More sweet treats from Marks & Spencer

Just felt like some dessert so went to Marks and Spencers for some yoghurt and ended up buying other items as well.

Strawberry fruit fool:


I always had this as a kid but I never really looked at the label to see what it was made of.
Basically the strawberry fruit fool is Strawberries mixed with whipped cream.
It has a lovely light whipped texture with a natural strawberry taste, great on a summers day.

Cider fizz with a hint of spice:
Cider cocktail flavoured with nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves.

I don't drink, but this tasted really nice.
It tastes just as good as appletiser (formerly known as appletise in the early 1980s) but it has a sweeter taste with fragrant spices from the nutmeg and cinnamon.
I wouldn't mind drinking this again because the alcohol volume is quite low.

Salted caramel & Hazelnut Luxury yoghurt:




I couldn't quite taste the salted caramel, but I loved it because it was thick and it had a lot of crushed nuts in it with the usual tartness of yoghurt.

Fine Cakes @ Fine Foods

I have always wanted to try the cakes from Fine Foods but East Tsim Sha Tsui is too far and inconvenient.

They had a counter at Hang Hau so I bought some cakes from there.

Initially I did not know they were Fine Foods because I went over thinking they were selling English foods until I went to the counter.

 

 

The cake selection was not that British because I was expecting the cakes that you would find at Teakha even thought I still havent been yet..

 

The cakes at the stall were exactly the same ones at Tsim Sha Tsui.

In the end I chose the strawberry yogurt and the green tea and mango.
I ate the strawberry one first because the taste was lighter.

strawberry yogurt cake

 

This was the favourite of the two because the yogurt tasted natrual and light, the texture was silky mousse with soft sponge at the bottom.

green tea and mango

 

I am not fan of mango but got this because I wanted to try the green tea.
There was a layer of green tea that had a truffle/praline texture which I really liked.

Spicy Herbs Scone & Muesli Lemon Aloe Jelly Yogurt Cup @ STARBUCKs

After trying the new drinks I saw some other snacks I wanted to get. So I went to Starbucks again to get the Petites Cup and the Muesli with Lemon Aloe Jelly Yogurt Cup.

The Petites Cup is a cup of bitesize snacks, $22 for five pieces. There are five flavours which can be mixed and matched.

 

The five flavours are (NEW) Spicy Herbs Scone, (NEW) Almond Finger, Double Chocolate Cookie, Chocolate Chips Cookie and Cheese Puff.

On my first visit at the WanChai branch I asked for three pieces of the new spicy herb scone and two pieces of the Cheese Puff, however they gave the Almond Finger instead .
So I went to the Sai Kung branch and just got the cheese puffs and the Lemon Aloe Jelly Yogurt Cup.

Spicy Herbs Scone

 

It does not look spicy but the taste was really strong, there is an aftertaste as well.
Bascially I could taste heavy grounded black pepper and pesto.
The scone itself was really dry and hard.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Almond Finger

 

I didnt intend to try this because they gave me this instead of the cheese puffs I ordered.
Initially I thought it was weird there was almond on top but after I checked online it appears they've given me the almond finger.
The Almond finger was really sweet and too buttery for my liking. It was quite greasy as well.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cheese puffs

 

 

These are savory cheese flavoured profiteroles but I found them tasteless. The cheese could not be tasted at all.
It was just buttery. However inside the puff you can see some slight cheese.

Muesli with Lemon Aloe Jelly Yogurt Cup
Tried mixing the elements together which tasted nice and also tried the elements individually.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Muesli
This is the ordinary breakfast muesli with raisins, oats and cornflakes which was quite sweet on its own because of the raisins.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yogurt
After trying the muesli I tried the yogurt which was natural yogurt and it was quite sweet because the muesli was sweet so the yogurt is normally meant to taste sour after you've had sweet things but it wasnt, so the yogurt was obviously quite sweet.
However it was quite refreshing because there was pieces of aloe in it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lemon Jelly

 

 

This was really refreshing and I wish there was slightly more jelly in the cup.
