Nespresso 2014 limited coffee

Mr B and I are big fan of nespresso so when I know this year nespresso brings out three limited edition caupluse - Chocolate mint,Hazelnut dessert,Apple crumble , we can't wait to try. 

We were thinking to get Apple crumble and Hazelnut dessert as we like the sound of it. I went to the store today and ask if I could possibly try the three before purchasing any just so I can buy the one I like and enjoy at home. Without any hesitation, the staff make me three cups of expresso to try. 

Firstly I had the chocolate mint which I thought we weren't going to purchase it. Suprisingly I liked it. I love the hint of minty afterwards taste, it feel really refreshing and who doesn't like a chocolate taste in coffee?! 

Then I had the Apply crumble ; no doubt I love it. It is very unusually as it has a little bit of the bakery biscuity taste and apple. It is very confusing but it is very good. 

Last but not least I tried the Hazelnut dessert. Um... What should I say? It is not like I don't like it but it doesn't taste like hazelnut or any nutty flavour to me (saying that it is a hazelnut dessert caupluse) It taste a bit like maconroon to me but without the sweetness if you can imagine the taste. 

So in the end I bought the apple crumble and chocolate mint instead of what I thought I will get. 

If you are unsure which one you are going to get, go to the store and ask to taste it before purchase. The above comments are all my personally taste. You might agree or disagree but let me know on comment box below which one you purchase home with you .

Have a fantastic weekend everyone! 

Restaurant review :JRC - Global Buffet

The other day Mr B and myself went to JRC - Global Buffet (London Ilford) for dinner. There is a car park close by and very cheap for parking. They serve 12 different countries nation food including Japan, Vietnam, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Mongolia, Great Britain. They also have teppanyaki, sushi, dim sum, Brazilian Churascco and Asian roaster as well as pizza and Indian tandoori. Don't forget carvery, seafood, noodle, fruit and salad bars, a deli and a dessert counter.

It costs £15.99 per person not included drinks. You will need to go to the bar to order your drink separately. We ordered coke and I think it costs £1.60 per glass.We ate most oriental food, there are loads of choices.

We booked table in advance to prevent the crowd which I will recommend as when we left the restaurant there are lot of people queuing.

I would recommend if you are looking for variety of food to try or big crowd of friends so everyone will have food suit their taste. Of course if you are looking for high quality of food, you won't be choosing to go this kind of restaurant anyway but saying that I think it is definitely not bad at all for the price and variety of food.
