[Review] Fortnum's Toffolossus Biscuits

Tried Fortnum and Mason's Toffolossus Biscuits which come in a oversized tin that is bigger than your usual tins.
Inside, there are two packs of biscuits.

I found them very sweet and hard while the toffee bits were not chewy.

The best bit was the salty aftertaste.
Frankly the McVities caramel digestives were better.

[Review] KFC's The Original Recipe Vegan Burger in UK

Last summer, UK's KFC launched the IMPOSTER (vegan chicken burger) which was sold out within four days so it must have been good.
For Veganuary this year, KFC have launched The Original Recipe Vegan Burger which is a meat-free alternative to the classic chicken Fillet Burger, replacing the usual chicken breast fillet with a vegan Quorn™ fillet coated in the Colonel's iconic blend of 11 herbs and spices.

As soon as Veganuary began, I just couldn't wait to try it.

I went to the Hailsham branch where the Vegan burger wasn't on the main menu so I thought they didn't have it but they did.


After I ordered, I discovered the product shot on the window near the exit which isn't helpful as most people would have ordered by the time they look in that direction.
The burger came after waiting for a few minutes, it came in a green box with the words Zero chicken.
When I held the box, it felt so light as if there was nothing in there.


Taking a bite, the patty was rock hard and dry, but it was a no brainer to realize they have fried it for too long.
I would have requested another one but friends were with me so I didn't bother.
Luckily half of the patty was normal so I was able to try the good side of it which was so delicious complemented by the creamy mayonnaise which is also vegan.
I would describe the patty as the closest one that tastes like chicken patty but I wouldn't say say chicken filet because the texture is more like the chicken nuggets from McDs that is made of pink slime and not much of chicken.


To summarize, I will definitely have another one as it was so good because of the delicious iconic coating but at a different branch because this branch seemed like it was the first time they served it.

[Review] Smoked ToFoo and Naked ToFoo

Discovered smoked ToFoo at Tesco.
It was the only box there as the others have sold out otherwise I would have bought the original.
(Photo taken at a different date)

Anyway, the tofu comes vacuumed sealed in brine, when it take it out the smoky aroma is quite prominent.

Tried it straight out the packet and it had nice and firm texture with smokey aroma.
Also tried making it into curry which was quite nice as I wanted the curry to overcome the smokey taste which worked.
When it was cooked, the tofu was slightly softer which also worked out nicely.
Also tried the Naked ToFoo which was more to my liking as it was firm plain tofu which went well in soup.



[Review] Daim Limited Edition Lemon

A Daim bar is a Swedish chocolate bar made from crunchy almond caramel covered in milk chocolate.

Spotted the limited edition Lemon so tried it.

I am not sure what to make of it but it was quite nice as the lemon wasn't that artificial or overwhelming.





As well as lemon, there has been Cappuccino, forest fruit bar, gingerbread, Coke, White chocolate, dark chocolate, blueberry, lemon/orange and mint.

[Review] Sangri Indian

Although I am always trying out different restaurants.
Sangri Indian is one that I return to because their food is comforting just like this restaurant in Stepney Green which closed down.
I love their vegetable side dishes and as well as their rice.

Unfortunately, I can't find the previous pictures but here is the lemon rice I had recently which is fluffy and goes well with lots of dishes.




[Review] Tesco Strawberry bites with a yoghurt flavoured coating with fruit puree

When I spotted this box, I thought they were white chocolate covered freeze dried strawberries but it turns out to be yoghurt coated snacks.

I love yoghurt coated snacks because of the yoghurt coating but it is often nuts or raisins that are coated.
The Tesco Strawberry bites are cube shaped pieces of fruit puree covered in a yoghurt flavoured coating which definitely appeals more than nuts or raisins.


As for the taste, I definitely liked it because it was yoghurt coated snacks to the next level.
The pairing of chocolate like yoghurt and strawberry is simply delicious.

Other snacks I would like to see covered in yoghurt coating are dehydrated apple pieces and coconut.

[Review] Viennetta Chocolate & Orange Flavour Ice Cream

Viennetta Ice Cream, first created in 1982 by Wall’s in Gloucester, and it has been a family favourite since as well as a popular demand in Asia.
It comes in two flavours, Vanilla and Mint.

Tried the festive Viennetta chocolate and orange which was difficult to find.


When I took it out the box, the icecream layers and ripples were mildly intact.

Overall I was disappointed as I found the chocolate icecream too soft and powdery.

The taste was basically chocolate icecream with a hint of bitterness and orange in it.

To summarize, the mint chocolate one was the best.
