Maldon salt

When I first saw the pyramid shape of Maldon Salt, I just fell in love with it.
Not only does it taste good, it looks so cool!!
They also have smoked salt too which is pinkish.





Sadly on my second purchase, most of the salt was already crushed so I only found a few good ones for photos.


Dreyer's D-Collection Pistachio icecream cone

Dreyer's D-Collection pistachio icecream is gorgeous but the icecream cone version was disappointing because the icecream in the cone is mainly vanilla and not pistachio.
The only pistachio icecream you get is the visible part which is not a lot!!

GERBER Graduates Fruit & Veggie Melts

The Very Berry Blend was rather sharp, perhaps it was for toddlers hence the stronger taste compared to the Strawberry.

The pieces were very powdery when I took them out and I got powder on my fingers.
Again, they tasted like meringue with a fruity sharp taste.



GERBER Graduates Strawberry Yoghurt Melts

Bought these without knowing they were for babies (crawler stage) but I was attracted because it was similar to Meringue drops.
The taste was amazing and tasted like freezed dried strawberry yoghurt with a lovely tart taste that was not too sweet.
Definitely a treat for babies without the sugary issue.
I also tried the Very Berry blend which was for toddliers.

Doritos chili heatwave

After trying so many Asian crisps, you will appreciate how delicious British crisps are, but I have always loved them British crisps anyway.

Tried the Doritos chili heatwave which was surprisingly good, it was not too spicy with a hint of lemon that was amazing.

For Asian spicy flavours they will have a nasty sweet tone to it.

NIK NAKS Nice 'n' Spicy Flavour


I love NIK NAKS but my favourite flavours Scampi 'n' Lemon and Hard Cheese have been discontinued because the makers wanted to make Nik Naks a less smelly brand.
The Nice 'n' Spicy Flavour was not spicy but it was very acidic.


Nice 'n' Spicy Flavour ingredients:
Maize, Sunflower Oil (37%), Nice N' Spicy Flavour [Sugar, Yeast Extract, Natural Flavourings (contains Barley Malt Vinegar, Barley Malt Extract, Soya Sauce, Wheat Flour), Salt, Dried Onion, Citric Acid, Curry Powder (Spices, Rice Flour), Malic Acid, Spice, Flavourings (contains Soya Sauce, Wheat Flour, Colour: Paprika Extract, Spice Extracts, Garlic Extracts)].

Numi Organic teas

"Numi Organic Tea is a privately owned triple bottom line social enterprise based in Oakland, California. Numi is known for its assortment of organic and fair trade certified teas and herbal "teasans".
The company was founded in 1999 by brother and sister, Ahmed and Reem Rahim. The founders named the company "Numi" after the citrusy, Middle Eastern dried lime tea they drank as children growing up in Iraq. The name Numi is derived from the Arabic word forcitrus." saids Wikipedia.

I was so lucky to get a sample of their savoury teas, organic teas and Dry desert Lime from Green Pharmacies in Hong Kong.

The organic range I tried were:

Chamomile lemon
 Emperor's Pu Erh
Decaf Ginger Lemon
Rooibos (earthy vanilla)
White Rose
Jasmine green

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Jasmine green
(Fair trade certified organic green tea scented with organic jasmine flowers)
The Jasmine tea was nice and pleasant.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Rooibos (earthy vanilla)
(organic roobos)
The smell of this was similar to chipped wood but the taste was not as strong as I expected.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Emperor's Pu Erh
(organic black Pu erh tea)
The pu erh came out strong with a dark brown colour, it's tastes was earthy and strong.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chamomile lemon
(Fair trade certified organic Chamomile, organic lemon myrtle)
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
White Rose
(Fair trade certified organic white tea, organic rosebuds)
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Decaf Ginger Lemon
(Fair trade certified organic decaf green tea, org, ginger, lemongrass)
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

The latter three were not bad but I am not a fan or floral teas and lemongrass.

You can buy these on their website Green Pharmacies or Citysuper (Time Square, Shatin), Organic stores and Beauty Salons.
