Fixed Price haul

'Fixed Price' is sort of like the Dollar Shop of Moscow, just that instead of USD1 , items are priced at 45 Rubles each ( they raised the price, last week it was still 43 Rubles, I am kinda bumped).
It has been quite long since I last went to 'Fixed Price' but I passed by one the other day when I was heading to the post office. I thought why not stop by and stock some snacks. 

This is a huge amount of snack isn't it?
I am could not resist temptation so I have tried most of the snacks I have bought. 
So there will be a mini review on the snacks.

Cookie fingers covered in milk chocolate.
I think this is my favourite snack out of the all that I have hauled.
It is basically cookies covered in milk glazing. It taste good and one pack comes in 265grams. That is a nice amount of cookie fingers in one pack for the price.
It makes a really great snack. It is just so munchable.

Waffle 'cake' with yogurt coating and walnuts.
It ate some of it already as you can see.
It is a nice waffle 'cake' for its price. Taste wise it is nothing special but acceptable. The yogurt coating doesn't stand out, it doesn't taste very yogurt like, it is very sweet. I would expect the yogurt coating to be slightly tangy instead of just being sweet. Overall it is a nice waffle 'cake' for its price.
Just that since it is so big and it is basically waffle, it is quite hard to eat with a spoon or biting it as it is. Not something I would take and treat as a snack on a daily basis.
I shouldn't complain much as it is quite a big portion for the price.

Prepackaged Medovnik.
I have tried a little of it as you can see. I would say just get the fresh one from the bakery section. The prepackaged is just too artificial tasting for my liking. The artificial honey scent is too overwhelming, it is like eating honey perfume. Not recommended at all. 

I haven't tried the cake dessert in the blue packaging yet. No reviews for it! 

Overall, I would buy the finger cookies all over and over again. The rest? Meh.

Asian grocery haul #1

This is the first time I am doing a grocery haul post. So let's start out with a small one.
I don't usually go to Asian market because It is quite a travel from my hostel. This time my class is pretty near the Asian market so I went to the market to get some necessities.

This is what I got for my Asian grocery haul.
Everything I got is in the picture except the tofu, I have already unpacked it and placed it in the fridge. Tofu is like a rarity in Moscow, you could hardly find them unless in higher class supermarkets and they are way too pricey. Being Asian, I love my tofu but the only time I could have them is when I go to the Asian market. So, tofu is a most when I visit there. Tofu is very affordable there and the taste is great too for the price paid.

Mi Lau Thai. I am not an instant noodle kind of person but the Asian market is predominantly Vietnamese and there is a selection of Vietnamese food products. So happen I tried this instant noodle before and I like it. So I thought why not buy 2 packets in case of food emergency, like during the exam season.

I can't live without Gochujang, I love my dose of spiciness. This is a back up tub. I usually put Gochujang in most of the soups I make.

I have heard lots of Vietnamese coffee and how great it taste. Me and my friend bought a box and we shared between us. I have tried the coffee, so far, I find it very much like most instant coffee but it is less sweet and has a stronger coffee taste. For this, I like it much better than Nescafe which I find a little diluted and sweet.

I might visit the Asian market again next week. Let's see my schedule.
