Ottogi. Spicy Jin Ramen Review.

 

This is my first time having Jin ramen, it is a very popular ramen but it took me a while to get around to it, I am grabbing the spicy first as they did not have the mild in stock where I went. This is probably my first Korean style instant ramen.

It is quite a bit spicy, as the package states but it was still edible and I really enjoy the flavour, one of the nicer instant ramen I've had. With a nice noodle texture, good spicy broth and nice addition with the veggie flakes. I would buy it and eat it again and I rate it 4/5.

Joyburst. Vanilla Ice Energy Drink Review.

 

I've so far tried one or two other products from this brand but this is the first one I'm posting for review. This is the Vanilla Ice flavour, in collab with artist Vanilla Ice.

It doesn't taste much like vanilla to me, it tastes like cherry for some reason but also medicine-like and it's not great but I liked it the more I drank it. I would not buy this again but I'd may drink it if offered and I rate it 3.5/5.

Crave. Soy Garlic Beef Noodles Review.

 

I've done many reviews from this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the soy garlic noodles with beef.

I've finally come to admit I don't like soy sauce, I have tried it many times in different dishes and it always falls flat, from frozen to restaurant to made for me. 

As I do not like soy sauce, this sucked so bad, it was almost inedible, it is just a pure soy sauce flavour and smell with a little garlic. The meat crumble was squishy, damp and weirdly textured with no flavour. Only the two vegetables and the noodles were good but I would not buy this or eat it again and I rate it 1.5/5.

Egg Roll King. Shrimp Rice, Spring Rolls and More Review.

 

I have not been to this restaurant in 19 years, at the time I only had their spring rolls and they were delicious. I am finally trying them again to compare the spring rolls of the past and trying a few other items. I apologize the two cross-section photos I took, I took in my room and the lighting was terrible.

Shrimp fried rice: it was really good, it had that good fried rice taste and texture and the shrimp had a good snap to it and wasn't too fishy tasting. I would likely buy it and eat it again and I rate it 4/5.

Spring rolls: they are even better than I remembered, these are the best spring rolls I've ever had. They have a great crisp on it and a delicious filling. I want to get more already, I of course would buy and eat them again and I rate them 4.5/5.

Chicken balls: they were a bit too toasted for my liking and the breading was a bit dry and too thick but the chicken was good and went well with the sauce. I don't know if I'd buy them again but I'd eat them if offered and I rate them 3.5/5

Sweet and sour sauce: I enjoyed the sauce, as it's not as sweet as other places.

Sweet and sour pork: it was not too chewy (at least most of the pieces) and it tasted alright. I don't know if I'd buy it again but I'd maybe eat it if offered and I rate it 3/5.

Redbull. The Spring Edition. Cherry and Sakura Review.

I've done a few reviews for this brand (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the cherry and sakura.

It's so lovely but doesn't taste like cherry to me, it tastes like apples and sakura which is a lightly sweet and floral flavour. I am so surprised with how much I like it. I would absolutely buy it and drink it again and I rate it 4/5.

Circle K. Cookies, Bacon Cheeseburger and More Review.

This is my first time buying food from Circle K, I have only been in one once to grab a bottled drink and I was excited to finally try their food. I was really hoping to try the pizza but they were sold out when I went, I also did not get to try the breakfast sandwiches or pretzels like I also had my eye on but I did get a chance to try 11 items.

Chocolate chip cookie: it tastes like dirty sawdust it's so bad I couldn't even finish it 0/5.

White macadamia cookie: tasted alright I've had better ones but it was fine 3/5.

Oatmeal raisin cookie: it was really good though the flavour is a little lackluster 4/5.

Fudge brownie cookie: its boring in flavour but has a weird taste to it 2.5/5. I am pretty sure it's fudge brownie, I did not read the sign but that's what I read online.

Spicy beef patty: discovered it's just Patty King which are sold at the grocery store. The edges were so is dry and hard almost like a rock, it's skimped on the filling but had a nice spice and good flavour 3.5/5.

Chicken sandwich: it was hot and soggy, weirdly textured on the chicken and bun. It was dry and I found it boring but not the worst, the pickles though were pretty good but also soggy. I did add mayo after I took the photo, it did help but not enough 3/5.

Hashbrown: were pretty good, nothing to write home about and not too greasy but I'll be honest I just don't love hashbrowns and usually don't choose them 3.5/5.

Burger: it was a rough experience, the cheese was awful and the taste, smell and texture ruined the burger and the texture of the bun was soggy, weird and wrinkly. I will say the burger patty itself wasn't bad and the bacon was fine but this was probably the worst burger I've had 1.5/5.

Polish sausage: was delicious, nice flavour and chew but not as good as others I've had 4/5. Yes I put ketchup on my sausages, cry about it haha.

Cheesy pepper jack tornado: it's spicy and tastes really good, I felt the spice overtook it. I also enjoyed the feel, crunch and texture of it 4/5.

Ranchero beef steak and cheese tornado: cheesy and meaty, a bit less spicy than the other one, though still spicy and really good 4/5.

Crave. Pesto Ravioli with Spicy Sausage Review.

 

I've done many reviews from this brand and quite a few pesto reviews, for someone that doesn't really like pesto (search them on my blog) and today I'm trying the pesto ravioli with spicy Italian sausage.

The pesto sauce was pretty good, the sausage was delicious though barely spicy but the ravioli was so firm and tough, it ruined the whole dish. I would not buy this again but I'd eat it if offered and I rate it 3/5.
