It's Official!

Yes, yes! Royce is officially my favorite chocolate! I've loved chocolates all my life but this is THE bomb. I still love Cadbury white, Andes Chocolate Mints, Kinder Bueno and Almond Roca. But Royce is just too heavenly to resist.

I heard about Royce before but it wasn't available yet here in Manila. It was Sir Nestle who introduced Royce to me. Well not exactly just me. He brought home a box of Royce Nama for the class from a recent trip to Singapore. Imagine 20 little squares of chocolates sliced into tinier squares to feed a class of 60+. HAHA 

That's my little piece from Sir Nestle's pasalubong. 

And Fa's left foot. I think she was reporting her good and bad tv ad. haha

My next encounter with the chocolates was during a trip to Rockwell. I was waiting for Emm, Fa and Sherry so I decided to walk around. I stumbled upon the Royce store at the topmost floor. Of course I tried their chocolates. It's free anyway. haha

And finally, they day came when I had to give  in to temptation. Last Saturday I saw a new store in Trinoma and it was a Royce store. I was with Dianne and again, tried their chocolates. Super funny coz we wanted to try the others but we didn't have plans of buying so we just thanked them and walked away laughing.  And then days ago I was browsing blogs and found so many reviews on Royce. I've been fighting the urge to buy it because it didn't come cheap.

So yeah I totally gave in and bought a box last Thursday. I also took the chance of trying the ones I want because I was gonna buy anyway. HAHA KAPAAAAL! Anyhoo here's my Royce box.

That little sachet is the frozen gel and the silver one is sort of a 'cooling envelope' where they put the box.

Fa and I call Royce an "insult to poverty". HAHA But when you think about it, oo nga naman. She mentioned last night in our brief ym conversation that they eat the Royce Chocolate Covered Potato Chips like nuts in the office. I can't even imagine buying the potato chips because I feel it's not worth the money. I'll keep trying it nalang sa free taste. HAHA

Now I'm just very worried because I only have 6 squares left in the box. hahaha I AM SOOO NOT GONNA BUY ANOTHER BOX SOON. I'll just get a pack of Andes when I finish the box. But I plan to try Machiavelli Chocolates (this is a Filipino owned brand btw) and Benoit (also locally produced by a Belgian who is married to a Filipina). We'll see if they can exceed Royce.

Have you eaten your favorite chocolate lately? Go ahead, reward yourself! yay!
