Tate's Bake Shop. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Review.

 

These cookies have been popular for a while now and a lot of my friends love them, I am finally trying them for review. I wanted chocolate chip but the store did not have them, these are oatmeal raisin.

I'm very disappointed, they are boring, skimp on the raisins and lack flavour. I find they are not as good as even grocery store cookies and I'm not a fan of those and on top of it, these were expensive. I would not buy them or eat them again and I rate them 3/5.

Piper Arms. Bangers and Mash Review.

 

This is my first time at this pub, I ordered the bangers and mash.

I normally make my own bangers and mash but this was my first time ordering it. I'm disappointed, the onion gravy was thin and watery but tasted fine. The sausage had no flavour, it was just meat, with not a hint of seasoning, the most boring sausage I've ever eaten. The mash was pretty good but had no flavour, just potato but you can't really go wrong with mash (unless it's boxed). It came with a side of beans, they were fine too and had a nice tomato-y sauce and I liked the addition of onions. I found the dish was not worth the price but I was happy it came with 3 sausages, for a fair portion. 3/5.

I also tried the coleslaw, it was not the best I've had but was a little sweet as I like it and not vinegary, which is to my taste. 3/5.

Overall nothing I ordered I really enjoyed but I'd consider returning to try other items, preferably on the lunch menu.

Chef Bombay. Butter Chicken Naanpanadas Review.

 

This is my first time trying this brand, this is their butter chicken naanpanadas.

They were really good and I enjoyed the naanpanada shells they were a good firm but soft and felt good to bite texturally, though just tasted of dough. The butter chicken filling but I felt they could be improved with more sauce, more flavour to the sauce and a little more spice then what there is, the kick is very little. Overall I would buy these and eat these again and I rate them 4/5.

Stacked. Banana Bread French Toast Review.

 

I've done a few reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the banana bread French toast.

The banana bread is great and as a dish this was pretty good but it was too sweet for my personal taste, I felt it did not need the icing and out of personal preference I also felt it did not need cinnamon. I'm glad I tried it for review but I would not buy it or eat it again and I rate it 3.5/5.

Ice Cream 2. Banana Boat Ice Cream Review.

 

I've done many reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the banana boat ice cream, it's banana ice cream, with marshmallow and fudge ripple.

It tasted like a more fake banana laffy taffy, meets the chocolate banana monkey pops from my childhood, the fudge and marshmallow were great and I liked how all the flavours went together, I just feel the banana was too much and very fake for my taste. Overall not too bad but the banana flavour is haunting and I wasn't wowed. I would not buy it again but maybe eat it if offered but it was good to try once and I rate it 3.5/5.

Bad Monkey Popcorn. Big Cheese Review.

 

I've done a few reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the cheddar popcorn.

These do not have a good cheese flavour, they are cheap tasting to me, like a dollar store popcorn with a little stinky cheeese taste and a seemingly stale cheddar seasoning on them but it wasn't terrible. I would not buy them or eat them again and I rate them 2.5/5.

Kettle. Backyard Barbeque Chips Review.

 

I've been enjoying this brand for years but I had never done a review, this is the backyard barbeque flavour.

They have a good flavour and they have quite a kick to them but I didn't love them compared to other BBQ chips I've had but I do enjoy the texture of kettle chips, I prefer them to regular chips, other than ripple ones that are my favourite. I would not buy these again but I'd maybe eat them if offered and I rate them 3/5.
