The staves (they're not people so I guess I stick to this plural form) were good, and I loved their texture. I also like the fact that Royce' staff (the people now) packaged the box with some ice in a neat foil wrap to ensure it didn't melt on my way home. They let you try samples which is why I ended up buying a product worth more than P500 with no apprehension. Not cheap, but they're more affordable than Leonidas. There's also Cacao (at Megamall, don't know where else they can be found), which sells imported chocolate but a smaller, and I think local, operation. I am searching for premium Philippine chocolate/cocoa. A friend in NY managed to buy good Phil chocolate at a trade fair but was told it was a one-time batch.

I just wish I was there in HK so I could buy all those delicious chocolates! I wanted to be a chocolatier and just started making truffles :D I did try some truffles that are available in malls or hotels here in the Philippines, I have yet to try Royce and the ones being sold at Shangrila Hotel Edsa.

There are many chocolatiers here in HK. La Maison du Chocolat is so good. Their macaroons are divine. Royce Chocolates are available at Rockwell, if I am not mistaken.
