Sorry
I got sensitive teeth
Hi guys!
Hi
Yes
In a way yes
Depends what
No
Doesn't matter to me
Then you like that
Ya I just close my eyes
No la actually I see price
We have a certain
impression of some brands
like oh maybe it tastes better
For example chips
if I like Lay's, then I'll buy Lay's la
because it tastes a certain way right?
But if it's say like mineral water
then I just buy the cheapest one la
Cheap
Cheap then if you no money
you really very very hungry
and want to eat chips
then just buy the cheap chips
Get it?
Cheaper la!
It wouldn't be my first thought
to go and try all these housebrands
I think hor quality sometimes
it may surprise you
Maybe it's cos we never eat
maybe very nice?
I think housebrands can be very good
because I think they know exactly
what works for their supermarket
Like for example you know Tesco products
Tesco products are good eh
They're good ya
Like the pastas
N: and the organic stuff S: So we have one example of a housebrand that works
I tried the Fairprice bread before
Taste like bread lor
Let's say you have a party right
people ask you to buy chips
What chips do you want?
Lays or Ruffles?
No I want the Fairprice one
This has never happened!
Ok I just smell chocolate lor
No this smells like Cocoa Puffs
This one not as strong
This one stronger!
Not Koko Krunch meh this one?
Ya Koko Krunch
Like got Koko taste
then a bit crunchy
like Koko Krunch
This one hor
like more airy
more crunchy
It's like
There's this weird like roasted taste
It's like the puffs that we mentioned
Ya it's like Cocoa Puffs
You know like the roasted kind
of flavour
Ok it's not as sweet as the first one
Ya not as rich
The taste doesn't like come out as much
This one a bit more lighter on the palate
Not as heaty
I think the aftertaste is a bit bitter
B
Yes!
Yay
I feel like the shape is very perfect
This one is a bit slimmer
So that's why I think it's crunchier
Koko Krunch recently changed it's shape right
This was the original KoKo Krunch shape eh
If Koko Krunch didn't change it's shape right
I won't be able to tell the difference
To be honest right
I didn't even know that NTUC got
some form of a Koko Krunch
What is it called ah?
PD: Shellinos
Ahhh?
Eh you want to eat Shellinos
for breakfast?
Smells spicy
I feel like this one
the smell is more fragrant
Bam hits you
This looks like there's more seasoning on it
This one looks a bit more fried
Saturation more
Saturation lesser
This looks healthier though
Got the spice
This is probably Hot & Spicy
Maybe it's Calbee
Oh this is not bad eh actually
It's like almost
nearing Tom Yum
This one got a more tomato-y
sourish taste compared to this one
I feel that both tastes quite legit
Like you cannot taste which one is lacking la
The texture of the chips right
actually taste very similar
to the Jack & Jill chips
This one I think the flavour is
just very like balanced
Confirm Calbee Hot & Spicy
I am hundred percent sure
We bet one Ma La meal
that this is Calbee
Ok
Really ah?
Ya
B!
Housebrand!
Ok
Wait what's this?
PD: Calbee
Yes!
One free Ma La meal
They look the same
The first one
looks a bit more like opaque
While this one looks like it
N: might be like S: Translucent
Made from concentrate kind of thing
A Vitamin C orange smell
It's like right at your face eh
Like eh!
Orange!
Ok the first one right
It tastes very rich
tastes very fresh
You can tell that there's sugar added la
It's thick and sweet
It's just BAM sweet
I feel like got 20% of carrot juice inside
This one taste a bit like thinner
Got a bit of kick
Like drinking alcohol like that
This one there's a hint of sourness
You know sometimes you eat the orange
Then the juice come out right
It's like that
But surprisingly right
both are same level of sweetness
This one is like
those wedding lunch right
then you pour those orange juice
B
A: A! W: This one
Woahhhh
Wow my mind just got blown
Tom yum! Tom yum!
Is it Tom Yum?
Yes it's Tom Yum
Yay I'm very happy right now
Oh it smells a bit different
Smells like a very
chill Tom Yum
This one is like
Tom Yum with the lime
I like the first one
Eh oh
I'm smelling the same thing!
This one looks sick though
Looks so pale sia!
The noodles are shaped
N: shaped slightly different S: The noodles are more
flat and wider than
this one
The noodles right
is the
Mee Pok style
Then the soup is like a dark brown
The
colour
this one looks more proper legit
order from the
canteen stall aunty
The soup is very flavourful
The noodles like quite springy
I think all the elements of Tom Yum right
is there
This one smells very sour eh
Like there's not much Tom Yum Taste
it's just sour
It's like the Tom Yum soup right
but then you accidentally put too much lime
I think we both know the answer
We both know the answer?
I think so
We both?
You get it a not
This is the housebrand
Brand?
B
You wouldn't think that
there would be like such a
big difference between cup noodles
or instant noodles
but there is
Potong ice cream!
This one I confirm know
cos my mother will always buy
The one my mum always buys right
is this round stick one
This is A
It's like a
purple grey colour
It doesn't look as sweet
This one is a bit more like
dusty pink
Eh you compare to this
Wait for it to melt for awhile
This one you can see the red bean
but the colour seems a bit more
artificial?
Ok this is like
a lot pinker
Got the pandan taste don't you agree?
Mm got the pandan taste
The initial taste
not that great
but there's like a very faint
red bean taste in the end
I don't taste that much of milk
The taste wise right
it's actually
not that rich
Do you feel that this one
has a more powdery
powdery powdery kind of
See!
Hammer sia
We doing construction inside
I think this one more milky
This one red bean taste is very strong
They very generous with the red beans also
It's very nostalgic
It tastes very local I feel
This one taste like the red bean soup
This one feels more like an ice cream
This one just feels like a rock
A frozen red bean rock
The red bean taste
it's a lot more prominent
This would be like the
face of Singapore ice cream
B
But this one I confirm know
cos my mother will always buy
Ok
means my mother always
buy the housebrand
The orange juice was the biggest surprise
Before this
I don't even know
that they had like some form
of a Koko Krunch
Even if they had it
I might have walked past it
To be honest like the differences
between the
housebrands and
the actual brands
is just very small
I think the last one has proven that
doesn't mean that housebrand products
are not good
It's just that we never try it before
that's why we don't know
The Potong one right
I just didn't know that
the one I've always been eating
is the housebrand one
That goes to show
people's impressions
of housebrands
That they thought that
the better one
cannot be a housebrand
