not full on and the sweetness was to my liking.

Lidl Vitasia drink with lychee

I had no expectations for this drink but got it because of lychee.
It turned out to be really syrupy and the taste was weird because it wasn't the usual juice combo, it also had guava, apple, grapes, blackcurrant and coconut water which is like exotic fruits and European fruits.

I could taste the lychee but then you have the weird syrupy guava and apples which just tastes funny.

Moma jumbo oat coconut and chia.

 The coconut was too strong for my liking.
