my boss came across these at a chocolate store at wheelock place - chocolate research facility - and bought some back for us to try. the exterior boxes look so fashionably cool, i would mistake them for makeup compacts if i didn't know :) even the design style, the size of the box etc. all look soooo M.A.C., don't you think? i especially like the safari prints, the alphabets/ checked/ polka dot prints on the boxes.
anyway, i tried a small piece of each - hazelnut milk chocolate, macadamia dark chocolate.. (didn't get to try the irish cream - all gone by the time i got to the pantry *lol*, must be good). for me, the macadamia dark chocolate wins hands down! very smooth, just the right amount of sweetness and so chocolatey, i like!
retailing at approx. SGD8.00 - 12.00 each credit-card-size piece/box, these chocolates ain't cheap but that's kinda expected cuz look at them... such PRETTY packaging, they're almost like art/collectibles. i'm sure the bulk of what we're paying goes to the design and packaging (plus the cool variety of good tasting chocolates) and the interesting retail store display.i just saw on their website, they actually have a "tea series" too. imagine milk/white chocolates with tea flavours such as earl grey, jasmine, lavender, green tea, bergamot, rose hip, darjeeling, spiced tea (OMG, i soooo have to try this!)... i'm getting excited just thinking of it. mmmm... yummy tummy!
retail stores located at millenia walk and wheelock place, i must go check them out personally soon. very soon :)
