Nugget review: Marina, Ayamas, First Pride, Tesco Lotus(original and spicy)
This is only breaded nugget, I think tempura style taste better. My preferred style of cooking is using oven. The above breaded chicken nugget end up tasting dry and forgetable. Below is how it looks like:
Thereafter, I started buying tempura style, ie First Pride Home Spiced tempura chicken nugget and Ayamas crispy chicken nuggets tempura
Above left is first pride, above right is ayamas. Ayamas one looks pale, and appearance of first pride definitely looks better
Left First Pride looks orangey, I guess they added some spice and coloring. Ayamas can be skip, taste is not as good as First pride, it is not just because First Pride has spice, but I think Ayamas has some “instant noodley” kind of taste which doesn’t taste good
Above are Tesco Lotus original and spicy nugget. I find the spicy one is a bit too spicy. Bottom 4 are original, top 5 pieces are nugget. I find their nugget are harder(prob due to higher chicken meat content) compared to first pride which is more juicy and prob less chicken.
Here is Lotus / Tesco packaging
Above right is First Pride Home spiced chicken nugget, above left whitish is Marina’s cheddar cheese chicken nugget, which taste is mild, in fact not much taste or cheese.
I like first pride home spiced chicken nugget cos it is softer (flavorfully spiced instead of tesco spicy one which is cili-spicy only)
Overall, I prefer First Pride home spiced and the Tesco original. Ayamas is a definite no no though I had fond memory of it
