Thai fruit shaped desserts called Luk Chup by House of Kanom

 These are agar coated fruit shaped desserts filled with silky mung bean paste.

Visually very nice and colourful especially the mangosteen.
They weren't bad, however I found them too sweet with a toilet type/incense/Indian Jasmine/Thai Jasmine aroma that is floral but in a nice way infused in the mung bean paste.
The texture of the agar jelly was like hard boiled egg white with a bit of resistance.
It was like eating a sweet hard boiled quail egg with the agar like the egg white and the starchy filling was similar to hard boiled yolk.
Overall ok but I don't have an Asian palette for sweet things.

Liquid IV available in strawberry or passionfruit

Reminded me of those hydration drinks like pocari sweat and diorite the stuff you drink when you are sick.


Aldi Hoops dupes reviewed

Visually they look and taste 90% like Hula Hoops but the texture is slightly different.
I found them crispier with a light wheaty/grainy texture. Some hoops had bubbles which you don't find in Hula Hoops. [pic 8]
In terms of taste, the flavours seem stronger than Hula Hoops for both flavours but interestingly the potato taste isn't as strong as Hula Hoops.
Overall, glad I got them and would definitely recommend.


Adez soy drink with rice

Only tried it because it was 50p for a huge 800ml bottle.
I didn't have any expectations because soy has a weird taste but it turned out quite pleasant as it is made with rice and the soy taste isn't that strong.
It was surprisingly thick and creamy.
I should imagine the others would be nice in the range like the oat milk and ultimate blend.









7the sense desserts

On my recent trip to Farmfoods, I spotted these pots which looked like pet food but they turn out to be desserts at two for a pound.
Intrigued by the design, I got some to try.
There was caramel or chocolate hazelnut to choose from with crispy balls on top inside the lid and a spoon included.
Interestingly, the label says no preservatives hence they can be stored at room temperature.
For both flavours, they were way too sweet even though it was really decadent and indulgent.
I felt that these desserts are better off as sweet dessert dips because they taste so good when you dip strawberries and biscuits in them.











McVities Rich Tea The Cocoa One

Well! Rich Tea biscuits have always been the same since they were invented until now.
Enter the Rich Tea Cocoa One which has a cocoa kick to it.
I finally got my hands of them from Tescos and they are seriously addictive, just like the regular Rich Tea biscuit, they have the same texture, crunch and taste but with a cocoa kick without being too sweet.
They taste great alone and even better dunked in tea.
I also tried dunking it in Black cocoa tea as well and milk cocoa tea which gave it an even stronger cocoa boost but overall regular tea or Earl Grey are the perfect partners in crime.

OOOOOut noooow Spudo Dunks which are tasty potato rings!
Even tastier with the shake shake seasonings.
My favourites have to be Prawn cocktail, Salt and Vinegar however the Southern Fried Chicken is really addictive too.
Thank you Spudos for sending these new rings to try!
