Jumbo Dragon. Spareribs, Pepper Steak and More Review.

 

This was my first time trying this restaurant. I got spareribs, pepper steak with veggies, chicken fried rice, wonton soup and an egg roll.

The rice was dry and boring, it had a weird almost cardboard flavour but overall not the worst I've had 3/5.

The pepper steak had an okay flavour but the sauce felt greasy, the meat was not too chewy but I wish it was spicy 3/5.

The veggies had a good crunch but were not great with the sauce but still enjoyable 3.5/5.

The spareribs were slippery, tough and chewy, they were not easy to eat but the sauce was sweet and smoky which was fine 3/5.

The wonton soup, I'm always disappointed they only ever put 4 or so in the soup but it was good, I've never a bad wonton soup. The strips of pork though were boring and a little tough but the pork in the wonton was good, just a bit boring as well but the wonton wrappers were thin and tasted great in the broth, the broth was also really good 4/5.

Lastly the egg roll, it just tasted like oil and bean sprouts, it had a very oily flavour and I could only eat a few bites before tossing it 0/5.

Overall I would not likely order from here again, unless I popped in for the soup, otherwise none of the other items I liked enough to get again and I'm not inclined to try other items, knowing how disappointed I was this time.

Tim Hortons. Pumpkin Spice Filled Muffin Review.

 

I've done many reviews from this restaurant but this is my second pumpkin spice muffin review of theirs (search them on my blog) but today is the new pumpkin spice muffin. My last pumpkin spice muffin was 7 years ago, at the time I hated pumpkin spice but it's grown on me over the years and I thought I'd give it another try.

This muffin was fair, it was not quite enough pumpkin spice flavour for me but it was nice. The cream cheese filling though I felt was too sweet, more sweet than any other cream cheese frosting I have eaten. Overall this was an alright muffin and I did like it more than I thought I would, I went into it with worry but it was fine. I would not likely buy it again but I'd consider eating it if offered and I rate it 3/5.

Del Monte. 1/2 Dipped Bananas Creamy Bar Review.

 

I have done one other review from this brand (search it on my blog) and today I'm trying the 1/2 dipped bananas.

The top half is a banana covered in chocolate and the second half is banana kinda ice cream, it's an interesting concept and tastes pretty good but I did not enjoy biting into it out of personal preference. I don't think I'd buy these or eat them again but I rate them 3.5/5.

Dainty. Time-Wise. Mac and Cheese Review.

 

This is my first time trying this brand and today I'm trying the mac and cheese.

The smell is like melted sugar and flour, it's so gross and strange but the taste isn't as bad as the smell but it's like hospital food. If it didn't smell like that, it would've been a 3/5 but I would not buy this or eat it again and I rate it 1.5/5.

Nature Valley. Apple Crisp Crunchy Granola Bar Review.

 

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

I like the flavour, it has a nice apple crisp flavour and I enjoy the granola crumble with the apple but we all know these are messy and not practical to eat. I would not likely buy them again but maybe eat them again if offered and I rate them 3.5/5.

Bear. Strawberry Fruit Rolls Review.

 

I've done one other review from this brand (search it on my blog) and today I'm trying the strawberry fruit rolls. Sorry again I did not get a second photo, I don't know why I'm missing them from this post and the other post.

The texture is rough, more so than the previous flavour but rough not only as a describing word for the texture but rough as in unpleasant, it certainly has a vegan texture. The flavour is very muted but it is nice strawberry flavour and these are worse in texture than the other flavour, for some reason. I would not buy them or eat them again and I rate them 2/5

Ice Cream 2. Cookies n Cream Milkshake Review.

 

I've done quite a few reviews from this restaurant (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the cookies and cream milkshake. This is my first full milkshake in 5 years, I always have a bad time with milkshakes but I thought, hey my lactose intolerance has done some altering in recent years, so I wanted to see how it goes and surprisingly so far so good, compared the last few decades.

I think it was the milk I wasn't a fan of but I can't pinpoint exactly what it was it was ,that I did not like. It was very creamy, dairy forward and the cookie crumbs were chocolately and pretty good but overall I wasn't much of a fan. I would not buy it or drink it again but I rate it 3/5.
