I was feeling peckish after dinner in TST so went to Marks and Sparks.
The Jaffa cake is basically a layer of Genoise sponge base, a layer of orange jelly coated in chocolate.
Discovered the Dark chocolate and Cherry Jaffa cakes so I had to get it because the cherry is a new invention.
The pack was a strange because it was twin packs which didn't really say on the packaging.
All of the packs on the shelf were twinpacks.
Anyway, I couldn't wait to eat the Jaffa cake and it was delicious.
It tastes a bit like a blackforest cake but the cherry jelly was not tart enough.


On the receipt, there is a 10% discount if you share your shopping experience at Marks and Sparks on tellmands which I did because I love shopping at Marks and Sparks but the incentive is rather useless because you have to spend $500-1000 to use that 10% discount.

Saw the festive drinks so I decided try the hot chocolate orange.
It was really nice with a strong orange taste that was not too artificial and the chocolate was not to rich.

The Trifle is the best English dessert which is a layer of jelly with fruits at the bottom, topped with sponge, custard and then cream.
I loved this Rhubarb version which replaces the fruit jelly because the rhubard has a tart taste which goes well with the custard and cream.

Got the Mint Selection Box from a friend for Christmas which are my favourite treats.
I love mint chocolates.
In the box, there were two generous trays of Peppermint creams, after dark mints, crunchy mint truffles, mint wands, mint crisp signature and mint fudges.
My favourite was the mint crisp signature, which was dark chocolate with pieces of mint in it.
The peppermint creams were cooling and sweet.

Another branch of Marks and Spencers!!
I think this is the best sausage roll ever invented because it has my favourite black pudding in it.
The black onion seeds on top which look like black sesame were really powerful because they had a very fragrant cumin like taste that is slightly spicy.

The sausage roll has a much richer and velvety taste and texture.
Luckily, these rolls are ready to eat hot or cold so anyone who does not have an oven can eat this.

M&S Café is a homely place to dine because it has lovely sofas which can make some people feel like home that they take their shoes off.
Anyway, I had my usual pasta which was consistently good.
Al-dente pasta in a tangy tomato bolognese sauce.
The hygiene could be better because there are always some flies flying near my salad.

This branch of Marks and Sparks is located right inside Admiralty MTR so I ended up going there because I was early while waiting for someone and got a bag of pork scratchings.
Unfortunately, they seemed to have gone off with a rancid taste but they were still crispy.
Taste was quite salty as well.

Went to the new branch of MS on the corner opposite where Burger King used to be.
I got a packet of milk bottles, which are classic British sweets.
They taste a bit like Chinese white rabbit sweets but better with a gummy texture and fragrant milk taste.

I am so glad they now have some dairy treats from UK because previously they only had yoghurts and trifles.
The selection is a bit limited because they don't have CREAM SLICES.
Anyway, they had my favourite chocolate eclairs which cost $40 for two which is quite expensive compared to UK's Marks and Spencers but in HK terms $40 for two big eclairs is better than the pathetic local cakes around filled with weird cream.

Chocolate eclairs:

The eclairs were delicious and the choux pastry was light with a soft chew filled with dreamy cream inside topped with delicious chocolate fondant on top.
