I tend to forget a lot of details about my childhood.  But, one of the sweetest moments in my life is recalling the days that my relatives would give us a pasalubong bag of Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolates.  As a chocoholic, I confess, my first love was with Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolates. 

As the elder sister, I would always be the one who will open each bar to share with my little sisters.  My favorite is the Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit & Nuts so it's the first one I always open among the bunch.  On the other hand, my little sister is fan of the smooth and creamy Classic Cadbury Dairy Milk so its the next we open otherwise she'll pout. 

Now that we're older, gone are the days when we received those kinds of goodies.  But, Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolates is still present in our lives and very much close to our hearts.  Among our fridge's sweet treasures is a Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolates bar.  The variant available actually depends on which of us buys it.  If it's me then for sure, it's Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit & Nuts.  If it's my little sister, its the Classic Cadbury Dairy Milk. 

Sometimes, we try the other flavors too just to break the ice.  So far we've tried the Cadbury Dairy Milk Cashew, Cadbury Dairy Milk Roast Almonds, Cadbury Dairy Milk Macadamia and just recently, the Cadbury Dairy Milk Cashew & Cookies.  Although the usual nut combinations are good, I enjoyed the Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit & Nuts the most because it's a mix match of smooth and creamy chocolate that melts in your mouth with nutty crunchiness and chewy raisins.  The Cadbury Dairy Milk Cashew & Cookies is also interesting because I love both Cashew and chocolate cookies.  They have other selections with fillings.  We've tried the Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramelo once but it made us miss the nuts!   

Our family isn't much fond of the sweeter chocolate variants.  We prefer it dark.  So, I already foresaw my mom picking the Patchi Eighty Bar.  So, how did it fare?  In terms of texture, it was smooth enough but not the finest.  The flavor is a bit mild for me.


Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Patchi offers good quality chocolates.  But, for the price there are better options out there.  I guess we still prefer our old time favorite Swiss Chocolate called "Lindt 80% Extra Thins" or Toblerone Dark for a cheaper option.

How about you?  What do you think?

Ever since I was a child, I have always looked forward to an awesome summer and I'm glad it's finally here!  But, we can't deny how the tremendous heat is here in our tropical country.  We'd want to chill out somewhere cool and comfortable whenever we can.  A great place to chill is Jollibee.

Where ever you are, you can always seek refuge in any Jollibee branch.  You're sure to be refreshed and re-energized with the new Jollibee Floats the comes in two new flavors: Coffee and Chocolate flavors.
