Product Detail: Unif Milk Tea Premium Assam Milk Tea (500mL)
Product Price: £ 1.25 (varies prices across the UK Stores)

So basically I bought this milk tea because I was craving for Hong Kong Milk Tea. However, I ended up getting addicted to this drink and whenever I'm inside the Chinese supermarket, I ended up getting one bottle. So far this is one of the best milk tea (in bottles) that I can get in the UK. I know that everyone in Asia can get this Taiwan branded milk tea, 纯萃喝  but I cannot find it anywhere here (even in London).  

Ingredients: 
Water, Sugar, Non - diary Creamer, Glucose Syrup, Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Sodium Caseinate (Milk), Milk Powder, Stabiliser (E340 (ii)), Emulsifier (E471), Anticaking Agent (E551), Acidity Regulator (E331), Stabiliser (E425(i)), Emulsifier (E471, E472e)(20%), Skimmed Milk Powder (10%), Black Tea Leaves (2%), Antioxidant (E316), Raising Agent (E500(iii)), Emulsifier (E450(ii), E452(ii)), Flavouring

Product Evaluation (1 = poor, 3 = average, 5 = good)
Taste: 4/5
Sweetness: 2/5 (Very sweet)
Flavour: 4/5 (Very sweet of assam tea along with milky flavour)
Aftertaste: 4/5 (Sweet flavouring with a scent of assam tea and milk)
Value for Money degree: 4/5 (A reasonable price, since you could get a cup of milk tea for about £ 2.50 from a milk tea store in town)
Overall: 4/5 (I'm technically addicted to this one)


I know this may not be the BEST milk tea, but for now I will stick to this until I found a new milk tea brand that will get me addicted.


Do you enjoy Original Milk Tea or other flavourings ?


Product Details;
Left: NF Spring Grapefruit Jasmine Tea with TOP art illustration (500mL)
Right: NF Spring Peach Oolong Tea with G-Dragon art illustration (500mL)
Product Origin: China 
Product Company Official Website: NongFu China

This is one of the unexpected drink products that I will buy for a price of £ 1.69.
However, I still ended up buying them to try out because of Big Bang was printed on their bottle's labels.

So here are my opinions on both products.

Product Review;
Left: NF Spring Grapefruit Jasmine Tea with TOP art illustration

Ingredients:
Water, Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Jasmine Tea (5%), Concentrated Juice (Grapefruit, Pomelo (4%)), Acidity Regulator (E330, E331), Flavouring
*E330 = Citric Acid, E331 = Sodium citrates (i), Monosodium citrate (ii), Disodium citrate (iii) Sodium citrate (trisodium citrate)* 

This drink contain a strong flavouring of grapefruit and jasmine tea.
When unscrewing the bottle, a strong smell of grapefruit was released. Since they used the grapefruit concentration, the artificial taste of the grapefruit does not give out the bitter aftertaste whereas a layer of waxy can be feel on the tongue after drinking the juice.
This drink itself tasted quite artificial but it is not very sweet and might taste a bit like spring water + flavouring.

Product Evaluation (1 = poor, 3 = average, 5 = good)
Taste: 3/5
Sweetness: 3/5
Flavour: 4/5 (Great combination of grapefruit and jasmine tea)
Aftertaste: 2/5 (I do not like the aftertaste, my tongue feels like it's coated with a layer of wax)
Value for Money degree: 3/5 (I think it's quite expensive, but I still bought it because of my 'Big Bang OPPA')
Overall: 3/5 (If you like it you will get addicted, if you hate it you will just pour it down the sink)

Product Review;
Right: NF Spring Peach Oolong Tea with G-Dragon art illustration (500mL)

Ingredients:
Water, Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Oolong Tea (6%), Concentrated Peach (3%), Acidity Regulator (E330, E331), Flavouring
*E330 = Citric Acid, E331 = Sodium citrates (i), Monosodium citrate (ii), Disodium citrate (iii) Sodium citrate (trisodium citrate)*


This drink contain a strong flavouring of peach and Oolong tea.
When unscrewing the bottle, a strong smell of peachy flavouring was released. Since they used the peach concentration, the artificial taste of the peach gave out a fruity flavouring and the aftertaste is refreshing with additional fruity taste.
This drink itself tasted quite addictive and it is quite sweet due to the peach flavouring and will mixed with the Oolong tea.

Product Evaluation (1 = poor, 3 = average, 5 = good)
Taste: 3/5
Sweetness: 4/5 (Very sweet peach flavour)
Flavour: 4/5 (Great combination of peach and Oolong tea)
Aftertaste: 4/5 (Feels refreshing with the fruity taste, and a bit of strong peach flavour)
Value for Money degree: 3/5 (I think it's quite expensive, but I still bought it because of my 'Big Bang OPPA')
Overall: 4/5 (I prefer this one compared to the grapefruit flavour)



Product Name: Taekyung Instant Rice Cup Bulgogi Taste 85 Kg
Product Details: Instant Microwave Rice 
Official Website: Nongsan

I came across this instant rice with bulgogi taste while browsing through a Chinese supermarket in town recently and got a bit curious and bought 1box to try it out since one of my Korean friend was saying that it's pretty tasty.

As you can see the package above only contain instructions with Korean words.
I'm sorry if I misunderstood the given instructions since I learn my Korean language through dramas and online (self - taught). Anyway, as you can see this instant rice can be cooked either using microwave or by hot water.

The instructions provided.
Based on the picture above, there are 2 options provided.
I had only tried out the top instructions, which is the one using microwave. 

Please note that when using a Microwave with 700w,   
Cold Water (찬물): 4 minutes (4분)
Hot Water (뜨거운물): 3 minutes (3분)
When using a Microwave with 1000w,   
Cold Water (찬물): 3 minutes 30 seconds (3분 30초)
Hot Water (뜨거운물): 2 minutes 30 seconds (2분 30초)

Top Instructions

1. Open the package and removed the spoon and sauce.

2. Pour the bulgogi sauce into the instant box.

3. Pour the hot water until the line  provided inside the box.

4. Set the microwave time but since my microwave is 650w, I set it for 4 minutes.

5. FINALLY! After 4 minutes, my perfect Korean Meal is ready to be consumed.

Product Evaluation (1= poor, 3=average, 5=good)
Taste: 4/5
Saltiness: 4/5 (the sauce itself is salty)
Flavour: 4/5 (Great flavouring and matches the bulgogi flavour)
Aftertaste: 3/5 (A bit salty for me)
Value for Money: 3/5 (The portion size to be honest is a bit small and it is £ 2.09)
Product Overall: 3/5 (Great Packaging, Good illustrated instructions and taste instant meal but I felt that it's a bit salty for me) 
To be honest, I really enjoyed this Taekyung Instant Rice Cup Bulgogi Taste and after I finish it I was craving for it the next day but looking at the price sold in the supermarket just made me think again before purchasing it since it's quite pricy. 

That's all for now!

Dutch Pancakes in making...
Newcastle's International Christmas Market
Date: 19th November 2016 - 11 December 2016
Operating Time:
Monday - Wednesday: 9am - 8pm
Thursday - Saturday: 9am - 9pm
Sunday: 10am - 5pm

How to get there?
Location: Grey's Monument, Grey Street and Grainger Street

Been here for the past 3 years and the dutch pancake and churros stalls get me excited every year!
I don't mind the bloody cold weather + wind + rain, but when I get my dessert from this market, I'm a happy girls!

Holland Dutch Pancake Stall 
A small stall in the middle of the Christmas market (easily spotted since this stall always have a queue).
This is the menu along with the prices...
Small - 15 pieces
Large - probably 30 pieces (sorry I'm not very sure because I bought the small one)

While waiting for my pancakes, I saw this cute miniature displayed at the stall. 

Dutch pancake; 
Size: Small 
Topping: Nutella and maple syrup

Me and my friend enjoying our dutch pancakes!
*yummy*

My Ratings
Taste: 9/10 (great combination and it doesn't taste very sweet with the toppings)
Value for Money: 6/10 (well, 15 small pieces of pancakes for £ 3.50...)
Recommend Degree: 8/10 (you will get addicted to this once you try them!)

Spain Dessert: Churros Stall 
A small stall right opposite to The Charles Grey bar.
I got the normal Churros with icing sugar + cinnamon powder which costed me £ 4.00
It's very filling since its pretty thick (look at the amount of batter used in them)

Even though they are oily and high in calories, I'm gonna ignore it for today since I love them! 
*ate them all up*
Since I bought them quite early in the morning, there's not oily aftertaste since the oil is still fresh (bare in mind that most of the oil are reused to fry these churros). If you happen to buy then later in the evening you might taste a bit of oily flavouring in your churros since most of the oil were reused and I tasted them before and I seriously HATE it.

My Ratings
Taste: 7/10 (oily but not very sweet with the icing sugar + cinnamon powder) 
Value for Money: 6/10 (well, there's about 7 thick churros pieces ...)
Recommend Degree: 8/10 (easily addicted and in another way some might hate it since it's pretty greasy)

So technically, these are my favourite 2 desserts that I will always buy whenever I'm browsing around in the Christmas Markets.
If you happen to be in Newcastle, please feel free to drop by and enjoy some of their foods.


Movie Name: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)
Movie Period: 2 hours 13 mins

Being a Harry Potter's fan, I have been waiting for this new movie of J.K Rowling to be released in the UK and finally it's here! *I actually bought the ticket 2 weeks ago before the movie was released*
It's one of the Harry Potter prequel which was released in 2001 as a screenplay book.

So basically this is a series sequel of 5 stories and this is the first one!

Didn't want to spoil myself with the movie plot therefore I didn't read the book yet, and planned to read it after finishing this movie 😍

The movie cast are amazing where the main characters,

Newt Scamander by Eddie Redmayne
  • A British wizard expelled from Hogwarts travelling to New York alone with a suitcase that holds a secret.
Gellert Grindelwaid by Johnny Depp (Villain)
  • Dumbledore's friend which is also a Villain in this movie, but in the end he was killed by Dumbledore 
Porpentina Goldstein (Tina) by Katerina Waterston
  • A person whom worked in the American Wizard office and helped Newt Scamander during his stay in New York
Jacob Kowalski by Dan Fogler
  • American muggle involved in the whole magic process throughout the movie
Queenie Goldstein by Alison Sudol
  • Tina's Sister and someone whom can read minds 

So basically these are few of the main characters which you need to know from this movie.

Empire Cinema Newcastle


*SPOILER BELOW*

Newt arrived in New York along with his magical suitcase (full of magical creatures). He ended up in the bank after realising one of his creature escaped from his suitcase (walking around hunting for sparkling coins and jewelries). He ended up following his creature since he can't use magical in the crowded bank and he ended up meeting with Mr. Kowalski (a muggle) whom wished to get a bank funding on his dream bakery passed down by his grandma. Newt however left one of his creature egg on the bench and was picked up by the muggle. Newt was forced to use his magic in the muggle world to catch his naughty creature back and Mr. Kowalski (a muggle) was tangled in between this massive mess! *the muggle was shocked and tried to runaway after getting out from the bank but ended up swapping his suitcase full of bakery goods with Newt's magical suitcase........................ and this is where the adventure begins in the street of New York 😀.

I do not want to spoil the whole movie since today is the 2nd day it was played in the cinema around the UK. If you're a huge fan of Harry Potter series, I really recommend this movie.

My Point of View;
Ratings: 5⭑ (Sorry I'm a Harry Potter fan)
Magical Graphics: 4⭑ (I wish they have more magical tricks or spells used in the movie)
Recommended Level: 5⭑ (Highly recommended to Harry Potter fans)

Sometime, I wish that my ordinary life would be filled with a bit of magic...
Despite having this stressful and unpredictable life which no one actually knows what will happen every time you wake up in the morning...
I wish I was part of them sometimes just like the picture below 😂😂😂

*gasping for air* 
Finally I manage to get myself out of the magical suitcase 😛

So,
Do You Believe in Magic?
