M&S The roast beef bun

The roast beef bun looks fantastic, roast rare beef, burger sauce, pickles, yum.
SOLD.
As expected this roast beef bun was delicious.
Think of a healthy beef burger with roast beef slices and fresh gem lettuce, tart pickles and punchy burger sauce.








Krispy Kreme Trifle doughnut

Surprisingly nice.
Well filled and the doughnut was good unlike some days when the doughnuts are not fluffy.





Tesco summer edition Chinese style char siu pulled pork

Too sweet and the anise was strong.











Nissin Wok style Japanese curry

 The usual sweet taste





itsu noodle soup- gyozas and greens

Convenient gyoza noodles but the noodles were too soft before the water was added.
Overall not bad.









ASDA Pistachio Croissants

Finally got my hands on these croissants and it was the last bag left at 9:50am in the morning which I consider too early in the day.
There are lots of lovely bakeries doing nice ones but I felt I had to try the ASDA version since this is the only supermarket pistachio croissant.
You would expect M&S or Waitrose to have them but they don't however Sainsburys do pistachio batons.
I bet they are all over supermarkets in Europe.
Visually, both croissants were puffed up beautifully garnished with pistachio nuts.
I can confirmed they were well filled as I devoured them both.
Overall very pleasing as it was not too sweet and it was a good quality pistachio creme because the gooey consistency is just like nutella and you get that dryness in your mouth like peanut butter.
The croissant itself was light, airy, pillowly and crispy on the outside while the butter isn't overwhelming that you can eat two in one go.
Definitely a bargain for two quid.
















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.
