Sunday Spluge


I have a confession to make...

I'm a Shopaholic...

But I'm no regular shopaholic, I love to shop for books, baking equipments and out of this world baking ingredients...I'm always in a look out for good quality ingredients.


I've just recently found out through
Market Manila that Bacchus Epicerie is the local distributor of Valrhona chocolates! They sell them by the kilo! I was so excited!!! I know that they are quite expensive them being if not the BEST, they are definitely one of the best chocolate makers in the world. So I know I just have to have them!

Do I sound like an addict?!? Hopefully not, I'm just so glad I have them safely stored away in my fridge.
Inside the store I've got a WHOLE fridge filled with nothing else but Valrhona chocolates, different versions of it. Being not prepared for my chocolate expedition, I bought a kilo of good quality cocoa powder and a good quality dark chocolate. Any good pantry MUST have those right? So now all I got to do is where to use these exquisite ingredients.
While I was struggling, lugging around the mall those heavy chocolates, I saw espresso bean covered with chocolates!! Oh my, is this my lucky day or what?!?

    Good for you! I saw those at Bacchus in Power Plant a long while back, but I could not justify the cost with the frequency in which I make actual chocolate desserts (not to mention, even in bulk, it's still cheaper to buy Valrhona in the States, sadly). Right now when I make one, I buy them in 300g bars imported from Switzerland at a reasonable price- P280. There are also French 200g bars (54% cocoa) for a little over P100.
