Your Cheat Sheet to Manila's Most Sinful Chocolates

by The Click List
 
 We've decided to jump into the "mistress" bandwagon that's currently trending in the Pinoy pop culture. But instead of featuring popular three-partied relationships in the biz, we shine the spotlight on everyone's favorite mistress: this rich, irresistible, and diet-wrecking thing called chocolate.
Whether you're buying a gift for your significant other or looking for an excuse to break your diet, you better bookmark this rundown of Manila's best artisan chocolates.

Kiss


Sinfully by Makati Shangri-La

2nd Level, Greenbelt 5,
Ayala Center, Makati
(63 2) 729-6626

First kisses are never forgotten. More so if they're bold, rich, and surprisingly fruity like these lip-shaped chocolates by Sinfully by Makati Shangri- La. On your next date, give your date a French Kiss (P60 a piece)-- a dark chocolate bonbon with raspberry filling and a fruity taste that lingers in your mouth. We're 101% sure she won't resist!

Grand Marnier


Machiavelli Chocolatier

Ground Level, Rustan's Glorietta 4

Not too long ago, eager entrepreneur and serious chocoholic
Raul Matias opened Machiavelli Chocolatier in Glorietta 4. Named after his favorite author, Machiavelli's creations aim to marry Asian flavors with traditional European chocolates. The result? A delectable range of bite-sized chocolates blocks that feature flavors like the classic Grand Marnier, Purple Yam Yum (ube), Guava Asia, Yema de Manila, and Lychee Noir.

Branches in Powerplant Mall, Greenbelt 5, Trinoma, Eastwood Mall, and Robinsons Ermita

If 'silky' and 'melts in your mouth' are your preferred adjectives when describing your kind of chocolate, we suggest that you head to the Royce' kiosk nearest you and grab as many Nama Chocolates (P580 a box) as you can afford. Velvety smooth and highly sensitive to temperature, Nama chocolates are fine mixtures of quality chocolate and cream. They're incredible; we can't help but think that Nama chocolates are Japan's best gift to the world, next to sushi.
