Aldi Diplomat Biscuit tea

Having tried the Yorkshire Biscuit tea which tastes like biscuits I had to get my hands on the Aldi dupe to compare.
Unfortunately, it is the same as the other Aldi teas, you get a lot of tea scum within seconds of putting hot water in the cup.
As soon as you pour the water in, the colour of the tea without milk goes extremely dark.
Sadly, the smell and taste of the biscuit was too light and over powered by the black tea base which was too strong and almost bitter.

itsu chicken bao bun

Ever since I saw this huge bao bun by itsu, I have always wanted to get it because it looks so big in this pretty box.
It was seriously fit to eat and best tasting chicken bun.
I've been put off by the ones in Asia as well as China town because the meat is not fresh and the bun is ready to choke you to death in texture as well as the sickening sickness.
Not even sure how they eat those buns but the itsu one was so good.
The chicken was real chicken pieces and not grounded fat and the bun texture was fluffy and not stodgily sticky.
Overall, itsu have made it look more presentable and hygienic.

Princessa summer edition pistachio brownie wafer

Bought the pistachio brownie wafer because it was an unusual flavour that I haven't seen at other Polish shops.
Visually, it looks like an oreo wafer with green filling.
It was quite nice and different and the powdery filling tasted a bit savoury but pistachio notes weren't strong.
Couldn't taste anything that like chocolate to make you think of brownies.
Other flavour spotted was the pink pina colada.






Waitrose Summer dessert chocolate strawberries

These chocolate strawberries are not chocolate dipped strawberries but strawberry shaped chocolate mousse with strawberry filling and a crispy base.
I got them because they looked nice so didn't have any expectations.
It was just rich chocolate mousse on the outside with some strawberry compote filling.
Overall, a nice looking high end patisserie treat from the supermarket which you can't get in some shit countries like Asia.

Pukka Pepperoni Pizza Slice

I love Pukka so when I saw the Pepperoni pizza slice I had to try it.
The pepperoni seemed interesting because I thought it would have big pepperoni slices inside.
Instead of finding the regular pepperoni slices I found mini pepperoni slices but then it does say that in the ingredients.
As a pizza slice, I was expecting it to be cheesy but it was more rich and salty than anticipated.
Overall nice if you are not expecting something bland.

Mlekpol milko Melon and wild strawberries yoghurt drink

On a recent trip to the Polish groceries, I spotted a good yoghurt drink range by milko, there were so many flavours but the one that caught my eye was the melon and wild strawberries which you don't often see.
The taste was really impressive because you get a natural melon taste which isnt like solvent and there are bits of melon in the yoghurt.
I also like the fact that the melon is more prominent than the strawberry which is also reflected in the ingredients.
There is 2.8% of melon and 0.2% of strawberry from puree.
Overall, I was really impressed with this and would definitely buy it again although I would like to try other flavours.






Krispy Kreme Coronation doughnuts: Berry Bakewell and Kings Trifle

Krispy Kreme always have doughnuts for every occasion and this time it was for the Coronation which definitely appealed to me without hesitation to buy.
The Coronation doughnuts were: Berry Bakewell, with raspberry filling and almond Kreme, iced and adorned with a glace cherry. Lemon short bread, dipped in smooth lemon icing, with a swirl of vanilla frosting and shortcake biscuit pieces. Last but not least, the Kings Trifle with a strawberry and custard filling.
Visually, the Kings Trifle was the best with a bright purple icing topped with a crown so I tried this one first.
As always, the icing on top is rather sweet and some doughnuts can be quite oily so it depends which branch you get it from.
Apart from that, the custard and strawberry filling was quite nice.
The Berry Bakewell again was the same, the icing overpowers everything so I devoured it in a messy way by eating the bottom and the filling to taste the it properly.
The filling was interesting, as they used almond butter along with some raspberry jam so it doesn't taste like the typical almond frangipane style bakewell but it was nice.
