This Chocolate Mango is delicious but the mangoes they use are not of high quality. There are a lot of threads present and this takes out the fun in eating. There was also an instance wherein the thread was to thick.
It is good for Pasalubong though as it is affordable.
Salted Caramel seems to be the “In” thing now and dried mangoes have joined in also.
I bought a box of Cebu’s Finest Mango Caramel at Island’s Souvenirs during my Cebu Trip and just recently got to taste it. I regret not having bought more.
The Box looks deceiving as the box is quite big and when you open it you will find just a few wrapped pieces of the mango caramel.
The Mango Caramel is sinfully delicious! Every bite is heavenly. The mangoes they used are of the finest quality. The mango is not like other dried mangoes where there are threads.
Next time i go to Cebu, this will definitely be in my list of to Buy Pasalubong!!
Mango Caramel can be purchased at Island Souvenirs branches in Cebu. It is also sold at island’s souvenirs Naia 3 branches.
While in Cebu i did a Google Search where to buy the best Sylvanna’s in Cebu. My search pointed me to a house in Tojong Street, Mrs U’s Sylvannas (just Next Door according to the Island Stays Website) and The Cebu Country Club Sylvannas. Since the last one was a Country Club and you have to be a member to enter i crossed that out of my list.
I asked EPC to bring me to Islands Stays along Archbishop Reyes Avenue. From there i walked to the Commercial Establishments just beside it. I looked for Mrs U’s Sylvannas but could not find it so i went back to the Car and told EPC to go straight on the Street where he was parked (the street was Tojong). The #20 TOJONG Street turned out to be just beside Island Stays. So i went down and pressed on the doorbell and after a minute a maid went out. I asked about the prices, she said P488 for the Big size and P388 for the small size. I got 2 of the Big Size since it was recommended.
Back at the hotel I placed the Sylvannas inside the Hotel Ref. But i took a piece first to see if it indeed was as good as they said. Honestly it was good but not Extraordinarily Good, not the same Level as Sans Rival of Dumaguete but Good enough. It is rather too sweet for my taste also.
I am confused though if Mrs U and Nena Montenegro are just one and the same. There is no other Sylvannas seller beside Island Stays beside #20 Tojong and in their website it clearly states Mrs U is located next door.
Nena Montenegro’s Sylvannas can bu purchased from the MLM Bakeshop, #20 Tojong Street, Cebu City. Beside Island Stays. P488 for the Big Size, P388 for the Small.
As we were about to leave Argao, i saw the Chitang’s Torta sign again. The sign was too big not to be missed. We followed the sign and it led us to a Bakery. There were a lot of people coming and going. And everyone brought with them a bag of the wrapped delicacy.
The price for the torta was P35 each or 3 for 100 for the big size while the smaller one was priced at P25 each. I asked the seller what it tasted like , she said that it was like mamon but that it did not use yeast. For it to rise they used tuba.
I ordered several pieces of the torta plus their other delicacies .
Balamban Liempo Cebu is a Liempo Stand / chain found everywhere in Cebu. I got to taste this the first time in Talisay a few years back and it made me crave for it everytime we are in Cebu.
The stuffing found inside the liempo, i think are sampaloc leaves plus tanglad mixed in with some other ingredients. This gives the liempo that to crave for flavor. The skin too was just sinfully crispy. A whole liempo as of writing costs P185.00
Yesterday, my friend Anita gave me 2 Boxes of R&M Choco Mangga (White Chocolate).
When i first tasted it yesterday evening i wasnt that impressed but when i had it this morning i got so addicted to it that i just had to control myself from eating more.
Anita said that this particular product is just for the Export Market so that it means it cannot be locally.
I have a new favorite Candy! And its Alpenliebe Caramel and Cream Candy, priced at Just Php 20 for a pack (USD .50) for 50 pcs. I am just hooked that i got to finish 20-30 pcs in a day and the result.. sore throat. A better alternative to Werthers and the taste is almost the same but at a much much cheaper price.
