Suntory Gokuri Banana‏

I am not a fan of banana because it tastes artificial especially in drinks and foods if essense is used.

Came accross this banana drink from Suntory which a nice and bright simple design!
Other flavours in this line are pineapple and grapefruit.

The taste of this drink was fake as expected and it was fizzy which I was least expecting.

FOX's glacier fruit sweets - strawberry flavour


Fox's glacier sweets are a British brand, but somehow the one I have here is an Indonesian version which is wrapped differently probably due to their hot climate.
In UK they are wrapped in wrappers with the two ends twisted, but the Indonesian version is seal.

The shape of the sweet is also different.

Calbee Curry flavoured potato chips

Evidently theses are crisps but I don't know why they are called CHIPS in Hong Kong!


Anyway, I found that Hong Kong crisps are harder than the UK ones.

These crisps were rather spicy with strong sage herbs but lacked curry taste.

Knorr chili liquid seasoning

I knew this was spicy, but I didnt know it was that spicy!

Borlands AUSTRALIA Macadamia nut and choc chip butter shortbread

Tasted just like a buttery cookie with chocolate and nut pieces.
It seems that shortbreads are popular in Auz and NZ and they have lots of flavours too such as kiwifruit shortbread.

Angel Fruity mooncakes 安琪水果月饼 Pineapple


The Angel Fruity mooncakes 安琪水果月饼 are filled with dense fruit filling which is really nice because I do not like lotus paste or mung bean paste.
There are three flavors: Melon, Pineapple and Strawberry.

I tried the melon which tasted really similar to the Taiwanese Pineapple cake but much better because I do not like the buttery pastry of the Taiwanese version.

The sweetness was just right and not cloyingly sweet.
Although the filling was nice, the texture was rather dense and sticky and I still have my reservations for eating products from China because they could be synthetic!
