Strawberry Cheesecake Oreos
1 packet for $4.65 at Meidi-Ya Supermarket.
Between the iconic chocolatey Oreo biscuits,  a rich strawberry milkshake-like cream similar to the centres of Strawberry Collon biscuit that we all know and love. With the right amount of sweetness in the cream, the flavours work well together. However, it would be nice if there was a stronger cheesecake taste to it.

Kettle Chips Chef’s Signature Gressingham Duck, Plum sauce & Spring Onion chips
1 for $6.95 at Cold Storage.
Combining the rich gamey flavour of the succulent Gressingham duck with the sweetness of the plum sauce and with a hint of freshness from the spring onion, it is a nice twist to the regular chip flavours. Despite the mixed reviews, this is one chip you must try!

Taza Chocolate Guajillo Chilli
1 for $6.95 at Meidi-Ya Supermarket.
Stone Ground Organic Mexican Style Chocolate? With its rustic gritty texture and a good dose of spice and heat from the Guajillo Chili, it complements the sweetness of the chocolate, making them a match made in heaven. But be warned, you would not want to mess with the hot and peppery aftertaste. Be prepared!
