Marks and Spencers Farmhouse pate

Mark and Spencers pate is always good.
The farmhouse pate is smooth with a hint of madeira.
The tub is fairly big and the pate is filled to the rim.
However it is difficult to spread, especially if you are using the local bread which deflates like a sponge without rigidity.
There is also duck and orange pate which is nice too, it has a layer of orange jelly on top.

Japanese rice burgers @ 7-11

This is really tempting to try, a choice of either chicken or beef patty burger sandwiched in between some rice! (Rice burger).

















Anyway, I tried both. It was interesting because the rice used was glutinous rice and not pearl rice.
I do not like pearl rice anyway.
Althought it is Japanese, it is manufactured in Thailand!!!

Grilled Chicken rice burger:
I prefer chicken as opposed to beef because there are less fatty bits and tendons in it.
If your expecting a strong taste, this burger is quite bland, but as I like chicken it was really nice and the whote thing was not too dry.
The rice burger was really nice because it was chewy al-dente glutinous rice which is rare for Japanese food.

Spicy pork rice burger:
There was visually quite alot of chopped coriander in it but the taste of coriander was not that strong, but the spicyness was quite strong.

Egg Tofu

I am not a fan of egg tofu because it has a slightly sweet taste and it tastes of egg more than natural tofu.
The egg tofu is always packed in plastic pouches which I never knew why until I wiki'd it.

Anyway, this particular one I bought was made in Chinese and it did not taste really nice, although it did not have that sweet taste, it was quite salty and tasted really artificial.
It just tasted like a disgusting version of Japanese steamed egg or savoury egg caramel pudding.

Definition of Egg Tofu by wikipedia:
Egg tofu (Japanese: 玉子豆腐, 卵豆腐, tamagodōfu) (Chinese: 蛋豆腐, dàn dòufu; often called 日本豆腐, rìbĕn dòufu, lit. "Japan bean curd") is the main type of savory flavored tofu. Whole beaten eggs are filtered and incorporated into the soy milk before the coagulant is added. The mixture is filled into plastic tubes and allowed to curdle. The tofu is then cooked in its packaging and sold. Egg tofu has a pale golden color that can be attributed to the addition of egg and, occasionally, food coloring. This tofu has a fuller texture and flavor than silken tofu, which can be attributed to the presence of egg fat and protein.

McDonalds: Singapore

McDonalds in Singapore

I was quite surprised they offer Jasmine tea as one of their beverages, and since Singapore is quite multicultural chicken is quite a popular item there.
Even for breakfast they have crispy chicken with eggs!
I have tried cinammon melts before which are delicious and here they have blueberry melts as well!

Western Beef McWrap - fresh strips of beef instead of burger patty.

This egg wrap seems interesting because it has ham and arugula lettuce
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I like the design for these milkshakes, but I wonder if the real thing looks similar to the product shot.
Milkshake flavours: chocolate, blackcurrant, strawberry and vanilla

Super sweet heart shaped donut and the ring shaped donut sprinkled with kit kats!

Jogurt s ovocem a bebe
Yoghurt with these cute chocolate wheat biscuits! But I wonder if it is for kids or babies, because in Czech there seems to be the word Bebe which means babies.
