Sunbites Onion & rosemary by Walkers

I loved the lilac crisp packet and inside there were aromatic crispy bites but the rosemary was not strong enough and there was a sweet aftertaste.



Chinese herbal cookies! Imperial Bird's Nest (Central)

Imperial Bird's Nest (Central)

I bought these cookies because the flavours were unusual!
There were three boxes per pack with three flavours of 8 individually packed cookies.


cordiceps militaris cookie

Monkey mushroom and black sesame cookie
Black fungus with black sesame cookie

Each flavour is clearly labelled.


Despite the different flavours, all three taste really similar and you can't really taste the cordiceps or monkey mushroom or the black fungus!!
They just tasted like ordinary local butter cookies!

Marks and Spencers Marquisette biscuits

I love these piped Marquisette biscuits which were crumbly and light with a touch of chocolate.


Marks and Spencers Mini Jaffa cakes

I love Jaffa cakes and these are mini ones which are addictive.
Jaffa cakes are British and it is a Genoise sponge base with a layer of orange flavoured jelly coated with chocolate.

They were delicious frozen because I like the jelly to be chewy.

McDonalds black and white coconut pie a la mode

I was excited because McDonalds launched this black and white coconut pie.
To my knowledge, there has not been a black and white coconut pie but this was served in China last August.
As well as the pie, there are the black and white burgers that are the same as last years.
For the shake shake fries seasoning there is the salt n pepper crabwhich was available a few years ago in oct, 2011.
According to my earlier review, it has a fragrant basil taste.

Anyway, I went to McD's to try the coconut pie.
It seems that different branches are offering different things, the one I went to only served the pie and icecream but according to instagram some branches just sell the pie only.

The coconut pie was quite nice with a coconut filling that was not too strong and pieces of coco de nata.






If I had a choice, I prefer it without the icecream so hopefully I can find another McDonalds that just has the pie or wait until the 4th when the pie is fully launched at all branches.

Beat hangovers with NOHO!

Before I tried this product I consulted some serious drinkers about this and was surprised that they have heard of it before and said it was effective.
NOHO lets you drink and relieves you of hangovers the next morning leaving you ready to for your day.
Hangovers are caused by loss of essential vitamins, minerals, nutrients and antioxidants as well as being dehydrated which is why you feel so bad the next day.
NOHO is a drink inspired by IV drips that were used in treating alcohol poisoning hence it is not an energy drink.
It is formulated with Ginger Root Extract that helps soothe the stomach and digestive system, while the Prickly Pear Extract found in the desert cactus helps to hydrate the body and cleanse the liver.

Originally based on an IV drips formula for, NOHO is not an energy drink, or similar stimulant beverage – NOHO contains no sugar (in 60ml form), caffeine, or other stimulants. NOHO is specifically formulated to help fortify your body and protect it.
Instructions are easy, drink a bottle before you drink alcohol and have fun then drink the last bottle before you go to bed.
