The Clairvoyant brought home some chocolate bars she purchased from the Echo Store in Serendra at Bonifacio Global City. The bars though were not for our consumption and enjoyment but for her to bring back to Singapore to gift to our friends there.
I have heard a lot about Theo & Philo chocolates but have not had the opportunity to sample a bar (or two). They are a local company who specializes in artisan chocolates made from locally produce cacao. The bars are quite special, the taste exquisite, and the presentation quite good as the photo below shows - perfect for souvenirs in a country not known for packaging products well enough to attract people to buy them. Unfortunately, I have yet to taste their chocolates as we decided to pass on the experience for later. The chocolate bars are a bit expensive considering their size but I'm sure from my sources that they're well worth every peso.

A few weeks ago, we feasted on a few chocolate squares from Chile care of a visitor of the Clairvoyant from one of their offices in South America. The packaging was similar to the Scharffen Berger chocolates we enjoyed in San Francisco. The chocolates were a delightful treat especially considering the variants from white chocolate to different % of the dark chocolates (50%, 61%, 70% and 75%). Needless to say, we ended up finishing the squares in one day.
