AJ has forever been raving about this certain chocolate that tastes so good. The best thing about it is that it’s available almost anywhere (in Mini Stop outlets) and that it’s manufactured locally. Truly one product to be proud of, if we believe AJ’s story. Heh.
Piqued with curiosity by reading AJ’s article on the Goya Dark Mint Chocolate, I immediately set out hunting for this tasty catch. When we passed by Mini Stop in DM Rivera Street near Sts. Peter and Paul Parish in Makati, I didn’t hesitate and bought myself a pack.
When I finally found a pack of the chocolate (the last one at that), I quickly grabbed it and headed for the counter to pay. Holding it in my hand, it felt as if it didn’t even contain anything. Product of the packaging, I thought to myself.
When I got back at the car and opened the box, however, I found out something else about this chocolate:
Yes, as you can see in the picture, it’s totally ruined. The thing was all over the place because it melted and I didn’t even know where to start eating, so I just put it back in the box after tasting a small portion.
I don’t know if it’s Goya or Mini Stop to blame but if this is exported to other countries as seen in the back of the box, then how come it’s in no export condition? Although I believe the Mini Stop management is at fault for not keeping it at the right temperature. Heh.
Other than that, yeah, it tastes good. Like Peppermint Hot Choco from Starbucks good. =P So if you manage to find one and it feels empty when you shake it, think twice before buying , okay?

Haha honga! Kainis. Nafrustrate tuloy ako. Oh well.

Wah sayang naman
I think kasalanan yan ng mini stop. May mga branches talaga sila na medyo hindi careful yung mga naglalagay ng stocks sa lalagyan. Feeling ko dun nila nilalabas ang sama ng loob nila sa napakaliit nilang sahod LOL :p
Makabili nga rin :p

Ay pasaway! Hindi naging full circle ang Dark Goya chocolate experience. Sheesh. Matry nga rin yan!

In fairness, okay naman sya. Pero kung titingnan, dapat hindi naman nagmemelt ang ganitong chocolate diba? I mean… yung mga ganyang types can withstand at least room or a bit higher temperature. Bakit sya nagmelt? Extreme temperature lang makakagawa nyan. Baka tinapat ng Mini Stop sa blow dryer or sa stove. Wehehe. =P

Kung ako yan, ibabalik ko sa Ministop. In the first place, yung quality eh hindi okay dahil ganun nga ang condition nyang nabili mo.
Masarap pa naman panigurado! Haha.
