Indomie Pop Mie Rasa Soto Ayam instant cup noodles

I was surprised to find out from Wikipedia that Indomie is the world's largest instant noodle manufacturer located in Indonesia.
It is distributed in New Zealand and United States so it can't taste that bad.
The price of these cup noodles were dirt cheap! They cost about 20p (British currency) per cup however the portion is not that big.
I was impressed that the chili was in a separate sachet and there was no plastic odour/taste in the noodles.
As the noodles are thicker than other brands, I had to let it stand longer before eating.
The soup was quite viscous.
After I finished the noodles, the remaining soup was quite oily and slick, but then if you are health conscious you can leave out putting that sachet of oil seasoning in it.







Lindt Lindor chocolate balls

Got the assorted box which has four different flavours.
Milk white (gold), 60% cocoa (black), hazelnut (red) and Milk chocolate (Brown)
Overall, the filling inside was smooth and silky.
I liked the hazelnut and the 60% cocoa.
There are other flavours which I want to get such as truffle, mint, Stracciatella, peanut butter.

If you're craving a pancake and sausage breakfast, but just can't find the time, Dunkin' Donuts discovered a solution in 2011. An order of the chain's Sausage Pancake Bites offered diners three nuggets of flapjack dough that each enclosed a sausage link. A trio of nuggets also managed to enclose 20 grams of fat, more than most doughnuts.

Victoria mini classics by Mr Kipling

My favourite cakes, however they were slightly too hard and sweet, but after refrigerating them they tasted slightly better.



(source from Wiki)
The Victoria sponge cake was named after Queen Victoria, who favoured a slice of the sponge cake with her afternoon tea. It is often referred to simply as sponge cake, though it contains additional fat. A typical Victoria sponge consists of raspberry jam and whipped double cream or vanilla cream. The jam and cream are sandwiched between two sponge cakes; the top of the cake is not iced or decorated apart from a dusting of icing sugar. However the Women's Institute do not class this as a Victoria sponge. Their version only has raspberry jam as the filling and is dusted with caster sugar, not icing sugar.[10]
A Victoria sponge is made using one of two methods. The traditional method involves creaming caster sugar with fat (usually butter), mixing thoroughly with beaten egg, then folding flour and raising agent into the mixture. The modern method, using an electric mixer or food processor, involves simply whisking all the ingredients together until creamy.[7][9][8] Additionally, the modern method typically uses an extra raising agent, and some recipes call for an extra-soft butter or margarine.[citation needed] Both the traditional and modern methods are relatively quick and simple, producing consistent results, making this type of mixture one of the most popular for children and people in a hurry. This basic 'cake' mixture has been made into an endless variety of treats and puddings, including fairy cakes, butterfly cakes, chocolate cake, Eve's pudding and many others.[7][9][8]
Other names for the Victoria Sponge are Victoria Sandwich and, less commonly, Victorian Cake.
Although simple to make, Victoria sponge recipes are notoriously sensitive to cooking times and temperatures. As such, oven manufacturers often use a Victoria sponge recipe to test their ovens.

Nissin Prawn flavoured instant noodles



Found this flavour to be quite tasteless, and I felt it was weird they had dehydrated pork pieces with the prawn.

Quakers Oat So Simple raspberry and pomegranite





Mango & Passionfruit

A nice combination of fuschia colours of raspberry and pomegranite.
Both my favourite especially pomegranite.
When I opened it, the smell of raspberry and pomegranite was strong.
I added boiling water instead of milk without microwaving it and it still turned out ok.
The raspberry and pomegranite taste was not as strong as the smell and the sweetness was just right.
