Sainsbury's Plant Pioneers No Egg & Cress Sandwich

Now Sainsburys are also in the game with no egg and cress sandwiches joining M&S who have been selling them for two years. 

The difference is that M&S uses beans to mimic that starchy yolk texture while Sainsburys uses tofu.

I knew I was going to like it because of the tofu and it did not disappoint as it had that soft egg texture yet it was seasoned nicely.

M&S Marks and Spencers breaded lemon sole goujons

You don't often get lemon sole goujons which was why I got these breaded goujons.

Lemon sole is a lovely delicate fish hence perfectly delicious breaded.

Overall, they were tasty paired with some potato shaped hula hoops.

M&S Physalis berry

A Physalis berry is a native Peruvian berry which is an interesting berry because it is encased in a papery calyx.

When you remove the calyx the stalk bit can get quite sticky.

As for the taste, it can be quite confusing because it is quite tart yet quite sweet tasting like a tomato and also like tart strawberry.

Visually it looks like an orange cherry tomato.

M&S Marks Spencer Gluten Free Wheat Free 5 Chocolate Fudge Cake Slices

I am not on a gluten or wheat free diet but the Chocolate Fudge cake slices looked good so I grabbed a box.

The small cake slices were so good because the cake texture was moist yet firm.

Adding M&S UHT chocolate cream to it took it to the next level.

Overall a bit pricey but they were good which makes it ideal for someone who wants something sweet.

Morrisons 2 ginger sponge puddings

The ginger sponge was reduced at Morrisons so I decided to try it.

Overall, the ginger syrup was rather runny and sweet and the sponge was too soggy for my liking.

MOM Meal of the Moment convenience meals

As a restaurant and snack reviewer, I am always searching for new things to review.

MOM products aroused my interest as they were Indian convenience foods.

The packaging and everything looked good with so many things that you usually order from the restaurant like upma etc.

Here are my finds so far and I shall be trying them soon.

I ended up buying the veggie upma, POHA, Chinese fried rice and the Matar pulao.

Upma is a popular Indian breakfast which is a savory porridge made with semolina, water and veggies. I have always wanted to try this but couldn't because Indian restaurants do not open for breakfast. Finally found an instant version by MOM where you just add water. It was interesting because it reminded me of semolina pudding at school but with a savoury and spicy taste. It was savoury and quite spicy but rather bland. As well as vegetables, there were also cashew nuts. Before you eat, there is an optional sachet of bhujia which you can put in. It is suitable for the Jain diet as there are no onions or garlic.

It comes with a matching green spoon.

POHA is flattened rice, another breakfast dish which I have always wanted to try.

I loved the texture which is similar to congee but much more solid so it is more filling however I felt that it lacked some dimenson in taste as it needed some meat or something like that.

The next meal I tried was the Matar Pulao rice which takes 8 minutes after you add hot water.

Again you get a nice orange matching spoon.

In the tub, you get some pickles.

The taste and texture of the rice was really good, it was fluffy and soft.

Before adding the pickles, you get a lovely spice but when you mix the pickles in, the taste is much better as it makes the rice moreish.

The pickles had a nice salty and sour kick but there was an interesting aroma to it.

Last but not least was the Chinese fried rice.

Overall it was good but I found it quite spicy but once you get used to the spices, the fried rice is really delicious.

After browsing the MOM website, the range for instant meals is incredible and they even have Mexican rice as well as Chinese Fried Rice, Veg Biryani, Red Thai Curry, Japanese Katsu Curry Rice, Poha, Veggie Upma, Khatta Meetha Poha, Matar Pulao, Masala Upma, Dal Chawal.
