Lidl Alma Latima Avocado Burger Patties and Fries

I was quite impressed to find avocado fries and avocado burger patties at Lidl so I gave them a try because these are things that I would order from restaurants.
This is probably the first time trying their Latin range.
To summarize, both were quite good but a bit too spicy.
The patty was like eating coarse avocado guacamole in a crispy coating and the avocado fries were good just like restaurant quality.
It was creamy and soft but the coating was too spicy and salty that it stole the show from the avocado.












Ben Shaw's Dandelion and Burdock


Dandelion & Burdock drink is an old English drink.
Unfortunately, it is not my cup of tea because it tasted like liquorice.
Perhaps, I might like this when I'm older.







Chef Kuo chicken fresh noodles

Finally tried these 29p Chef Kuo noodles from Farmfoods.
As expected, the noodles are similar to those vacuum packed udon because there is this plastic smell when you open them.
Apart from that, they were nice because of the sauces.
The red oil sachet is where most of the chicken flavours comes from which is spicy as well.
There is another sachet of crispy onion and sesame bits which I didn't use as I don't like them.
If you don't like the sauces, you can probably add bolognaise sauce and it would taste good.
I thought the box could be reused but there are holes on the corner of the lid for draining off the water.







Camelicious Long Life WHOLE camel milk

Finally got hold of some Camel milk and it was creamy as expected.
It reminded me of evaporated milk but not as fragrant and the taste was creamy yet tasting like egg white!
Overall it was really nice and I used it for bubble tea resulting in a creamylicious taro tea.

VOSS Water

Unusual bottle colour for Voss.
The ones you normally see are silver and glass.




itsu satay rice noodles

The noodles were delish, I'm glad I didn't follow the instructions.
Basically I just added hot water, let the noodles soften and mixed 60% of the sauce from the sachet and got some very tasty noodles as I don't like soupy noodles.








KABUTO Mac N cheese!

If you have seen this brand before they basically do noodles where you just add water.
As a mac and cheese fan, I got this to try as it was quite different to their regular Asian inspired range.
Although, the Mac N Cheese was seriously good the instructions defeat the purpose of being a convenience product.
The taste of this was creamy yet full of umami which you don't or shouldn't get from mac and cheese but it was oddly nice, it was like American style mac with a bit of msg/chicken powder kick to it.
Anyway, back to the instructions which seriously need a rant!!
There were at 6 steps to follow so it is not as straight forward as adding water or slapping it in the microwave/oven.
To be honest, I didn't expect it needed the microwave!
It was so annoying you had to put it in the microwave, let it stand, stir, microwave again, let it stand again before you could eat it!
I was so hungry and impatient, I ended up eating other stuff to forget about it and something I cooked in the halogen oven was ready before the bloody mac.
