Choco Pastillas - A Review

Hi Friends!  Let me share you about a delicacy called, "Choco Pastillas" that I recently bought online.  In the Philippines, "pastillas" is a dessert mixed with milk and sugar.  It is very sweet and delicious, most kids love them.  As I was browsing through my news feed on Facebook, I saw this picture that caught my eye.  It says "Php54.00 per box with 16 pieces."  The pastillas was uniquely shaped in square, drizzled with chocolate.  I got more enticed of it because of their lovely boxes.  As they say, presentation is the first impression.  I couldn't get enough thinking not to buy this so I texted the seller and decided to meet up the next day.  I bought two boxes to try it out first, and could probably give them to my close friends later.

So here it is:

Square-shaped Pastillas with Chocolate

Lovely boxes - Nice Presentation

I went to our meeting place and the seller handed me over the boxes.  My impression? -- A little bit dismayed, but not totally. The boxes were still lovely, just that, I was expecting a bigger one.  The pastillas were still 16 pieces, but arranged on top of each other. I've understood now because each size is the same as a watch dial.

Enticing, isn't it?

Flattened Pastillas

How about the Taste?--- Delicious!  Indeed it speaks for itself, "addictive."  With 16 pieces, that's enough before you can get a tonsilitis because of its sugary, sweetness.

Suggestion:

Cost -  It costs Php54.00 for 16 pieces.  If only they were larger in size, then the price would be just alright.

Recommendation:

It's great to share this with your friends on lunch breaks.  It's also good for souvenir items, and could be a nice gift for special occasions like Valentine's Day.  Boys can give this to their ideal girls.  For girls, don't be afraid to treat yourselves and forget diet once in a while.  For parents, with the taste and presentation, I'm sure your kids would love this!

Until the next review! :)
