Chowking's Nai Cha

Before the rise of Milk Tea house in the Philippines Chowking is already serving Nai Cha on their menu.

During my Zambales visit I tried Chowking’s Nai Cha.

It was not as best as the other Milk Teas that I love but definitely worth my 39 bucks. If you cannot find any Teas house nearby you may opt to try or replace it with this one.

We Didn't Start the Fire - Chocolate Fire Review

Chocolate Fire is no ordinary dessert store. Aside from their chocolates they serve sandwiches, pasta, rice meal, salads and more. I prefer dark chocolate than milk chocolate. I simply love the bitter taste at the end.

When we arrived at Chocolate Fire the waiters courteously asked if we need their assistance for our order. Actually there’s no process on ordering it's just like choosing your order from the display items. What made it difficult for us is to decide on what to choose from tons of their chocolate display. BTW, they don’t allow picture taking of their display items.

Here's our orders. Tadaaaa…..
Fondue for Two with Milk and Dark Chocolate Dip
Fondue for Two – composed of strawberries, almonds, brownies, marshmallow, wafer, dried mango/pineapple and bananas plus milk and dark chocolate for dip. We were four in the group. The order is just enough for us since each one of us ordered either sandwich or sausage meal. Milk chocolate was a blockbuster. I admit that I’m not really interested to try the milk chocolate at first. Surprisingly, it was really good! 780 php

Blueberry Stick
Blueberry Stick – this is the one of my favorite for the night. The fruits were not flat. Blueberry + chocolate for me are very refreshing. The sweetness of the berry mixed well with the chocolate. 35 php/stick

Dipped Raspberry and Truffles
Dipped Raspberry – just like the Blueberry minus the sticks. 35 php

Truffles – with chocolate shavings. I really Love this one! The chocolate was perfect. I even ate it slowly to have time to savor the taste. 60 php

Fire and Ice
Fire & Ice – Dessert over dessert. This is Ice cream topped with whip cream and almond shavings. I didn’t try the ice cream. Instead I just scoop on some whip cream. 290 Php

Their Butterfly Iced Tea aka House Iced Tea is also good. 115 php 
My chocolate fire experience was superb. Their chocolates are definitely something that will keep you coming back for more. Though a bit pricey, I really think that it’s really worth the price. I’m looking forward for my next visit.

Just a suggestion. Since Chocolate Fire is Located at Makati’s CBD area its best to visit them late night to avoid traffic and trouble looking for parking.
