Thank you so much for sending the NPD samples ka. Had a tasting with Ben and Ali and below is our feedback
1. Star Fish - Vanilla flavour, As per what I understand in the workshop that we only have one vanilla flavour which is approved by the global MET spec ( Cornetto vanilla) however, I saw that you have sent us 2 flavours for tasting thus, I would like to understand if these 2 flavour are approved spec? - If yes, we do prefer option 2 .
As I have mentioned in the call yesterday., Is it possible have another option to compare for our 2nd round of tasting ( this round it will be with BB as well in Thailand) by doing a flavour combination
having Pink colour with strawberry flavour and white colour with Vanilla flavour (option 2) .
2. A. Octopus option 1 with sauce Core
We really like the flavour combination of Strawberry MI with sauce and Grape Jelly. We feel that Strawberry flavour MI actually enhance the overall sweetness of the ice cream. We like the colour combination as well
B. Octopus option 2 with chocolate MI
Not a big fan of this option as we think don't it is a good combination between Grape jelly & Choc MI. Is there any other MI flavour suggestion that you think it does goes well with Grape Jelly ( apart from Vanilla& Strawberry) ?
3. Sea Secret
a. Flavour : The best flavour combination that we think it could work well is Mango & Tutti Fruity. For Orange & Strawberry – feel that it is too artificial like and for mixed fruit it is a bit diluted.
b. Texture : We did not like the texture of the blue MI ( it is a little bit jelly like) we prefer the Orange colour WI texture and suggest to use this same texture across both colour.
c. Colour : we like the colour combination
d. Inclusion : I think there is some improvement needed on this due to the reason below
1. . Popping candy does not pop in the mouth (very few did pop).
2. The texture when we bite it feels like eating a rice Krispie as we feels that the chocolate coverture is too thick and the popping candies seem to be cluttered with coverture.
3. To little popping candy?
4. Is there any other way we can coat the popping candies?
Below is a quick summary of what we looking forward to in our 2nd round of tasting. We are aiming to do the tasting in Thailand around 3rd- 4th Feb with BB TH & BB ID
