Let's Talk Food: Selecta Gold Series Chocolate Truffles

I've been seeing TV ads about Selecta's Gold series. They have 3 flavors: The Berry Strawberry, the Hazelnut Brownie, and the Chocolate Truffles. The first thing that got my attention, though, was the Chocolate Truffles.

The flavor was said to have been created by local chef, Rolando Laudico. The pictures from the posters alone were really making my mouth water in anticipation of the time I get to try this dessert out. And today, I finally did.

Nom nom nom.

As I type this entry, I am eating a cup of Chocolate Truffles.I split the cost with Eds, a co-worker who was also craving for ice cream, and bought one pint of this delicious treat. I've never been so excited about ice cream. Haha.

I guess my excitement was not wasted because the ice cream met my expectations, maybe even exceeded it. I was just expecting chocolate truffle chunks to be mixed in uberly sweet chocolate ice cream. But then again, they mellowed the taste of the chocolate based ice cream to make sure that the taste of the truffles is felt and enjoyed.

Funny story when we were picking up the ice cream from 7-11: Eds, my gay friend, said that he wanted to get the girly flavor - the Berry Strawberry - instead of the chocolate one. But I was really set on getting the Chocolate Truffles so I had to bargain with him. Now, when we get ice cream next time, it'll have to be the Berry Strawberry. Haha.

I recommend that you try this one out. You're seriously not going to regret it when you do. Prices go at 124.00Php for the 435mL, 187.00Php for the 800mL, and 312.00Php for the 1.66L. Gaaahhh. Even when it melts it's so creamy.

Seriously. Good to the last drop. Go. Buy. Now.
