[Review] Vegan Galaxy and Bounty Milkshake

I am a total fan of Mars Drinks.
In the range are Bounty, Galaxy, MilkyWay, M &Ms and Mars.

My favourites are Galaxy and Mars as they are always thick and creamy which satisfy your sweet cravings.
Now they have launched two vegan non dairy drinks with the use of oat milk and coconut milk for Galaxy and Bounty respectively.

As a foodie and a fan of these drinks I had to give them a try.
The catch is that you can only find them at ASDA at the moment.

So far tried the Bounty first.

I was expecting the drink to be white but it had cocoa according to the label.
The taste was not as sweet as I was anticipating with a strong coconut taste along with the mild chocolate.

The Galaxy was just as good with a creamier taste, it was smooth and silky so the non dairy oat milk tastes just as good.

To summarize, I think I prefer Bounty as a drink because chocolate and coconut makes it quite different.

[Review] Jake & Nayn's Naanster Chicken Tikka and Chickpea

Jake & Nayn's Naansters is basically a naan folded over like Calzone filled with tasty ingredients such as Beef Madras, Chicken Tikka etc.

Got the chicken tikka and had it reheated.



The taste was quite good and the chicken tikka filling was quite satisfying with a good degree of spiciness.

Also tried Chickpea curry which contains chickpeas, pilau rice and mango sauce.
Again quite spicy but I liked this one more than the chicken because I found the rice comforting and filling.

[Review] Tesco finest tarte au citron

Tried Tescos finest tarte au citron which is basically a lemon tart.
I found the lemon curd super acidic while the pastry was a bit too buttery for my liking.

[Review] Greggs Apple danish and yumyum

I love cream donuts and anything with cream, so on this visit got the Apple Danish.
Strangely, it is only available in certain areas according to the media.

To be honest, it does not look like a danish as it is basically an iced bun filled with apple and cream.
Anyway, the apple danish definitely satisfies your sweet cravings filled with fresh cream, apple chunks and icing.

Also tried yum yun which was quite nice but it was quite sweet.

[Review] Greggs Vegan Sausage Rolls

Sausage rolls are a popular pastry in the UK.
Fortunately, they now do Vegan sausage rolls which means vegans can get their fair share.
The ones at Greggs are made with Quorn and the price tag is only £1!

Queues at Greggs are endless so I seized the chance and got one when there was a quiet moment.

I was super impressed after taking a bite.
The pastry was lighter and not as oily.

The taste of the vegan sausage filling was exactly like the real thing with a salmon colour.
The texture was definitely like the real sausage roll but I would describe it like pink slime but not as oily as the meat sausage which I also tried for comparison.

After trying the vegan sausage roll, the meat version was definitely heavier and the pastry was more oily.

[Review] McVities Jaffa Cakes Strawberry - Limited Edition

Traditionally Jaffa Cakes are have an orange filling but these days there have been new fillings like lime and other fancy fruits.
This time it was McVities Jaffa Cakes with a Strawberry filling.
Basically it was the same visually but filled with strawberry in the middle.
Overall, I liked it as strawberries can never go wrong and the dark chocolate complements it nicely.
I hope they will launch other fillings like cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant etc.



[Review] Marks and Spencers Raspberry Yum Yums

I love Yum Yums which are twisted dough coated in icing.
At Marks and Sparks they had Raspberry ones which were fancier than the plains ones.
My instinct was that the plains ones were going to be better but decided to try the raspberry ones which looked like donuts.
According to the label, they were Raspberry Yum Yums filled with raspberry fruit curd with fine raspberry fondant.

Unfortunately, it was too sweet overall and the raspberry curd was disappointing as it tasted and looked like clear raspberry jam.
