Talking about nice hidden taste, I ate a nice sweet dessert recently where they put a small salty, crunchy, flower looking-decoration on the slice. When I eat it, it's sweet, but then I bite the crunchy decoration and it gives a nice contrasting moutfeel and taste that makes the dessert tastes better.
