Times have changed since Forrest Gump said “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get.”
Now, customers are spoiled for choice with many different decadent varieties of chocolate to choose from.
At the country’s premier lifestyle and entertainment destination, Newport World Resorts, these sweet confectioneries take the spotlight on World Chocolate Day celebrated every 7th of July.
Indulge in an array of decadent chocolates at the Garden Wing Cafe in Newport Garden Wing. Their selection of pralines and truffles is made from locally-sourced chocolates, supporting the property’s sustainability initiative. With flavors like Dark Rocher, White Rocher, Green Tea, and Coffee, as well as Coconut, Pistachio Log Marzipan, and Tabasco for the adventurous, there’s something for everyone.
Hotel Okura Manila is highly recommended for their elegant pralines. Made from 68 percent dark chocolate couverture, the dark pralines offer a bold and well-rounded taste. The milk chocolate pralines provide a rich and smooth flavor from their high cocoa butter and milk content. The white chocolate pieces strike a harmonious balance of milk and natural vanilla, offering pleasant sweetness with floral undertones.
For World Chocolate Day, Marriott Hotel Manila is the place to be. Their Marriott Cafe features a variety of cakes that will make any celebration extra special. From the Caramel Chocolate Mini Cake with caramel sponge, cream, and nut glaze to the popular King James Cake with super moist chocolate cake, crème de cacao, kahlua, and chocolate ganache, and the plant-based Chocolate Truffle Cake with vegan chocolate mousse, ganache, moist cake, and chocolate crunch, there’s a cake for every taste.
On July 7, The Lounge at Sheraton Manila Hotel celebrates World Chocolate Day with a cup of traditional Tsokolate de Batirol. Relive childhood memories with this rich and creamy drink made with local chocolates.
Newport Mall offers an abundance of chocolate options. Cafe Mary Grace’s Chocolate Rum Tiramisu, featuring espresso-soaked sponge cake, mascarpone, and dark chocolate ganache flavored with Don Papa Rum, remains a popular choice. Barcino’s Tarta de Chocolate is another best-seller, and Italianni’s Tartufo with dark and white chocolate mousse and fudgy frosting provides a decadent ending to any meal. Lastly, don’t miss the newly opened ROB’s Mississippi Mud Pie, a silky chocolate-filled delight topped with ice cream and chocolate shavings.
