These drinks are from serbia, and they all taste sour with a strong apple juice base.

Berry juice drinks @ Panash
Got these drinks from Panash because they are not native drinks.
There were three flavours: Sour cherry, Clear blueberry nectar, and Strawberry and apple.
These drinks are from serbia, and they all taste sour with a strong apple juice base.

American festival @ Taste Supermarket
Taste is generally a good place to get international foods, although GREAT is much better.
They did an American Festival promotion, the American products I got were Cashew fruit juice, Coffee fruit juice, Pomegranite soda, chocolate cherries, and some other items, which were interesting too for this review.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CASHEW FRUIT JUICE:
Had an exotic fruit taste with some nutty sediment in it.
Apart from that the packaging was great!
The colour was cloudy peach.
Quoted from the website: http://www.onenaturalexperience.com/
The Cashew Fruit has two parts – the Fruit and the Nut.
The nut actually grows from the bottom of the “Cashew Apple.”
The Cashew Apple is an oval or pear-shaped fruit that develops from the receptacle of the cashew flower. Called the Cashew Apple, it ripens into a yellow and/or red fruit about 5–11 cm long.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
COFFEE FRUIT JUICE:
There was only a faint taste of coffee, more strong on the strawberry.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
HANSEN POMEGRANITE juice:
Nice concept, however this one was sugar free, hence I felt its sweetness tasted artificial.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES:
Apart from cherries, they also have blueberries, strawberries, almonds, cashews.
The chocolate covered cherries are nice and plump, about the size of a fresh cherry but flatter. The chocolate coating is a rich glossy brown.
The dark chocolate goes well with the sweet cherry, and neither elements overpower each other.
The cherries inside are dried sour cherries, with a center that is soft and moist with a nice tart flavor that contrasts well with the dark chocolate coating.
It is a bit like eating a chocolate covered raisin, however there is more bite to it due to the cherries size.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
PEARL ROYAL COCONUT:
I was so surprised they don’t sell coconut water in HK, they can be readily found in UK under the brand of Rubicon and in any indian/pakistani shops.
The similar products here usually contain young coconut pieces and sweetened to the extent that it is syrupy.
I really liked this design, a plastic young coconut with a carton inside.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BROCCOLI CHIPS:
These are vacuum fried broccoli, which just looks like dehydrated pieces of broccoili.
I suppose it is more interesting than eating crisps and just a tad healthier eating a real piece of veg than reconstituted fried potato.
Next time, I would like to experiment putting dried cheese powder on it resulting in cheese broccoili in snack form.
This thai product also does other snacks too such as banana chips, pineapple chips, taro chips, okra chips.
The packaging was done very nicely, very western appeal with all the nutritional values, and at least with perfect English too.

Barbie milkshake @ 生活創庫.隨食 Life Passion
The flyer for strawberry milkshake was very attractive, simple and shows what the milkshake contains.
Strawberries + Strawberries + Milk!
So this was the reason I got it. Fortress Hill has become fascinating, more and more joints are have opened here.
Anyway, I ordered the strawberry milkshake, and then saw another one with marshmallows, so I changed my order to that.
Taste wise, the strawberry wasnt that strong, infact a little fake, but I did see them put frozen strawberries in the blender, perhaps there wasnt that much strawberries as the flyer illustrated, and some strawberry syrup flavouring was added.
When I got the drink, I was given a matching pink straw, almost the same colour as the milkshake, how princess/barbie like!
Usually marshmallows are for toasting at bbqs, hot chocolates, and now as a topping for froyo, but for cold drinks this is a first.
The size of the marshmallows were rather big, you can see from the picture that they are bigger than the straws diameter.
There was some black dot on the marshmallow which I didnt know what it was, or I would have had a perfect white/pink picture.
Anyway, while I drank the milkshake, the marshmallows floated on top and increased in size, making it impossible to go through the straw, whilst it was impossible at the start anyway!!
Apart from the milkshakes, the other snacks seems interesting, which I should try someday, honey sandwich (spelt SandWISH) on their menu, and curry potato sandwich.
Although their meaning of SandWISH seems to be "piggy bun" in Chinese (round crusty bun)
Good points:
Cute
Bad points:
They should have smaller marshmallows that can fit through the straws, the drink was too sweet and lacked taste of real strawberries.

Strawberry kisses @ MOS
A fun wintery snack that I got from MOS burger for $39.9.
Usually, they are chocolate covered strawberries, but these are frozen strawberries that are filled with creamy white chocolate.
The whole packaging is very pretty, from the clear crystal shaped box to the crispy clear bag, both imported from Japan, and each strawberry is indvidually wrapped with a gold twist tie.
When I got box of strawberries, it contained an ice pack to keep the strawberries cold, I asked if they were to be eaten straight away or defrosted, and the guy said they are supposed to be eaten straight away.
Anyway, undid the cute gold twist ties and popped one of the strawberries in my mouth, and my mouth was numbed by the coldness of the strawberry. It was rock hard too@!
Slowly I could taste the strawberry and the sweet creamy filling.
Although it is recommended to eat them straight away, I let them thaw for a while and ate it to compare the taste.
It tasted much better slightly thawed, the texture of the strawberry was slighly slushy with the ice cold filling oozing out, and as it wasnt so frozen you can get a more impactful taste of the strawberry tartness and sweet white chocolate creamy taste.
Interesting variations of MOS products in Taiwan, Singapore and Japan.
