The Final Set...


I love the Eraserheads and everybody was left hanging and craving for more from their last reunion concert. we all know what happen that night and thank God Ely Buendia is already in good health to do the final set. The date is set MARCH 7, 2009. MTV and Smart are producing the said concert, but in regards with the venue its still a toss up between The Fort Openfield or Mall of Asia Open grounds... Im really excited ^_^

Best Chocolates in Town!!!

Im not a chocoholic, i rarely eat one because they give me a soar throat (most of the time...) But i will surely make an exemption for this chocolates... its called ROYCE Chocolates. They originated from Japan. One of their best selling product is the Royce Nama Chocolates. Its a very creamy chocolate covered with cocoa powder that literally melts in your mouth (yum yum yum!!!). They recently opened their first store in Manila, its located at the 3rd level of Rockwell Mall. i dropped by the store to get some for my mom because she's a chocolate addict. I bought Gianduja flavored Nama Chocolate. According to the staff at the store its the new flavor for the month of January, and guess what its Muy Delicioso! the chocolates are packed in an insulated bag along with a dry ice to keep the temp. cool for the chocolates. (this is how delicate this sweets are!)
They have a variety of flavor for the Nama Chocolates. A must try product from Royce is the Chocolate Potato Chips, unfortunately they run out of stock when we visited the store... By the way a box of nama chocolates cost 580 Php, i think its reasonable enough considering the taste and quality.

There is also another Nama Chocolate that is being sold here in Manila. It's called SATCHI. according to shopcrazy "...the delicate, luxurious chocolate melts in your mouth in a smooth, creamy, and velvety texture never before experienced. Made from cacao beans and fresh cream, it reminds one of ganache". Like Royce Nama they also come in different flavors: Milk, bittersweet, bitter, mint, and strawberry, as well as exciting seasonal flavors like rum, champagne, coffee, and green tea. A box cost 350 Php (introductory price) per box that's 230 Php cheaper than Royce! I have yet to try this one. like Royce they also have special packaging for the chocolates but you have to pay 35 Php for the packaging. Satchi is exclusively distributed by Heavenly Chocolates located at 127 Roces Avenue, Quezon City (near Tomas Morato Ave.) You may contact them through 6662208. Store hours are 1PM to 10PM, Monday to Saturday.
