Coconut water from Thailand

A quick stop at a convenience store for some drinks led to my purchasing a bottle of coconut water. I was going to pick up one from Lipa, a local producer of bottled or tetra pak coconut water but I remembered that the taste of their coconut water was somewhat weird. Instead, I got this other bottle from Thailand.

The bottle has a simple design

Details including nutrition information

The taste is very much like the coconut water you can drink fresh from shell in Thailand. It is very familiar to me as I've been traveling frequently with Thailand and enjoyed drinking coconut water with my spicy meals. It is a nice option for refreshments on hot days like what we're currently experiencing this dry season.

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.

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.
