PATCHI LEBANESE CHOCOLATE

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

Being a rabid sweet-tooth, I have been wanting to get some of these Lebanese style chocolate for a long time since I saw it online. I think Patchi has over 30 different varieties but I picked only all their 11 Dark Chocolate assortment. These are sold by grams and cost me around Php 1,000+. Gourmet chocolate can be quite expensive and definitely not for everyday consumption.








Some of my favorites.


Rocher Noir Almonds: Dark chocolate with roasted almonds


Marquise: Dark chocolate with gianduja, crisped rice, almond, and hazelnut pieces


Patchi 25: dark chocolate with gianduja and hazelnut pieces


And here are the rest of the Patchi dark chocolate varieties.


Desir: Date stuffed with one roasted almond coated with dark chocolate


Parfait: dark chocolate with caramel truffle


Nuance: dark chocolate with chocolate cream and slices of orange peel


Noblesse: Plain smooth dark chocolate (72% coca)


Delice: dark chocolate filled with dark chocolate cream


Dark Praline: soft centered gianduja praline is centered in this smooth dark chocolate piece

Building 5 B5

Valentine's Day

Saturday, February 18, 2012

Happy belated Valentine's Day! Pardon me for being so late. Korean films started consuming a lot of my time this week, so my blogging routine was obviously off. Anyway, I didn't get a bouquet of fresh red roses, cute teddy bear, or any heart-shaped chocolates. And HB never did ask me out for a date. Sounds like I had a boring and lonely Valentine's Day.

Well, not really. I was greeted with some boxes filled with pretty shoes and a beautiful Burberry handbag.

I'm not really fond of sharing my personal life here. I value my privacy. But this is extra special so I'd like to mention it here. On our six years of dating, HB would always call me like every day. I thought after we got married things would change. But up until now, he always does it when he goes out with his friends or he's out of town. And he never failed even once. Isn't that amazing?

I am just so thankful that God has given me a wonderful man to be my partner for life.

I hope you're Valentine's Day was wonderful and amazing as well. :)

CELEBRATING CHINESE NEW YEAR

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

So it was the day before Chinese New Year that we found ourselves in the heart of Malate and finally checked into our room at the Hyatt Hotel and Casino Manila. The hotel has a huge lobby but no seating area. I was expecting some grand Chinese-themed decorations and splendid dragons; however the hotel was almost bare. (Sorry, I wasn't able to take photos of the lobby.)

We settled on a City Bay View King with superb views of Manila Bay and the Roxas Boulevard.

The bathroom is a very decent size, but it's the spacious shower room with a half-size deep soaking bathtub and rain-shower that we really liked a lot.





VIDEO HERE!



I was happy that the hotel was near the largest shopping center in the city. Later that day, we had our lunch at Cyma, a Greek restaurant located at Robinsons Place Manila, just a 5-minute walk from the hotel. We had Bifteka-Greek Wagyu Burger (bravo for oozing cheese goodness) and Cyma Lamb Chops. (No pics again, forgot to bring my camera.) It was our first time to dine there and it was quite good. After lunch, we took a short stroll and headed back to the hotel. But we first decided to hit one of our favorite stores named Cafe Mary Grace for the yummy mini truffle chocolate cake we always crave at this time of the year.




I love to dine in the privacy of our room but the prices on the room service menu are quite expensive. Anyway, it's a deluxe 5-star hotel so I expected that. We didn't do anything too extravagant, we just had some takeout food at Cyma (again), Gumbo and Ajisen Ramen, which promptly vanished into our delighted tummy that night.





We were craving coffee but ended up buying these delicious milk green tea and milk black tea from Gong Cha, a bubble tea chain from Taiwan.




The next morning we headed to Market Cafe located on the 3rd floor of the hotel. Buffet breakfast is simple but good enough to get you started. I super love the hot green tea with bits of tea leaves in it. I almost finished the big teapot by myself. :)











I was looking forward to see a dragon dance but just got a quick glimpse the day we checked out. The young boys were still waiting for their turn to perform and sadly it was time for us to leave. Nevertheless, glad I met my best pal Dragonico and still got the chance to snap some pictures. :)






Let's try to thrive on positivity lovely peeps! Again, Gong Xi Fa Cai! :)
