Patchi Chocolates from Beirut found its way to the shores of the Philippines, onto my desk and eventually, to my ever excited taste buds.

Once you enter the Patchi store, it is easy to be intimidated. Their display of gift baskets of chocolates are worth at least 4 thousand pesos.

May dalawang taon na rin ang nakalipas nang na-i-post ko ang tunkol sa Divisoria Shopper’s Map: A guide on the whereabouts of the things you need to buy in Divisoria.
