Sunshine Cream Roll, $0.85, NTUC Fairprice

No Trans fat. Healthier choice logo at the bottom

I got the Sunshine Wholemeal Cream Roll, Raspberry Flavour from NTUC. It looked pretty good. It had the Healthier Choice logo and had no Trans fat. It was not overly sweet. But the jam was surprisingly crunchy.

Initially, I thought it was the seeds from the jam. If it had been, I would have been impressed. Sadly, it was sugar! The sugar had not dissolved in the jam. It was as though the manufacturers just poured sugar out of sugar packets and forgot to stir!

Sugar for added crunch?

Super fail, I would not buy it again.

This is super shiok, super addictive. It comes in a row of 5 (or 6, I cant remember. They were gone in a flash). I could only find this in the Market Place at Raffles City and not in normal supermarkets. They were on sale, maybe $2 or $3. Usual price would probably be double that.

The chocolate is like KitKat but the chocolate coating is more generous than Kitkat.
The center tastes very distinctly like digestive biscuits. I could taste the oat.

I would say that it tastes most similar to the dark chocolate digestive biscuits from Marks & Spencer.

On top of its awesome taste, it is only 99 calories!

To put things in perspective, the UK four-finger Kit Kat contains 233 dietary calories and the two-finger Kit Kat contains 107 calories. Marks & Spencer Dark Chocolate Digestive Biscuits has 85 calories in a single biscuit.

Breakaway is also more filling (probably because its made up digestive biscuit and not wafer).

Fewer calories + more filling = slimmer waistline + satisfaction!

Would definitely buy again!

Muffin from Edmunds Cafe, SMU ($1.80)

The muffin was okay for its price ($1.80). The chocolate chips were pretty generous but the muffin itself was average. Apparently, it was featured on the Straits Times a few years back.
I prefer the the muffin at the store below School of Accountancy. It is better and cheaper ($1.50). And have better service.

The auntie at Edmund's Cafe gave a very snappy "what do you want?" when I was ready to order. It was 4.30pm on a Saturday.

She proceded to take out a muffin from the fridge and placed it in a bag directly.
Yes, she expected me to eat the muffin cold, straight from the fridge. From my previous experiences, I was always asked if I wanted the muffin warmed up.
So disappointed with the service.
