Chocolate review: Whittaker's Peanut Slab

Though I prefer dark chocolates, I also eat other chocolates from time to time. This is basically to satisfy cravings for chocolate. One milk chocolate bar I remember enjoying also because of the peanuts is this bar from Whittaker's.

Whittaker's The Original Peanut Slab claims to have 33% cocoa.

Details about the chocolate at the back of the bar include nutrition information and the 'best before' date.

The chocolate is okay and as I said, satisfied cravings for chocolate. So it served its intended purpose. I thought chocolates like this come in handy as a booster for when you're doing fieldwork or sports or other activities needing some quick source of energy.

Chocolate review: Audrey's Confectioneries Chocolate Mango Caramel

I received a box of chocolate-covered dried mangoes last Christmas along with a desk calendar from friends connected with a Japanese consulting firm. I only opened these last Holy Week when I decided to take the box home to share with my family.

This box of goodies was made by Audrey's Confectioneries, which is based in Cebu.

Details on the chocolate-covered mangoes at the back of the box. It's good to know that there are products like this that are of high quality that can be used as gifts or souvenirs.

Nutrition information

Information on the manufacturer including their social media page

Inside were individually packaged servings

The chocolate-covered mango caramel was really good. It was perfect for dessert as it wasn't heavy or nakaka-umay. I am curious about their other products. I haven't been to Cebu for some time now and I am not sure I would go out of the way to find their store. The good thing about social media is that it provides a way to avail of their products even remotely.

Lunch at Breakfast at Antonio's, Opus Mall

We finally ate at the Breakfast at Antonio's at Opus Mall along C5, which incidentally is still part of Quezon City but near the border with Pasig City. Its quite popular is an understatement as we always find it full. We were somewhat lucky one Saturday and had a really good late lunch there.

Smoked pork baby back ribs

Portobello truffle tagliatelle

We also got a couple of packs of freshly made piaya aside from ice cream for dessert. We are already looking forward to the next meal there. It's addressed our cravings for their food that we only enjoyed if we go to Tagaytay, which is not that often.
