Aldi Jelly & Custard

Aldi's new jelly & custard
It is new at Aldi but Morrisons have it too.
I didn't have any expectations because the Morrisons version was terrible so I'm glad to say Aldi's version was much better.
It wasn't heavenly but the custard and jelly was pleasant and not artificial.
The texture of the jelly was too soft for my liking lacking gelatine.









Aldi Rhubarb & custard Sundae

I was really excited when I saw these as a rhubarb fan but unfortunately they were disappointing.
If I ate this blind folded, all I could taste was the vanilla and nothing else.
The texture of the cream was weird like gelatine mousse.

LuckyMe! noodles (Phillipine) reviewed

Discovered the Lucky Me brand of instant noodles at a local Philippine store.
There so were many flavours so ended up getting a lot.
Here were the flavours tried.

LuckyMe Pancit Canton chow mein instant noodles
These were a little disappointing as the noodle shape was different to the product shot. 
Overall, they were not bad in a taste but a bit spicy.

Lucky Me! Bulalo 
Monde Nissin Beef bone marrow flavour instant noodles.
I was drawn to these noodles because it was unusual to see a beef bone marrow flavour but to be honest, I didn't expect it to contain any bone marrow.
It was a very small portion of noodles but in a way that was good because I got to try the other flavour of noodles afterwards.
The flavour was nice and beefy.
In the garnish sachet, there were these strands of brown stuff which looked like beef and when I tried them, they were convincing like pulled beef belly but they are actually texturized wheat protein from the ingredients.
Overall, this is really worth trying and guilt free as you don't get much in a portion.

Lucky Me! Monde Nissin chicken & seafood flavour in rich & thick soup instant noodles.
I bought these along with the Beef bone marrow flavour noodles.
The flavour profile of this soup was very different as it had a really strong prawny smell and you get wide noodles in the packet.
The soup comes out thick as shown.
Overall worth trying.

Lucky Me! Batchoy
Again another good noodle, the batchoy had some nice garnishing.
There was one sachet of crispy chicharron and garlic.







Twinings tea shop and Vanilla tea review

Finally gave the Twinings tea shop a visit.
I was amazed by the variety as there is Hot Chocolate, Matcha powder, Coffee beans, fancy teas which you won't find at the supermarkets, tea pots and cups etc.
All at affordable prices.
There is a tea tasting section at the far end of the shop.
I ended up getting the Vanilla black tea which is not often seen at the shops.
The Twinings vanilla tea had a lovely sweet notes with a sweet taste.
Adding milk and sugar makes it more indulgent.

Lidl Italiamo Pistachio yoghurt and Pistachios covered in milk chocolate

I love pistachio so when Lidl has these pistachios covered in milk chocolate and Pistachio yoghurt I had to get them both.


Pistachio yoghurt with dark chocolate & hazelnut sauce.
There were only two pots left so I grabbed one to try.
The top layer is obviously pistachio yoghurt so tried it first before mixing the bottom layer.
The pistachio yoghurt layer was quite nice and tart but there was some sweetness coming through.
I wouldn't say the pistachio is strong but the yoghurt is quite tart which goes well with the chocolate hazelnut sauce at the bottom but the only problem was the chocolate hazelnut taste was really prominent that when you mix it, the pistachio flavour is totally gone.
The chocolate hazelnut sauce at the bottom was quite watery.






Chocolate covered pistachios.
Having missed these chocolate covered pistachios on the last Italian round I had to get them.
To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with them because all you can taste is the sweetness but not much of the chocolate hence dark chocolate would have been better.
I would say it is similar to chocolate covered peanuts eg sweet and savoury but more savoury as they are pistachios
