Chocolates make the best pasalubong.

Especially if it's La Maison du Chocolat.

And most especially if you are at the receiving end. Lol! :)

La Maison du Chocolat's Tamanaco is an introductory voyage to the origins of chocolate.
After having assembled the best cacao crus from around the world, La Maison du Chocolat
selected and crafted recipes with distinct and elegant ganaches for chocolate aficionados
to discover all the subtleties of this brown "gold"

Recommendations for tasting:
1. Cut your chocolate in two. Yes, Sir, with my teeth!
2. Drink some water between chocolates
3. Chocolate reveals its flavors best at a temperature close to 20°C

My favorite is the part when I get to lick remnants of all the different chocolates off my finger

 

Uh oh, I forgot to drink water.

Guess I'll have to repeat the whole process for a proper tasting. ;)
