Animal cookies from Market Square

I have to admit, I am a big kid! So when I got these cookies from Octopus Inc I had fun taking them out of the packet to see what animals were inside before eating them.

These cookies were just as fun for me as well as for children, especially for lunch boxes or when kids are travelling.
Each flavour has a colourfully designed boxed with a theme on it.

It comes in four flavours: Vanilla, Chocolate, Chocolate chip and Cinnamon grahams.

All the cookies tasted natural and did not have any weird aftertaste nor were they oily.
My favourite flavours were the Chocolate and Vanilla which brought back memories as a kid and the biscuits back then because of the taste.

POCKET PRETZELS Peanut butter filled pocket pretzels

Pretzels are boring on their own, but when they're filled with Peanut butter, now that's a different story!
These POCKET PRETZELS are addictive!
Basically boring Pretzels made delicious.

I loved the salty surface of the Pretzel pockets and inside it was filled was delicious velvety peanut butter.

Anyway, this is a popular American snack which I haven't seen before in the UK.

Thanks to Octopus Inc for sending me a packet or I would not have tried such a delicious snack.
I will definitely get a stash for my friends back in the UK from Hong Kong!!

Godiva milk chocolate

Godiva Chocolatier (Tsim Sha Tsui)

Thanks to LT for these Godiva chocolates.

To be honest, I have never bought any Godiva chocolates before and I still havent tried the famous softserve icecream.

The only Godiva item I did try a while ago was the chocolate frappe with raspberry.

Godiva chocolate:

It was smooth and velvety.

The sweetness was just right without any unpleasant aftertaste because some other brands use vegetable oils and not cocoa butter.

Vanilla chocolate cone Cornetto Confectionary

From the appearance, you could be easily fooled thinking it was a tiny Cornetto!
But it is actually a non-icecream confectionary!!



Wrapped just like the real thing, there is a real wafer cone inside with Vanilla filling topped with nuts and chocolate.



At the bottom of the cone, it is also has chocolate too!

The taste was quite interesting because the vanilla icecream was mimicked by whipped vanilla cream and it was enjoyable and fun eating it!
The first non melting cornetto!

Otsuka SOYSH sparkling soy water

The small white pearlescent bottle caught my attention.


After taking a closer look, I realized it was Sparkling soy water! How interesting because I have never seen soy water before.

Usually soymilk comes in milk form so I was really curious whether the drink would be clear of milky!~

It is interesting because from their website, they are a pharmaceutical company.

I am not sure if the drink contains alcohol but the English labelling from the supermarket says: soy cider!

There was an interesting ring pull design to open the bottle, once it was opened, the drink inside was a milky white colour.


The taste was quite milky and smooth but not too sweet with a fizz.

There was a really nasty artificial banana smell with a hint of banana and minty aftertaste just like medicine probably because it is produced by a pharmaceutical company!

Also from their website, SoyJoy bars are made by them too which I have tried before.

I would love to try the Fruity Tomato soyjoy bar and the Prune Fe Plus soyjoy bar if I could find them.

got milk? Magic straws

I have always wanted to try these magic straws that are said to flavour your milk.

Finally saw a place that had them and tried the chocolate.

They had other flavours too:
Wild berry, cookies and cream, orange and cream, chocolate and strawberry.

NEW fun flavors coming in 2014!
Cotton Candy, Banana Split, Candy Corn and Rootbeer Float
Limited edition flavors!

Neapolitan, Cinnamon Roll and Chocolate Candy Cane

I tried the chocolate and it was really nice because the milk is flavoured instantly by chocolate and it is not too sweet.
It makes plain milk taste better and a good way to increase daily calcium intake.
Basically, the straw is filled with tiny balls of compressed chocolate powder so that when you suck the straw, the milk is flavoured by the chocolate when it passes up the straw.



Someone drinking it!

(Obviously not my hand because he has a really chubby hand)
