Sanlip Custard Soboro Bread 카스타드 소보루 – Grocery Review

One of the important functions of this site is for me to remember what I don’t want to eat again, and this Samlip custard cream soboro bread bun was particularly bad and uninspiring.

It featured a semi-pineapple bun like exterior, however was damp and soft and not at all crispy or craggly.

The bread had a slightly bitter flavour and the custard filling was in reality much less substantial than what was pictured on the packaging.

I truly could not recommend this. Ever. Please avoid it.

Bestore Angus Crispy Beef (Spicy Flavour) 良品铺子 澳洲 安格斯薄脆牛肉香辣味 – Grocery Review

This beef jerky was very thin and crispy, with a natural-tasting beef flavour, a little salt, but not much else in terms of seasoning – generally flavoured in more of a Western style compared to most Chinese jerkies. Allegedly spicy but imperceptibly so.

The thinness, allegedly at 1mm a slight, I thought was a bit overboard, in that it actually became sharp enough to be uncomfortable when poking the oral mucosa.

For these reasons I wouldn’t get it again.

Bestore Braised Pork Jerky  良品铺子 醇香老卤肉干 – Grocery Review

I’m posting this outside of the usual posting order because I have nothing particularly meaningful to say about this pork jerky.

I remember eating it, and I remember thinking that I wouldn’t want to eat it again. I’m simply posting to remind future me of this.

Why does my local Asian grocery store not stock Kirbat?

Daliyuan Pie 达利园·派 巧克力味涂饰蛋糕 – Grocery Review

I truly cannot believe how terrible this is. It is so dry and crumbly, too sweet, similar in quality to Ülker Halley’s (Turkish) variant, and overall inferior to both competing choco pie products from Orion and Lotte.

The worst part was that I had to buy a whole bag of them. 10 for $6, even more expensive than Lotte, and coming close to Orion prices.

The Chinese domestic market simply cannot compete in some regards, which explains why I’ve never seen this in Australia before now, and will never buy it again.

The Koreans simply do it better.

Seaworld Fried Baby Crab Chips 티각태각 꽃게부각

I went out of my way between night shfits looking for some deep fried mini shrimp heads to bring to work, but could only find these deep fried baby crabs.

As deep fried baby crabs go, these certainly did the job. They had quite a nice seafoody umami taste, though were quite oily and would be really at the apex of any food pyramid as a sometimes only treat.

The only bad thing about them is how slightly freaky the little crab bodies look. I recommend first having a few with your eyes closed, so that you can enjoy them before you look at them.
