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.
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.
