Are you ready for another visual experience?
Â
Â
When in Manila, its impossible to resist chocolate creations such as Dipped Fresh US Strawberries :
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
…delectable chocolate & peppermint cakes :
Â
Â
Â
Â
…cake blobs & rum cake…
Â
Â
Â
Â
…and a whole lot more!
Â
Â
Â
Â
Yum!
Â
This one of a kind chocolate haven is also called Chocolate Fire, located in the heart of Makati Central Business District at PDCP Bank , cor Levsite Street & Rufino St, Salcedo Village Makati City.
Â
Maybe we could start with the end in mind. You gotta wonder what got these kids all thumbs up & smiling.
Â
Â
Â
Â
It must be the cozy ambiance inside that has been frequented by people from all walks of life, from expats, to yuppies and to kids.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Check out that chocolate counter! Chocolate Fire is originally from Australia and has put up its first offshore branch here in the Philippines in 2010.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Since then it has generated a following of chocolate lovers who go here for the exquisite selection of Belgian chocolates and sumptuous dishes.
Â
Lets take one of their bestsellers, the Mortadella Sandwhich.
Â
Â
Â
Â
It uses the freshest vegetables. All meat & dairy used in their dishes come  Australia. And you know how meat & dairy products are there – just AMAZING.Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
The same goes with the Fire Dog which goes with an assortment of dips to match your taste.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
From the looks of it, this was their favorite so far!
Â
Â
Â
Â
And the Bolognese  was just divine. It’s the meat & the ingredients that makes it different from other other Bolognese I’ve tasted.Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
The best match to these fresh selection of savoury dishes were the milkshakes which had just the right amount of sweetness to it.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
These dishes are great for lunch or snacks anytime you feel like chomping on some great food.
Â
But the fun has just begun for us! That’s when this came : Chocolate Dipped dried fruits & Pringles! I personally loved this because of how healthy it looked and the mixture of fruit & chocolate in the mouth was simply refreshing. Of course the kids loved the dipped Pringles.
Â
Â
Â
Â
This was the highlight though for us moms. An assortment of Chocolate Barks (its called bark because they really look like tree barks – which is really a sheet of chocolate covered with nuts & other ingredients) … not to mention the truffles.
Â
Â
Â
Â
These Belgian chocolates come with the finest ingredients from around the world, and are all hand-made, with no added chemicals, preservatives or additives.
Â
There were Hazelnut, Cranberry, Coconut, Honeycomb & Almond Barks along with the truffles and the Irish Cream (which is a must-try because of how soft it is when you bite into it – I never knew chocolate with liquor could taste that good).
Â
Â
Â
Â
These are just a few of the finest chocolate Chocolate Fire has to offer. There is a vast array of styles (over 70 on display each day)!
Â
This kind of chocolate would be perfect with champagne which they also offer. That would be a nice way to spend an afternoon or evening over a good chat with your friends.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Eat. Love. Smile – is definitely a way to describe dining in here.
Â
Â
Â
Â
And just in case you’re not going anywhere out of the city this Easter, Chocolate Fire is opening its gates to the magic of Easter on April 8, 2012 in a Chocolate High Tea Buffet 2-6pm.
