blissful nama

well, we didn't plan for any valentine celebration (as usual) but it is red-marked because we were invited to attend a kiddie birthday party.

i took a half-day off from work to be able to attend the party held in a clubhouse in taguig. it was fun and tummy-filling, with hizon's as their caterer and frostings cupcake for dessert, we felt we didn't have any room left for dinner. the party ended at around 6pm and afterwhich we went shopping for aquim's shoeses (yeah, shoeses). we didn't find the right size for him in this branch in high street so we went to rockwell, around 9pm.

while in rockwell, an idea popped into my husband's mind and told me he now knows what would be his perfect valentine's gift for me. so he left at us hobbes & landes (trying out the shoes for aquim), while he get the gift for me.

we were done with shopping around 10pm, and then hubby snatched me off from aquim and yaya, give his gift to me and then we went to the 3rd floor. there he showed me where he got the gift, it's royce's. haha! alam nya talaga na weakness ko ang chocolates. kaya pala super excited siya na parang alam na alam nya na matutuwa ako sa gift nya, kahit na impromptu. heheh thanks, daddy!

finally, i was able to taste the famous royce nama chocolates. haha! i just know that they are famous but i still do not know what to expect about its taste, etc. in short, i'm clueless. i've just read from blogs once in a while that it's a must try but that's it.

i was impressed that with the box of chocolates comes this thermal packaging and 'dry ice' to protect the chocolates from melting. hmm.... nice ha.

we went home, settled aquim to bed, then i had my time with royce. hahaha.. so i took it out from the plastic bag. i unwrapped the foil/thermal packaging. i opened the box. and then i had to open another film/plastic wrapper. and here they are. unassumming chocolate squares (actually rectangle) showered with cocoa powder. and there's the little "spoon" pala.

so i had my first square. it is ...different. blissful. it melted in my mouth instantly which makes me want to have more. parang it was there then suddenly it's gone, leaving no traces behind. hahah. not unlike the other chocolates that i've tasted, na tipong me matitira at me matitira for me to savour for a few more seconds. eto, pag natunaw, wala na! hahaha ..

in fairness, masarap siya. creamy. and i want more, more, more. haha. can't wait to go back to rockwell and try each and every kind. i dont know what variant did my husband get for me. i assume it was the mild cacao. but i want to try the other variants. and besides, royce is way much cheaper than godiva.

the maggot incident

hay nako.

last week, my husband was able to get the 'letter of apology' that i demanded from the resto that i mentioned on my last post.

juiceko.

when i read the 'letter'. i was dumbfounded. sus. the letter was not addressed to me. it was addressed to the area manager. it seems like the area manager was the one who requested for an explanation and the store manager gave her written explanation about what happened. and she was sorry that it happened. but they are NOT sorry that it happened on us. the letter was printed on a plain office paper. no letterhead. no company insigna.

and the letter was not signed. mygad. i can make and print that letter. and claim that it came from them. and of course, they can deny it.

hmpf. ewan ko. ano bang klaseng mga tao 'to.

i didn't bother na to follow up or to tell them that i am disappointed AGAIN with their customer service. if they can't even send me an apology letter, a correct and sincere one, no wonder they can't run their kitchen effectively at magkaroon ng maggots ang rice namin.

hmpf. talaga.
