FOOD FINDS: Unit 16 Sweets

Daughter and I happen to see the food bazaar in Glorietta last Sunday and espied this stall selling chocolates. Actually, what attracted us are the nice wrappers ... then the flavors!

After playing (or was it watching) Kingdom Hearts last year, daughter's been bugging me about Sea Salt Ice Cream. I guess Sea Salt Chocolate is the next best thing! ;)

So we bought a bar of Sea Salt chocolate and another bar- Peppermint Chocolate (I love chocolate mints). A bar costs P50, not bad and its locally made too.

We first tried the Sea Salt Dark Chocolate or rather, dark chocolate with sea salt. Wow! Love at first bite. Even hubby enjoyed it. I love how the sea salt breaks the creaminess of the chocolate. Another wow factor is that the texture is very smooth, no grainy bits.

As for the Peppermint Dark Chocolate, I love the minty flavor but I find the chocolate sweet and not dark chocolatey-ish. Texture is similar to the other one. Thumbs up!

Both flavors lack the bitterness of dark chocolate though but I'd still give it a thumbs up. And by the way, the smooth texture is similar to Serg's! Haha. Serg's was a childhood favorite so I'm not sure if all of you are familiar with it especially the young one's. ;)

You can find Unit 16 Sweets on facebook.

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow!

NEW RESTO ALERT: Hà Nội Phố (Ha Noi Pho)

Makati has been a go-to place for my family and I to grab a meal or sometimes just to have a cup of coffee. Though, really, it’s mostly just us visiting our favorite spots. Recently, my mom went out of town so it was just my dad and I who went out for dinner.
