Lay's. Mexican Tomato Chicken Flavour Chips Review.



So I have done recently two Lay's reviews (search them on my blog) and this is the third and final (for now anyway) review on Lay's chips.

This is Mexican tomato chicken flavour and I liked the sound of them so I wanted to try them for review. They are an interesting texture and they taste like tomato paste meets a semi sweet BBQ sauce. I'm not crazy about them but they were an alright bite, I would eat them if offered but I wouldn't buy them again. I rate them 2.5/5.

Lay's. Kimchi Flavour Chips Review.



So I recently did a Lay's cucumber chip review (you can search it on my blog) and today I'm reviewing the kimchi flavoured chips.

I didn't really look at the picture on the bag so when I found out they were ripple chips, I was so excited haha. I love either chip textures but I'm sometimes craving a ripple chip.

I like kimchi, if it's not TOO spicy haha, I'm a sensitive white person with a digestive disorder. I know the amount of spice varies from dish to dish or person to person but these chips were a good spice amount and they were pretty good flavour wise. I would eat them if offered but I'm not sure if I would buy them again. I rate them 3.5/5.

Phoenix Cuisine. Beef and Veggies Review.



I have done a review once before for Phoenix (search it up on my blog) where I try sweet and sour pork. There I have also done the review of the rice, this review will just be for the beef and veggies.

So things went so well the first time that I got food from them again but this time I'm trying to beef and veggies. I'm honestly a little bummed about the choice of veggies they use for this dish. I'm happy about the onions and carrots but I wanted sweet peppers, instead I got water chestnuts and celery. The beef looks PALE AF, literally me in meat form haha. I found the beef was a let down, such a shame. I would not consider this dish again, I rate it 2.5/5.

Delissio Pizzeria Vintage. Chicken Parmesan Pizza Review.




I'm not sure if I've done other Delissio pizza's on my blog but this is a popular brand and I had not yet tried this specific one, so I thought I would for review.

I'm not crazy about chicken parm overall and was nervous to eat it in pizza form.

It honestly wasn't THAT bad, I wasn't crazy about it like I thought. There was something about this pizza that I didn't like but I couldn't put my finger on it. It honestly wasn't that bad but I wouldn't buy it myself, only to eat it if I had to. Each of the toppings were important to this pizza and some bites were better than others but overall I couldn't place what was off about it to me. Though I can admit I did find the crust a pretty good part, it was seasoned well when most pizza crusts aren't seasoned at all. I rate it 2.5/5.

Japanese Macrons Review.



So I had picked up some Japanese macrons, I don't know how true it is to what you can buy in Japan but I picked these up at a Chinese supermarket. 

These aren't like regular macrons, the texture is a lot different. These macrons are like cakey and thick. 

I got chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. They were each so awful, they lacked so much cream and were all stuck together. I have never eaten something so dry in my life, the chocolate was the worst, then the vanilla and the strawberry was the "best". I would def never get them again. I rate the chocolate 0/5, the vanilla .5/5 and the strawberry 1/5.

Breakfast Blues & BBQ's Review.





So I went for a birthday lunch to this restaurant. I admit I didn't look much over their menu but I decided on the meatloaf before I went.

This meatloaf is a pork and beef blend but I personally prefer just beef. This plate came with a side and I chose mashed and coleslaw, also I added a side of gravy (can't forget the gravy).

The meatloaf was alright, it was real soft and I didn't need more than just my fork to eat it. I could really tell the contrast between the pork and beef, I wasn't crazy about it, the texture of the meatloaf as well I wasn't too crazy about personally, I'm kinda weird about textures haha. I didn't hate it but I wouldn't order it again. I rate it 3/5.

The mashed was very plain but tasted pretty good for an unseasoned mashed, that I just smothered in gravy. Without the gravy I rate it 3/5.

The gravy was rather good and I'm a sucker for gravy, it's probably my favourite sauce (next to sweet Thai chili lol) and It was great on both the mashed and the meatloaf, it really helped the dishes along. I rate the gravy 4/5.

The coleslaw I leave for last, people feel so divided by coleslaw and most people I know hate it. I don't mind coleslaw personally, so I just ate mine instead of wasting it. I find coleslaw doesn't smell great but it tasted alright, not my favourite coleslaw to be honest, the more I ate it the more tired of it I became lol. I rate it 2.5/5.

This was a cute little place to eat, the server was lovely and it was overall a good time. I would go back, as I was eyeing the banana bread french toast haha.

Lay's. Cucumber Chips Review.



I went into a Chinese supermarket and I picked up 3 Lay's flavours I have not yet tried, I did skip the Wasabi and the rest were of regular flavours (or so I recall). Today I'm reviewing the cucumber chips.

The woman at the register said they were good but exotic.

These chips honestly taste as stated, like cucumbers. This is a very fresh cucumber taste, it's odd how you can almost taste how crisp and damp it is, yet the chip is dry. It's a different flavour of chip than one is used to but it's not too bad a flavour. I think I prefer actual cucumbers to these chips as the concept is weird to my brain haha. I would not buy them again but eat them again if I were offered. I rate them 3/5.

Quaker Chewy. Mermaid Bar Review.




I saw an ad on April Fools Day for this mermaid chewy bar, I didn't think anything of it until I saw the ads after the holiday and it came alive when I saw them in store and I picked them up for review.

They are a cool idea, the design and overall look is funky but the flavour doesn't taste like much. These bars don't hold a memorable flavour, it was kinda empty and was lacking SOMETHING I don't know what but something. It wasn't textured enough or was sweet enough. I don't know if I would get them again with how lackluster they were but I'd eat them if offered haha they aren't THAT bad. I rate them 2.5/5.

Delcato. Vegetarian Falafel Review.







So I've never had falafel before, it always sounded so good to me and I decided to try this out. I don't actually know what non vegetarian falafel is, I thought all falafel was vegetarian but if anybody could let me know that would be great thanks!

This falafel came with a tahini sauce, which I had never had before either.

The sauce was not good, I disliked it and it tasted like celery water to me, I rate it 0/5.

The falafel was really dry and despite how good it smelled prior and after cooking, it was rather tasteless for something I thought would have spices in it or more spices. I did try it plain and also with BBQ sauce cause it was THAT dry and I hated the tahini too much to eat it with it, I also didn't have any other sauces or hummus I was reading I could've paired with the falafel. Well the BBQ sauce just helped it go down easier and wasn't too bad a combo, though I'm sure someone out there will say BBQ sauce is blasphemous haha, sorry.  I would not buy this again, it was a struggle to eat and I still have half the box left to snack on. I rate it 1/5.

Phoenix Cuisine. Sweet and Sour Pork, Vegetable Fried Rice & Chicken Wonton Soup Review.







So I'm always up for finding a new Chinese place, most of the ones I've eaten weren't that great or did something to screw up me wanting to get from them again, so I was on the hunt for another place to order from.

So I found this place Phoenix cuisine and decided to try out the sweet and sour pork, vegetable fried rice and chicken wonton soup.

The rice was the best I've had thus far compared to other restaurants I've had. I found it lacked a little something but they didn't sell sweet and sour sauce on the side but overall I was happy with this rice and I rate it 4.5/5.

The sweet and sour pork was the best I've had too, I'm not even kidding it was nicely sauced and it was still crispy which I loved! OH AND THE BEST PART It was more meat than veggies which I have never seen a Chinese place do, usually it's 80% veggies but this time it was mostly meat, so so so so happy about that! I would order it again and again for sure! I rate it 5/5.

The chicken wonton soup was a good serving size for 4 bucks and it tasted pretty good, I find the one at King's Buffet is better but this is easily my second favourite, the broth doesn't smell the greatest but flavour wise it was all good! I would consider getting it again if I was craving wonton soup, I rate it 4/5.

Tim Hortons. Chicken Sandwich Review.



I saw a few signs for this new chicken sandwich for 1.99 which is a really good price for a sandwich but it also makes me nervous how good of a sandwich it would be.

It honestly tasted better than I thought it would but dry needed more mayo and would've been good with tomato and maybe even some bacon on it. But for the sandwich as it was it wasn't that bad and for that price is was great, I don't mind a quick and cheap bite. I would get it again if it was something I was craving but I'm never crazy about breaded chicken sandwiches lol. I rate it 3.5/5.

Lay's Sea Salt & Vinegar Poppables Review.



I have tried before the plain poppables and they were just okay, I did not do them though for review I don't think. These poppables are sea salt and vinegar.

The texture is weird, I don't really like that but the flavour is good, I don't think I would eat them again as the texture is just ODD to me haha, I rate them 3/5.

Nugateau. Rosabelle Eclair Review.


There is a new eclair shop at the mall where I was visiting and I normally don't eat eclair's if I have ever had one, I don't even recall haha but this place was recommended by my good friend and we went in.

We wracked our brain over which one to share, we decided on the Rosabelle eclair.

Each item on this eclair was edible even the rose, which I ate hahaha. Sadly this 7 dollar eclair was AWFUL, the flower itself was better. It had a gross jelly filling, this was like a very perfumy bite that tasted so bad. Like flowers and soap, the aftertaste was bad too. I didn't know what to expect but this was so sad, not worth it at all. I rate it 0/5. I don't know if I'd go back to try the other flavours as they are each 7 bucks but they did have other items I'd try besides eclairs, I don't know when I'm going next into the city I was in but we will see in the future.

Tim Hortons. French Toast Breakfast Sandwich Review.



So I will say right away that this sandwich was BURNT, I'm pretty sure it's not meant to be burnt but it was, oh boy was it ever.

So I will try to review this besides the fact that it's burnt, I would only include that in my rating if they were meant to be burnt because I know not every time I'd ordered this it would be.

So this is a french toast breakfast sandwich. It is the fixins of a regular breakfast sandwich between two french toast, instead of a biscuit or English muffins like it's usually on. You can order the sausage or bacon, since I didn't actually order this myself I didn't get to pick the bacon like I wanted and ended up with sausage.

I will tell you now, it's an odd combo of sweet and salty but not in a good way. I have never been crazy about their sausage and I'm still not with this sandwich. The french toast could be good, on it's own but in this sandwich it wasn't good, there was and odd amount of sweet that clashed with the salty and there was more salty than anything. I would not eat this again, even with the bacon instead of sausage. I rate this 2/5, I was going to say 0/5 but I did still like the egg and cheese, they are always good parts of a breakfast sandwich.

Triscuit Thin Crisps. Parmesan Garlic Cracker Review.



So I enjoy a good Triscuit cracker, my favourite was the applewood smoked but sadly they no longer sell them. I love the texture of these crackers over regular crackers. I had never tried the thin crisps, or that I recall so I decided to get a box.

This is the parmesan garlic ones, I normally love this flavour but sadly this cracker was AWFUL. I tried it with and without spinach dip, as I like dips with my crackers some times but I guess we will leave the spinach dip for other crackers, chips and breads.

Anyway, as I was saying this cracker was AWFUL, the flavour and smell of the parmesan was so gross, it was almost skunky, I'm not sure. I couldn't even finish them, that's how bad it was and I don't often waste but luckily they went to someone else and I didn't have to toss em. I would certainly never get them again, I rate them .5/5, I would've said 0 but the texture of the cracker is still pleasant and I'm not completely turned off from Triscuit crackers :D.

Tim Hortons Chicken Strip Review.



I saw Tim Hortons now had chicken strips, which is kinda odd to me but I of course wanted to try them for review.

So it was not a great experience even from the start, 3 of them cost 6 bucks 6 BUCKS and if you see by my pictures they are so small in size and I already felt they weren't worth that much.

Upon eating the chicken strips I found they were so sad, literally the saddest chicken strip I have ever eaten. It lacked flavour, seemed a bit over-cooked on the outside and had barely any chicken compared to breading. These chicken strips are even sadder than frozen ones you get at the grocery store. I would not get them again, what a rip off. I rate them .5/5.

Mary Brown's. Macaroni and Cheese Review.


So I have posted previously two other Mary Brown's review (search it on my blog) and when I had went the second time for the Sweet Mary's, I had at the same time ordered a macaroni.


This is what the sign showed, macaroni salad and when I went up to order it made a fool of myself not knowing they know longer have this salad but a macaroni and cheese salad, I was not thrilled as I wanted the other macaroni salad.

Anyway I thought I'd try it out anyway fine why not? It overall wasn't too bad, better than I thought since I've had an interesting experience each time I order from Mary Brown's, it's probably the only good thing on their menu, knowing I have only had one of their desserts, their wedges and their chicken. I would consider eating it again if I'm craving it, I rate it 3/5.

Paldo. Bibim Men. Korean Style Spicy Cold Noodle Review.




I have never had cold noodles, unless I left my hot noodles to get cold and not eat them right away haha. I have never had noodles that were meant to be eaten cold (unless it was a pasta salad) but I was excited to try it for review.

LET'S JUST SAY IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE.

I hated the texture of the cold noodles, I gagged a few times while I ate it. The flavour was spicy and wasn't a bad flavour but it was NOT GOOD of a texture and threw me right off. I would never eat it again, I rate it .5/5.

Now let's discuss how I also tried these cold noodles hot and I warn you now, DO NOT DO THAT. It was still an odd texture that was hard to eat, I didn't gag this time though but my stomach HATED me afterwards...this was probably a huge mistake. I took this gamble for the review to let you guys know what happens and it's bad REAL BAD, it also lacked flavour at this point, not as flavourful as the cold noodles. I rate it hot 0/5. The worst.

Mary Browns. Sweet Mary's Review.




So I have recently done a review on Mary Browns (search mary brown's on my blog) and I didn't think I'd be making another but here I am....there's actually one final one coming up stay tuned for that one haha.

This review I am trying out the sweet Mary's, they are a sweet dessert, cinnamon bites.

I hated them, it was so doughy and hard to eat. I'm not surprised they didn't turn out but I'm glad I still reviewed them. I would not eat them again I rate them 1/5.
