I was a bit excited coz I knew I’ll pass by Truffettes’ kiosk again. It’s becoming a regular thing – after our badminton session, we join our boss in his car and get off at Rustan’s Makati. Since the kiosk is located just a few steps in the middle after you turn left from Rustan’s exit, you will not fail to notice it. But earlier, I had made up my mind – I will not purchase or if I can’t really resist it, maybe just get myself a slice of cake (never ever tasted any TdF cake yet) co’z I was thinking I only have about a month to wait for that very precious package, mmmmm…my truffles.
But there’s an ongoing promo which is sooooo tempting (for me)… Two 500-gm packs for only PhP999. How can I resist that? And there was the “devil’s advocate” (a male colleague) telling me to buy since I just received my bonus pay (I forgot, hahaha). The regular price for the 500-gm pack is PhP740. Think… think… think. “No! I think i will have a slice of cake, instead. But will i go for the flourless chocolate wonder? Or the chocolate magma?” Both have the original truffles as ingredient. I finally settled for the magma for take home since I’ve already tried a number of flourless cakes. I want something new.
It didn’t stop there, though. I really can’t afford to pass up this rare chance (?). So I gave my number and told the storekeeper to inform me when they are about to run out of stocks. Then I could rush to this outlet and buy a kilo. But I really don’t think I will wait for her call or text. I want to buy soonest. This Friday! No sense in delaying. In that case, I can afford to consume a pack or should I say, I gotta finish at least a pack before my free supplies arrive, otherwise our tiny fridge at home will have all chocolates in it (also have other chocolate brands and I need extra space for other stuff).
As for the magma cake, my verdict… oh well, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 as the highest, maybe 7. I wouldn’t buy a second. Of course, I couldn’t speak for the majority. Still depends on your taste buds. So be your own judge. Find out!
