MANILA, Philippines - As American cinema darling Forrest Gump said repeatedly, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
Who would have known Manila would get not just a box, but a whole new store of luxury chocolate delights from Patchi, the utterly decadent chocolate boutique from Lebanon?
Manilenos can now sample the heavenly Patchi chocolate collection through its newly opened boutique on Bonifacio High Street, Global City. Using only the finest ingredients, Patchi offers a range of over 54 different flavors, sizes and fillings that are individually wrapped by skilled craftsmen in a unique artistic way. Patchi’s packaging matches every single holiday from New Year’s to Christmas Day, momentous occasions like weddings, baptisms, and birthdays. There is a box for every celebrated family member, sweetheart, friend, or business associate.
Patchi’s unique position in the chocolate world is its couture philosophy: its five top-of-the-line chocolate factories around the world can create chocolates that will suit every market they cater to, fine-tune every nuance to the preferred taste of each customer base, so that they can be considered the best among a diversity of palates.
From its beginnings in Beirut in 1974, Patchi has grown to 143 boutiques in 26 countries, going all the way to offer supposedly the most expensive box of chocolates in the world at their corner in the ultra-posh Harrod’s in London. Patchi has since earned a reputation for creativity and uncompromised quality among its diversified clientele.
And so with Patchi, life is indeed a box of chocolates — but you do know that the best is what you’re gonna get.
