Becky's Soda Bar. Strawberry Iced Matcha Review.

 

This is my first matcha drink, I have had matcha in snacks such as Pocky and Kit Kat but this is my first drink and I got the strawberry iced matcha. The Strawberry was lovely, good amount of sweetness and strawberry flavour. The matcha was like powdered grass, though not as strong as I thought it would be but I wasn't a fan, though my rating is better than the 0 I assumed I'd give it. I will also say my stomach hated it, so I will not be drinking anymore matcha but I rate it 2.5/5.

WTFun. Banana, Strawberry and Mango Fruit Cakes.

 

I popped in yesterday to try their version of the viral fruit cakes. The owner was so lovely, very sociable, friendly with a great vibe and smile. She is also very generous, as I will be honest in saying, she gifted me the banana dessert, when I purchased the other two, which is the first time I've ever experienced that and I was surprised and very grateful.

So I got the banana for free and I personally purchased the strawberry and mango ones and despite getting an item for free and the service being amazing, I will review the items honestly.

Banana: the banana flavour is good, not fake in taste and the texture inside is nice but something about it I did not like, it was almost earthy and almost bitter in taste and the outside was a bit too thick and waxy, I was not a fan of this one 2/5.

Strawberry: tasted like a strawberry shortcake, which is not a cake I enjoy but this was better than the cakes I've had. It was soft inside and out, the strawberry filling was a little tart and the texture was not for me personally. It had a thinner layer on the outside which I preferred and made it less waxy. This one also had an almost earthy and almost bitter taste to it. Overall it was alright 2.5/5.

Mango: the mango flavour was bright, fresh and delicious but this one did not sit well as we tried the other two, the inside got very mushy. The outside layer was a nice thickness, an in-between the other two. This also tasted similar to the other two in that way I did not enjoy but a bit better, masked by the delicious mango. I didn't love it but it was the best out of the three 3/5.

I found these cakes taste a lot like Middle Eastern milk cake that I've had before, which I do not enjoy but this was a bit more of a pleasant experience and I did like the fruit flavours, each fruit flavour was fresh and real but these overall were not to my taste personally. I would absolutely visit again to try other items but I would not buy anymore of these fruit cakes.

Chef Bombay. Butter Chicken Review.

 

I've done two other reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the butter chicken.

It's watered down and not very flavourful but the heat is there and it is nice. I felt the chicken was fine in taste and texture for frozen chicken and the rice was alright but I will admit I don't love basmati rice, as much as I am a butter chicken lover. This just wasn't really like butter chicken but it overall wasn't too bad. I wouldn't buy it again but maybe I'd eat it if offered and I rate it 3.5/5.

Ben's Original. Street Food. Bean and Rice Burrito Bowl Review.

 

I've done one other review from this brand (search it on my blog) and today I'm trying the bean and rice burrito bowl.

It tastes like canned rice and canned beans, with that weird flavour and smell you get from a lot of canned and packet foods, especially from the dollar store. There is a spice to it which is nice but no other flavours, you cannot even taste peppers or corn and it's also really dry. I would not buy it and only eat if I had to and I rate it 2/5.

Kraft Dinner Ramen. Medium Cheesy Ramen Review.

 

I've tried a few items from this brand and one other of the ramen for review (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the medium spice cheesy ramen.

It's better than the first one, I've though learned after this second try, do not overmix it and do not let it sit too long, as the texture and taste is more rough when it gets overmixed and even lukewarm. I will say it tastes better, it doesn't taste as ramen packety, less salty in flavour and the little spice is good, I think the spice was needed. I still did not enjoy this flavour and texture wise, it's still strange. I would not buy it or eat it again and I rate it 2/5.

Meiji. White Chocolate Strawberry Ice Cream Bar Review.

 

I've done one other review from this brand (search it on my blog) and today I'm trying the white chocolate strawberry ice cream bar. (Sorry I lost the photo of the cross-section but the inside is strawberry ice cream with strawberry pieces, like the pieces on the outside.)

This bar is delicious, it's now one of my all-time favourite ice cream. The white chocolate shell has a good flavour, it's great in texture and not too thick like some other brands of bars and the white chocolate pairs great with the strawberry ice cream and pieces. The strawberry ice cream and pieces have a great fruity and fresh flavour that have a good amount of sweetness and are not too tart. This is a great flavour combination and overall a a delicious bar, this bar is up there with the strawberry shortcake crunch. I of course would buy these and eat them again and I rate them 5/5.

Midnight Snack. Swedish Candy Review.

 

This is my first time trying Swedish candy, this candy has been going viral for a while and I am late to the party but finally found a place near me that does them. I got a mixed bag but sadly it didn't contain the sour strawberry bites I wanted to try, they do sell those buy in bags on their own and for the price I wasn't sure if I was ready to commit to a whole bag, in case I didn't like them but I might grab them anyway next time I'm over there.

Blue tube: it was salty yet sugary, tasted like chemicals and froot loops, tough with too firm of a texture and it was not nice to bite .5/5.

Brown and yellow Bubs: it was like a marshmallow but more foamy, firm and spongy and tasted like the chocolate banana marshmallows from Dare 3.5/5.

Mushrooms: it had a nice foamy marshmallow texture but more marshmallow than the Bubs, it tastes like cotton candy and bubblegum and I really liked it despite not being much of a bubblegum person 4/5.

Red and yellow skull: it was like a gummy meets taffy texture, it's a bit sour and the flavour is like a raspberry lemonade but the lemon is a bit like cleaner, like chemicals but not too bad 3/5.

Pink Bubs: it was bubble gum, with a fine texture, the same as the previous Bubs foamy, firm and spongey 3/5.

Rose gummy: It tasted like rose hand soap but not too bad surpassingly, texturally it was nice and soft and juicy 3/5.

Brownish yellow Bubs: It was sour at first then not sour, tasted almost like root beer with lemon 3/5.

Light greenish blue Bubs: It tasted like foam sunscreen, with the texture being foamy as the other Bubs and that made the flavour even worse, as you think you're eating sunscreen, it was awful 0/5.

Orange and green Bubs: It was apple or strawberry, meets maybe orange, with a nice texture, chewy but a bit squishy and soft 3.5/5.

Pink and blue skull: It was tangy, a little sour and the flavour was cotton candy and bubble gum, I enjoyed the flavour and it had a nice texture, a bit foamy and soft, like the other skull and I really liked it 4/5.
