Glico Caplico Uji Matcha

Got this wafer filled snack because it looked really nice.

The filling inside reminds of me Aero chocolate and the sweetness was just right.

It was filled with uji matcha chocolate and the uji match (green tea) was not bitter.

Nabisco Picola uji matcha wafer rolls

Nabisco Picola 宇治抹茶

Tried these Japanese wafer rolls which are coated with Uji Matcha on the inside.

They were quite sweet but the Uji Matcha (green tea) was extremely bitter.

In the box there are two packets with six wafer roll inside.

Baxters Stay Full Broccoli, Salmon and Watercress Soup

Tried the Broccoli, Salmon and Watercress soup by Baxters Stay Full range.

I was very impressed by this soup and found it very wholesome.

It is different from other soups because it is about 30% soup and the rest of the 70% are the filling ingredients such as Celery, Broccoli, Onions, Leeks, Peas, Edamame Beans, Potatoes, Watercress, Pinto Beans, Salmon, Pearl Barley and Crème Fraiche.

The only disappointment was the Salmon, I was expecting more Salmon and the pieces of salmon were tiny!It was about the size of a 9mm cube and smaller than a pea.

But anyway the taste was really nice.

I was also expecting to find some whole pieces of broccoli too but it was finely chopped.

However there were lots of pulses.

Baxters Stay Full Spiced Butternut Squash and Edamame Bean Soup

Also tried this as well as the Broccoli, Salmon and watercress soup.

I knew this was not going to taste as good as the Broccoli one so I had no expectations for it.

Overall, the soup was OK, again about 30% soup and 70% of (Butternut Squash, Butterbeans, Carrots, Edamame Beans, Haricot Beans, Red Peppers, Sweet Potato, Onions, Celery and Yellow Split Peas).
The smell was quite pleasant with a hint of cumin and the butterbeans were huge.

7-SIGNATURE Lobster and Tobiko salad sandwich

7-SIGNATURE Lobster and Tobiko salad sandwich 龍蝦蟹籽沙律三文治

Apart from trying the Crabmeat and Mentaiko salad sandwich (http://supersupergirl-food.blogspot.com/2012/04/7-signature-mentaiko-and-crab-meat.html), this was the other one I wanted to try too.

It had much more filling compared to the other one.

I felt that there was some confusion with the Chinese labelling and English because of the Tobiko.
Tobiko (とびこ, in Japanese) is the Japanese word for the flying fish roe used to create certain types of sushi.
But the Chinese description said 蟹籽 which is not tobiko.

Anyway, the lobster and tobiko filling is peach coloured and most probably food colouring.
The filling was quite soft and puree like.
I found it really sweet and the lobster was tasteless.



7-SIGNATURE Mentaiko and Crab meat salad sandwich 明太子蟹肉沙律三文治

I was attracted by these sandwiches because they were not the usual boring ones.

The one I got was Mentaiko with crab meat and salad and the other one was Lobster and crab roe.

The sandwich tasted great but the filling could have been evenly spread, the first side had a corner that had no filling and when I had the second half of the sandwich there was less filling on that side as well!

But overall, the colour of the filling and the cucmber was nice and it tasted like western prawn cocktail salad even though it was crab.

The only downside was that it was too sweet and there was not enough filling.
