Family Mart #1 : Chicken Parmesan Slice

-


I don’t normally do food reviews but since I wrote a list of things I want to do/achieve before I turn 24, I thought it would be a good idea. One of the things on my list is to try all the fresh foods/pastries that Family Mart (A Japanese convenience store recently started opening chains in Malaysia) has to offer. Might as well write a review on them!
First off, the chicken Parmesan Slice! I chose this bun to be the first because it’s simple and is offered in a lot of other bakeries. Thus, it is easier to evaluate since I’d have some points of reference.

Appearance
On the outside, it looks extremely delicious! Has a good colour tone; that golden cheese top that indicates the sprinkles of parmesan, the light brown colour of the rest of the bun, and best of all the overflowing chicken slices protruding from its sides. It makes for a mouth-watering glance.
The plastic wrap that comes with it is easily opened from the top, adding to the convenience of eating it. The bun is packaged in a way that the first bite we eat would be the sides with the overflowing chicken slices. This adds on to the eagerness of the consumer. Very clever, I am fooled.

The First Bite.
The first bite proves to be lethal, it completely fills your mouth with a beautiful saltiness and the taste of chicken. The bun is fluffier than expected for a convenience store, and definitely at the same level as bakeries. Whilst the Parmesan sprinkles touches the roof of the mouth to complete the umami.
The first bite reveals the extra slice of cheese in between the chicken ham. This whole concoction is addictive and texture-wise super soft and on point!

Getting Through it
Most buns with cheese usually get mundane after a few bites or even after the first, I highly suspected the same thing. However, combination of saltiness and sweet exuberating from the bun disallows frolicking and before I knew it, it was over. I finished the bun.
Interesting to note here, that the size also plays a big role. Some places offer a mundane chicken slice bun but has a huge serving and others do the opposite. Family mart has achieved the correct ratio of taste:serving:price. It fills up the consumer as well as a snack should, while tasting wonderfully too!

Verdict
Congratulations Family Mart on this wondrous creation!
Score
8.7/10

Family Mart #2 : Chicken Teriyaki and Egg Sandwich (RM5.50)

You might be thinking “hmm, is she for real?” Wasting her life by writing reviews about convenience store food. But fret not! It is my life, and you don’t have to worry it! Plus, someone needs to review them! How else would you know what you need to get from your neighbourhood Family Mart (7/11 in the future?). So today, we’re eating the Chicken Teriyaki and Egg Sandwich! The sandwich consists of two parts, the Teriyaki Sandwich, and the egg sandwich. Being a fickle person myself and not being able to decide on food a lot, makes this a wonderful sandwich choice for people like me. You can have the fillingness and fulfilment of a chicken sandwich, and a creamy but refreshing egg sandwich. Appearances Anyone whom has watched even a little bit of any anime with food in it, will agree that the Japanese know how to make things, especially food look good. Take for example the bacon and eggs in ‘Howls Moving Castle’, it’s so simple but that shit is mouth-watering! Japanese bran

Family Mart #4: Tiramisu Parfait (Rm 5.97)

Disclaimer! : So in this post, I’m going to review the Tiramisu Parfait, if that was not obvious enough. I might be a little biased or harsh on this review, but please bear with me. This is one of my favourite cakes due to its lightness, and coy abilities. Although the Tiramisu is one of the most well-known and easily accessible Italian dessert, however it is (like many other well-known Italian desserts) a very recent tradition. The first Tiramisu was concocted in the 1960s making is a 20 th century creation. Legend has it that the owner of the restaurant “Le Beccherie”, Roberto Linguanotto, first made it in 1969, but of course the debate for originality continues! This restaurant, the MVP and OG in the Tiramisu game, is still open for business! Located in Treviso, which is in the Veneto region of North-eastern Italy. Veneto’s capital is the all too popular, Venice. I am so not surprised that such a wonderful dessert comes from such a romantic backg
