New Bakery!!! Mrs Bakery 包租婆 in Chinatown

Mrs bakery, a new Asian bakery in town which is quite different from the rest in Chinatown.
It has modern decor and arrangement like Japanese bakeries with a drinks counter at the back offering creative coffees and unusual beverages etc.

The bakeries are reasonably priced and packaged well.
I was captivated by the egg tart and ended up getting a drink and a couple of more items.
Here was what I had.
Egg Tart, Taro salted egg drum, pandan rice bun and the pistachio coconut water.

Egg Tart:
The egg tart was more like a Portuguese tart with an egg flan type filling that was not too sweet with lovely crisp pastry layers.

Pandan Rice Bread:
Dinky little pandan rice bread but it was nice.
Lovely pandan aroma, again not too sweet with a nice chew to the bread texture.
Reminds me of Ryoyupan in Japan which specializes in rice bakery.

Taro salted egg drum:

Another nice bun with a soft texture filled with salted egg.
I was expecting the filling to be taro and salted egg mixed together but they were separate.
There was more yellow in ratio the the mauve taro filling which tasted a bit bitter but overall nice as it was not too sweet or salty.

Pistachio and coconut water:
Finished with the drink which was seriously good.
It was just plain coconut water topped with pistachio foam which was bliss and hydrating.
Overall, I was really impressed mainly because nothing was too sweet but found some funny spelling like slated which I think they mean salted.

Will return for other stuff and the rice latte.

New mac and cheese, soups, ramen by Noodlehead

As a fan of Noodlehead, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the mac and cheese which I did today at Tescos.
Sadly I couldn't get my hands on the congee as the two stores I went did not stock it but the range was quite impressive from Tom Yum soup to Laksa noodles.
I got round to trying the oozy cheese however while I was taking my usual food photographs, I found some green stuff inside the pouch before I even opened it.
Batch number: L1DC 41440302

Since it was going to be microwaved, I had to open the bag and confirmed it was clear green plastic which had to be taken out or it may melt along with the macaroni which isn't quite edible.
Apart from the foreign plastic, it was really delicious yet strangely spicy.
I can't wait to get my hands on the congee as I was expecting more Indian inspired noods in the range.
The ramen heads look quite good as the broth is separate from the noodles so you can cook the noodles in a different way and drink the broth.
Overall, the name is quite quirky and gets your attention like soup head, ramen head, pasta head etc.

Zott monte milk dessert with chocolate and hazelnut

I wasn't expecting a white dessert but it turns out there is a layer of chocolate hazelnut on the bottom.
Overall not too sweet and it was delicious.
The texture was a bit like a thick emulsion.

Harrods Valentines Rhubarb rice pudding and rhubarb croissant

Impressive Valentines and Rhubarb range at Harrods.
Spotted so many rhubarb items like rhubarb rice pudding, rhubarb croissants featuring cross-lamination dough and rhubarb vanilla flower so got the rice pudding and croissant to try.
Basically the croissant which looked more like a bun had a lovely crispy top owing to the lamination and inside it was well filled while the rhubarb jam was lovely and tart a bit like rhubarb curd.
You get a butter cutting through a little on the croissant pastry.
Next the Rhubarb rice pudding was a delight to the eyes with that crisp pink rhubarb neatly trimmed to fit the glass ramekin with luscious sweet rice pudding beneath it!

Jingold red flesh kiwis from Tescos

After trying the heavenly red passion variety kiwis from M&S, I decided to try these exotic red dong hong variety from Tesco.
Visually they are nothing like the red passion.
The skin is brown green like a regular kiwi unlike the bright green ones of M&S.
Inside, it was barely red with just a shy pink to be seen.
The taste was sweet but you still had that weird taste from the seeds.
It felt like a red flesh kiwi wannabe with dominate green kiwi genes like an unsuccessful genetic mutation.
I'm lucky I didn't try this first.

Godiva Dubai Chocolate Crispy Kadayif Chocolate Tablet

Every chocolate maker is on the Dubai Chocolate bandwagon and the latest is Lindt and Godiva.Godiva is more accessible as a Londoner but Lindt specific stores are limited to bluewater, bicester etc.
Anyway got my hands on the Godiva Crispy Kadayif Chocolate Tablet one thanks to @squarecrumpets
Not my first Dubai chocolate but I felt that this one contained more chunky crystallized pistachio in ratio to the crispy kunafa strands.
Overall quite sweet.
Interestingly Cadburys have not followed yet but they have done Asian flavours like durian and pandan!!
