This was a pretty interesting experience. Being Muslim, I do not consume any alcohol, pork or items that contain the by-products of pig like gelatin, lard etc. When I was told that most of the flavours contained gelatin, man my heart sank. But thankfully, I was told that there were two flavours that were devoid of all those things - the Earl Grey Chocolate (left) and the Salted Caramel (right).

And they were fantastic. I absolutely adored the generous amount of filling that is piped into one of these capsule-shaped pastries! While I really loved the Earl Grey Chocolate for its light, earthy flavours, the Salted Caramel took some getting used to — but credit where it's due, its heavy salty-smoky flavour was beguiling given its unsuspecting light brown cream. It's as if they synthesised a cream directly from Werther's Original. It was rather magnetic, if I may conjecture.

Maybe I can only dream that they'll release more of such safe flavours, but for now, I'll take what I can get. These two flavours stood tall, and with their heads held high. (8.5/10)
