Tam tams Onion Crackers

Tam Tams Onion crackers have a distinct onion taste. Reminds you of sour cream lays and wont get that addictive like chips.

Chicken Helper Fried rice

It was very salty, so couldnt have much of it. A reviewer suggested using half the seasoning in one go or if you already cooked it all, then you can do what I did. Mix it with some white rice, to make it palatable.

Capital Teas Cream Earl Grey Black Tea

I had the Capital Teas Cream Earl Grey Black Tea with milk and sugar. Before adding sugar, the vanilla in it made it smell sweet like caramel. When I sipped it, it definitely needed sugar. After a sips or two, the overpowering saccharine smell diminshed, when I could really being to enjoy the tea. As I kept having it, I felt like I was in a garden eating some flowers, not that I have done something like it before (but how tasting a flower which smells so would be) but that the smoothness and complexity of this tea is in its waltz of taste and smell synesthesia. Oolong tea has never caught me. But I look forward to trying more Earl grey teas.

Better Oats Plain Grain

Plain grain oatmeal measuring cup  pouch comes with a plastic inner lining which can withstand the moisture of the water while you measure it out. The oatmeal after microwaved had a hearty, wholesome flavour with its full oat form. I added some raisins and little milk. And the already included flax made me do a mental note of using up the flax in the pantry in similar ways.

Pastariso Mac and Yellow Cheeze

Mac and Cheese cooked easily and maintained its shape. But it didnt take the cheese flavour very well. May be its  because of the gluten free.

Knorr Asian sides Chicken Fried Rice

The rice comes with pasta mixed in it.  The peanut, sesame chicken flavours were not strong. When I ate it with asparagus curry, I could feel some peanut flavour.

Pocky Biscuit Stick, Matcha Green Tea

Duncan Hines Pink Velvet Buttery Vanilla Flavor cake

The mix looks creamish white, but once you start adding butter, you see the pink colour start to show. The cupcakes are pillows of air.

Boondi Mithai

A friend got a box of variety of sweets from East Godavari. It had pootharekulu, kakinada kaaja, palakova and this block made with boondi and jaggery that I had never seen before.

Taste peaks

The first bite was honey sweet, then granola wave then a recall of ohoy's chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips. For all the healthy attire, the thins have taste. The fig tinies can get sticky. I do not like the fig crisps of Newtons but I liked this. But the price, for the new fangled fig looking packaging is unbelievable. I did rather buy dried figs from Sprouts and feel lot more healthy and righteous.

Nestle Malted Milk

Nestle Malted Milk tastes just like  Horlicks  but not as deep and does not form lumps.

Pejoy Biscuit stick

We usually keep trying different brands and flavours of Pirouette. They make for very good snacks and look cool too with their long, rolled shape. I have never heard of Pocky before which looks like a sparkler firework. The pejoy sticks are very interesting with their cross look of a pretzel stick but with a pirouette's soul. Lots of options, you can play pick up sticks with them, if you want to earn your pejoy and eat it too. There is a malt craze going on with Arnott's Tim Tam and the pejoy stick. The Dansk brand white chocolate pirouette are thinner than usual, but this pejoy takes it way further with the thinness of the stick and still keeps the joy of finding chocolate inside. I will try if it can do the Tim Tam Slam challenge of working like a straw. They dont make you feel heavy, and the running man logo on the pack is sure to remind you, what next to do, should you overdo the snacks like it happens with crunchy, chocolaty things in life. Some packets have more broken...

Arnotts Tim Tam

As kids, biscuits were treat but cream biscuits like Bourbon with its cream in between and white crystals of sugar on the chocolaty brown cookie top was a super treat. Now everybody knows, how kids eat those cream biscuits. Split them into two and savour the cream in between. With Tim Tam's you dont have have to split and choose which side to start with.. no matter how you slice it, there's chocolate all over.. seems like a solution of mathematical problem.. but first things first.. you cant escape the chocolate and its not for the faint of heart.. who are happy with a hint of chocolate like in wafers. Personally its too sweet for me, I would stop with half, but the texture of soft chocolate and crumbly cookie.. is bound to rake up memories like the Madeleine did to Proust Review based on Complimentary product from bzzagent
