Halo Top Platinum Series giveaway at the Bank of Halo

I was really lucky I was in Shoreditch as the US Ice Cream brand Halo Top had a pop-up in the form of a bank with a glittery vault at the back where you get the ice cream.
The video has more details:

There is an ATM on the left, some silver spoons on chains with a glitter stand just like those pen on chains at the bank.

At the back was a huge fault with a silver glitter door where you get your ice cream.

They were giving away Halo Top Platinum series which are low in calories.
The choices were Space Candy, Monster Cookie and Triple Chocolate Cake and the sticks come in Vanilla Crunch, Salted Caramel Swirl and Cookies & Cream.

If you try the tubs, you get to use the ATM machine on the way out which is actually a fun Automatic Topper Machine!!!
I chose the Space Candy which is pink and blue candy floss ice cream swirled with a meteor shower of popping candy pieces.

It was topped with further pearlescent candy at the ATM which sadly I forgot to take a picture of.

Overall, the ice-cream was tasty and not too sweet.
Knowing how much calories makes you feel less guilty.

[Review] ASDA Victoria Sponge Flavour Milkshake

ASDA has launched four milkshakes which are all flavoured by sweet desserts!!!

The four flavours are:
Victoria Sponge, Banoffee Pie, Salted Caramel Brownie and Sticky Toffee Pudding

I didn't expect them to contain any real cake as I believe they are just inspired and flavoured accordingly, although you can get some thick shakes that have bits of dough/cake in them.

It was really difficult to decide which flavours to get so I eliminated the Banoffee pie first because I don't like bananas.
Then it was down to Salted caramel brownie and sticky toffee pudding.
I selected the sticky toffee because the salted caramel brownie is basically just going to taste like chocolate with salted caramel.
As for the Victoria Sponge, I wasn't keen on this flavour because strawberry comes to mind so I would imagine it tasting like strawberry milkshake but got it as well because I am a fan of the Victoria Sponge cake.

Tried the Victoria Sponge Flavour milkshake first because the sell by date goes off earlier than the Sticky Toffee Milkshake.
The milkshake wasn't as thick as anticipated, nor was it as sweet as expected.
It just tasted like thick cream with a hint of artificial raspberry flavouring.

The Sticky Toffee Pudding Flavour Milkshake was similar in the sense it tasted like single cream with a prominent hint of toffee aroma and taste that was not too sweet.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture before drinking it.

[Review] Mr Kipling After Dinner Mint Fancies

Mr Kipling has done it again with another delicious treat called the After Dinner Mint Fancies.

It is a light chocolate sponge topped with a smooth mint creme enrobed in soft chocolate fondant.

Although it was quite sweet but definitely the treat to go with tea.

I loved the soft chocolate fondant coating because it goes really well with the texture of the soft cake.
The sweetest part is actually the mint creme in the middle.

Overall I was glad I tried this.
Hopefully they will come up with a blackforest Fancy with cherry creme or cherry compote.

[Review] Tesco Lemon & Coriander Houmous

Houmous is getting fancy these days.
At Tesco, they have a good variety like red pepper houmous, sweet chili houmous, Moroccan houmous, caramelized onion houmous etc.

My ultimate choice would be Moroccan because of the spices but it wasn't available so I got the Lemon & Coriander and the caramelized onion houmous.
The Lemon & Coriander was amazing because the extra lemon makes it moreish and the best thing is that I can't taste the coriander because I am not keen on it.

The caramelized onions was good but I don't have a sweet tooth on savoury foods.

Squeezy Marmite

You either hate or love Marmite.
I love Marmite even more now with the new Squeezy bottle design.
It has always troublesome getting marmite out of the jar because it is sticky and thick!!!
The squeezy bottle is just perfect.

[Review] Cofresh Snacks

Found these at home, Cofresh Chili & Lemon Grills and the Cofresh Jalapeno grills.
The Jalapeno flavour clearly had a strong Jalapeno aroma with a punch of spiciness.

As for the Cofresh chili & lemon, I found this addictive because of the lemon.

Overall both were good because these snacks are starchy and crunchy.

[Review] Batchelor Super noodle Pots Chicken and Beef

I love Batchelor Super Noodles and now you can get the pot version.
Tried the pot version of curry and bacon a while ago which was quite nice.

There is now BBQ Beef and Chicken so tried them as well.

Batchelor Super noodle Pot Chicken:

Batchelor Super noodle Pot Beef:

I prefer the BBQ beef as it tastes stronger while the chicken was a bit bland.
Compared to Pot Noodles, I find Super Noodle Pots lighter and the sauce is rather viscous.
