Prior to coming here, I had no exposure to canelés, so I set no expectations. But biting into one, its subtle flavour unpretentious, I was pleasantly surprised by a mild sweetness. But I must warn that it is an acquired taste.

What are canelés?
Little crispy pastries with spongy custard centres within thick caramelised walls.
Think condensed kueh bahulus.

Say it with me: KEH-nuh-lay.
