The Taste Test: Melba toast

HK$31 for 100 grams, City'super

There are five handy 20-gram packs in this box, each with six slim slices a bit smaller than an Octopus card. Why "Melba"? Its creator - the same man behind peach melba - was a fan of Dame Nellie Melba, the early 20th century Australian opera singer. This version, however, is from the Netherlands.

sesame seeds, although few, add good flavour; the toast is dry on its own but great topped with everything from savoury to sweet.
