Thank you for tipping me about these truffles, Leslie! I had 3 of them even before I reached our
table. The staff showing us to the function room had to stop a few times to wait for me. Lol!

My favorite was the broken dark chocolate bars studded with macadamia and pistachio. 
I also popped a few pieces of this into my mouth en route to our table.
