VONO Spinach chicken cream soup pasta





Overall it tasted nice but there was some plasticky taste about it.

Plaza del Sol Morceaux de calmars dans leur encre






























Shame I forgot to take a picture of the contents, but it was squid in ink sauce.
It was nice just pairing it with noodles or plain rice.

Sainsbury's red berry balance cereal bars





Overall I felt that it tasted too sweet and not as chewy as I would have liked.
However there were lots of cranberries at the base of the bar.

Kellogg's version of the red berry bar:

VONO Tomato and Cream soup pasta

Tastes like canned tomato soup, but not as creamy as its name suggests.
Overall not bad.



Sainsbury's chocolate chip and nut chewy and crispy bars






















A lovely chewy bar by Sainsbury's, each layer is clearly defined, you can see the scrumptious caramel at the centre and chocolate chips on top.
It is nice and chewy as stated and there is a strong peanut taste.

Japanese cinnamon vanilla coffee


Was given this from someone but without the packaging, so I am clueless on how to make this coffee because I hardly drink coffee anyway, but when I opened it up, the coffee was nicely packaged in a bag with paper holdalls around it.
Anyway, I pulled the paper and I think it was meant to stand in a cup, so I did that and pour hot water into the centre to let it drip.
Then I did the usual business of adding sugar and creamer and was amazed it tasted nice because I do not drink coffee. However I could not taste any cinnamon or vanilla.
Or I may have made it wrong and the coffee should have tasted stronger.
But nevertheless, it did not have a weird aftertaste nor did it make my mouth go sour.

Nile spice couscous lentil curry soup





From the Nile spice couscous soup range, I have only tried the minestrone one and the Lentil curry.
The minestrone flavour was not that strong hence the couscous had some strange taste to it.
Anyway, the curry in this one was strong which took away the strange taste.
There were generous amounts of lentils in it.
If you prefer the couscous texture soft, then stand it for an extra few minutes.

A nice wholesome soup by Nile Spice containing cous cous.

Madam Pearl's Tea throat candy - Oolong tea flavour





Madam Pearl's is a brand of cough syrup in Hong Kong and now they have throat candies.
Anyway I just tried it for fun and there were two flavours: Jasmine, Oolong tea.
Previously wrote about the Jasmine flavour which tends to taste sweeter.
The Oolong flavour tastes much better and the tea taste is stronger with a cooling minty taste as well.

Madam Pearl's Tea throat candy - Jasmine tea flavour

Madam Pearl's is a brand of cough syrup in Hong Kong and now they have throat candies.
Anyway I just tried it for fun and there were two flavours: Jasmine, Oolong tea.

When I opened it, the candy was bright green. It had more colouring than I expected.

I found it very sweet and it tasted like the Taiwanese Jasmine teas from the Taiwanese beverage joints.

I preferred the Oolong flavour.



JOLI Antioxidant Premiumix

Packaged like a western brand, it claims that it is a product of USA.



















However there was no information on JOLI whatsoever, so I think the contents are from USA, but repackaged by some brand in Hong Kong - China because there is a Facebook in Chinese for this product.


















Although the packaging is said to be high in anti-oxidants, the contents itself are too sweet!

Apart from that, there is a cute spoon/fork hidden at the bottom of the packaging.
Inside the packaging was red berries and they tasted quite sweet despite being a health product.

A fork was found when I opened this part of the packaging

Pot noodles chicken and mushroom flavour

I love pot noodles, and "Pot noodles" is a British brand.

Recently I tried the chicken and mushroom flavour, and found it had changed slightly since childhood.
There are more finely chopped chives and I found some Asian mushrooms, it used to be the white mushrooms.

I prefer the old taste and the textured soya pieces.

KFC in KOREA

Was amazed at the variety and choice of food at Korea's Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).
There is more on their website, but I have only posted the ones I wanted to try most and the ones
I felt were unique.










































CANTI - THE ITALIAN WINE STYLE

I dont really drink alcohol, but there is no harm in sharing because the website for this is really classy. The product line "Babies" is really cute, especially the size. I hope to try Pinot grigio blush.

MX's countryside breakfast

I want to try this mainly because of the countryside potatoes. However they should have real mayonnaise, ketchup or match the fish with tartar sauce instead of the standard Chinese salad cream!
