🧂 A Crisp, Award-Winning Experience

Truly Gourmet’s Sea Salt Tempeh Chips scored an impressive 84.4% overall rating after a rigorous blind sensory evaluation by a panel of over 200 professional chefs and sommeliers, many recognised by institutions such as Le Guide Michelin and Gault & Millau. They evaluated products on five criteria:

  • First Impression

  • Visual Appeal

  • Aroma (Olfaction)

  • Taste

  • Texture

Our scores included 90.1% for texture and 85.7% for taste.


🔍 Why It Matters

This isn’t just an award. It’s a validation of our mission to craft snacks that are:

  • ✅ Halal by JAKIM

  • 🌱 Vegan and Gluten-Free

  • 🏆 Now Internationally Recognized for Taste and Quality

The Superior Taste Award is given to products scoring 70% or more in blind tastings by professional juries; 80–90% earns two stars. With an overall 84.4%, including Taste (85.7%) and Texture (90.1%), our Sea Salt Tempeh Chips earned two stars.


🎯 Our Promise to You

This award inspires us to keep pushing boundaries without compromising our core values. Made from non-GMO soybeans, our tempeh chips are a celebration of plant-based innovation and Malaysian culinary pride.

“We don’t just make snacks—we craft experiences. This recognition from the International Taste Institute proves we’re on the right track.”
— Truly Gourmet Team
