As the cold weather arrives, it’s more tempting than ever to indulge in tasty meals and sweet treats as the evenings grow darker. If you are stuck in a food rut or feeling uninspired on what to cook, there’s plenty of new arrivals to inspire your next feed.
From new menu launches and matcha arrivals, to crowd-favourite sauces flying off the shelves, May is proving to be a big month for our tastebuds. These are the tasty additions that should be on your radar, according to the 7You team.
1. El Jannah
The home of delicious charcoal chicken has just dropped a new menu. Promising to shake up our boring salad or sushi routine, the Legendary Lebanese Lunch range features three flavour-packed chicken rolls. Choose from The Crispy Special, The Tawouk Tabouli, and Tawouk Fattoush, which each come with chips and a drink for just $14, and are guaranteed to break your boring lunch rut forever.
2. Loco Love Pistachio Mylk Praline Truffles
Speaking of lunch, if you feel yourself dipping after carb-loading, then an afternoon sweet treat is in order. Loco Love just dropped the Pistachio Mylk Praline Truffles, a rich chocolate treat with a silky pistachio ganache, caramel pieces and tremella mushroom. The bite-sized truffles are vegan, gluten-free and contain no refined sugar for a guilt-free pick-me-up. Available for $7.45 for a single pack.
3. Chatime Brown Sugar Matcha Latte
Calling all bubble tea fans, Chatime just launched their boldest matcha range yet. There are four new drinks on offer — including the Jasmine Matcha Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Matcha Latte, which has just the right amount of sweetness. Just as you’d expect, the drinks are a gorgeous vibrant green colour, free from any extreme bitterness, and instead offer a subtle earthy flavour with a sugary taste.
4. Potato Utopia Potato Gratins
Cold weather has us craving warm dishes and tasty carbs, bringing baked potatoes for dinner to the top of our list. We’ve just discovered these delicious frozen Potato Gratins from Potato Utopia, which are thinly sliced potato with cream and cheese that can be popped straight from the freezer into an oven or air fryer. There are three flavours up for grabs: Parmesan & Black Pepper, Four Cheese, and our favourite — Hot Honey & Mozzarella. Priced at $7.50.
5. Grill’d The Famous Herb Mayo
You know the sauce you love every time you treat yourself to an iconic Grill’d burger? Coles can’t seem to keep it in stock. The Famous Herb Mayo is officially the number one selling mayonnaise at the supermarket giant, surpassing household names like Heinz, Hellmann’s and Praise. So you better act fast if you want to get your hands on the sell-out sauce. There’s Sweet Chilli Mayo and Smoky Chipotle Mayo too. Available for $6.
6. Violet Crumble Honeycomb Spread
Everyone knows the classic taste of chocolate coated honeycomb, and now Violet Crumble is available in a spread. Perfect for crumpets, toast or even drizzled over desserts, the smooth chocolate spread has crunchy shards of honeycomb for the ultimate sweet treat. But you’ll have to act fast — you can find this new spread in the ALDI Special Buys Aisle until June 10. Priced at $7.50.
