Day 109 - Chocolate Reward

My dad's accumulated miles from an airline were about to expire but since there wasn't enough to redeem a plane ticket to anywhere, we used the miles for chocolates instead. Therefore, Asia Miles now just might be my favorite miles because they give chocolates as rewards. :)

These are called "Origin Bars" because supposedly, the cacao used in making them aren't mixed with cacao from other regions, but purely from the place that the label says, i.e. Madagascar, Ecuador and Vanuatu. We've only tasted the one from Vanuatu and it's delicious. I have no idea what the number is for, though.

I think the % is the cacao content :) Usually pag 50% na, considered dark chocolate na. I think the Hershey's dark chocolate is about 50%, tapos meron pa silang extra dark (the more expensive one, of course!) that's about 60%.
