Cacao

I was in pamper-mode yesterday. I decided to reward myself with a few bits of chocolate from this chocolate vendor in Megamall. It was 24.90 per 10 grams. It was quite pricey so I just got two pieces just to give it a taste. I am a chocoholic and I don't mind paying a hefty price for quality chocolates.

Dang! I was soooo disappointed. What I got tasted like it was in the shelf for a long time. It was cake-y and no longer melts in the mouth. I was hoping for quality at par with Leonidas, Godiva or Royce. It was so poor in quality that I wished I spent it on Hershey's, Cadbury or Mrs. Fields.

What's most unsatisfactory is that the sales lady deliberately cheated me out of my change. It wasn't a lot and don't usually mind if they didn't have change. She thought I wouldn't notice. Duh!

If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
