Lay's black bean prawn flavour crisps 豆豉蝦味薯片

Thanks to my friend for getting these from China!
I really liked this flavour because it reminds you of Chinese takeaways and black bean dishes.

The black bean flavour was not that strong but it was quite spicy.

Modern American ginseng beverage available in Hong Kong.

GinZeng is the first beverage with genuine American ginseng pieces in it retailing at $20 per bottle at Citysuper.
The ginseng is grown in Wisconsin US, graded in Hong Kong and bottled in Taiwan,.

There are three flavours: Original, Goji berry and rose.
Every bottle has pieces of ginseng at the bottom.

+++++++++++++++++++++++
ORIGINAL GINZENG:
This contains American ginseng with natural rock sugar and water to help improve wellbeing and rejuvenates the body. American ginseng is known to deepen concentration, sharpen your mind, improve memory, and energize the body, all without caffeine!
I loved the taste of this one because the ginseng tasted natrual with a hint of bitterness and it was not too sweet.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
GOJI BERRY GINZENG
This contains American ginseng and goji berries which are said to be an excellent source of antioxidants, loaded with beta-carotene which helps promote healthy, glowing skin, and are packed with Vitamin C.
Compared to the first drink, the bitterness was stronger.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
ROSE GINZENG
This contains rose and ginseng.
Roses are known to brighten moods, relieve tension and calm your mind.
I didn't try this because I don't like the smell of rose.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
The three founders of this drink graduated from the all time prestigious UCL from my lovely country!

Orange millions milk chocolate bar

Orange millions:



The chocolate had a nice orange smell and it had pieces of crisp and chewy orange flavoured pieces in it which tasted delicious with the milk chocolate.
It tasted great after I put the chocolate in the freezer because the pieces became chewier.

too sum 100 calorie snack bar

When I first came across this snack bar I thought it was a dental product because of the name toosum.

toosum comes from the old English word “toothsome,” means temptingly tasty and delicious.

toosum seeks tasty natural ingredients from around the world and each 100 calorie snack bar flavour is inspired by exotic locations such as the South Pacific islands, the Amazon rainforest, the Greek Mediterranean Sea, and East Asia.

There are four flavours:
Each bar is clearly labelled.

My favourites were the greek yoghurt and the cherries and plum really I love the fruity tastes.
The texture of the bar was nice and chewy with crispy chia seeds in it and the overall taste was good because it was not too sweet.

Calbee potato sticks with Mango Habanero Chili dipping sauce

Thanks to Calbee for these fun Potato sticks that comes with a dipping sauce.
The proper name of this product according to the packaging is:
Calbee potato crunch potato sticks (original flavour) with Mango Habanero Chili Dipping Sauce.
卡樂脆薯條!「芒果哈瓦那辣椒醬」
On the side of the packaging, there is a little introductory about the Habanero Chili.
So when you open the box, you will find a bag of Original potato sticks and a dipping sauce.
 
It was good that it came with the Original potato sticks because it does not have any other flavours that will over power the Mango Habanero sauce.
The sauce was really good because it was spicy with a short burst of spiciness that did not linger followed by a sweet aftertaste.
I found the dipping sauce sufficient for the whole pack of potato sticks and was the remaining sauce after the potato sticks were finished.
I will definitely get these again and hope to see more flavours!!

Kellogg's Chocolatey Pretzel cereal bar

There are quite a few flavours for Kellogg's cereal bars.
So far I have tried Kellogg's chocolate and raspberry and red cherry.
Finally tried the Pretzel one which was surprisingly good, at first I thought the Pretzels were going to make it taste weird but the whole bar itself had this interesting caramel taste to it and the texture was nice and chewy.
