Frost bites cafe Latte [freeze dried snacks] bought at £3.99

Spotted these and had to try them; they have other options like ice cream and fruit, but I opted for the latte since I'd already tried freeze dried ice cream.
The texture was similar to freeze-dried ice cream, and while it was nice, the taste was akin to coffee creamer powder with a bitter coffee flavor.
Despite this, the concept works, and I'd love to see other flavors like Earl Grey tea, Thai milk tea, or matcha. The packaging claims they're viral on social media, but I couldn't find much about them.
At £3.99, they were on the pricier side considering the content.

Aldi vive marshmallow edition drink

Bought at 39p.
Obviously this is for sharing at that size but I bought it on the go so didn't or expect to finish it.
You can't even buy a cheaper grab and go drink for that price.
Anyway, it was quite nice and it was more on the sour side from the acids.
Quite different to what I expected for a marshmallow flavour unlike the rhubarb custard soda which was really sweet.

Plant pioneers spicy shawarma jackfruit

Tasted like Indian curry, heavily spiced and fiery.
Texture was like bamboo shoots.
Bought a few years ago and forgot about it.

Tesco Swedish style meatballs and mash

Loved the generous amount of gravy.
Just as nice as Ikea but the meatballs are firmer and the gravy was very salty with a black pepper kick.
Overall delicious when you have the peas, mash, gravy and meatballs in your mouth.

Nestle Aero coconut

WOW. Probably my new favourite aero.
Tastes and smells just like bounty without the annoying coconut bits.

KOKA Multigrain baked noodles with purple corn

I love Koka purple noodles which I came across in 2012 from Asian Supermarkets.

Now its 2025 and they have evidently been successful as the range and offerings is much bigger now.

KOKA is a famous brand from Singapore.

Back then, they were labelled as purple wheat noodles and now they are called Multigrain baked noodles with purple corn.

The packaging is a little different and they now have cup versions as well.

I felt that the cup versions were better in a way because you get seaweed and lots of tofu pieces in the mala flavour.

To summarize, the instant noodles were all good especially the chilli and lime and for the spicy flavours like Mala Stir fry, expect a super spicy flavour.

As well as the purple noodles, the multigrain with oats and barley was also top notch as the flavourings tasted natural.

Last but not least, the Broad and bouncy noodle range was also to my liking as the texture was perfectly soft with a good chew to it so I believe the other flavours are going to be good.

In terms of nutrition, these noodles are higher in wholegrains, baked not fried, natrual and low in fat.

You can finally get them in UK now and I can see them doing well at Whole Foods and Holland Barratt while the spicy Asian flavours would sell well at TianTian and Longdan and StarryMart.

[Fruit] Milk Apple / Star Apple

This isn't my first time but didn't have photos of it so decided to have it again.
They are either green or purple like aubergine.
Inside, it was soft and viscous tasting like caramel.
The texture is bit like mushy persimmon.
In Vietnam they snigger about this fruit as it is often referred to as a booby fruit.
