Tsokolate Manila 101: Tsoko Nut Batirol

Tsoko Loco
Tsoko Nut Batirol

There is this Cafe I once went in SM Makati then recently in Worldwide Corporate Center in Shaw Blvd. which serves this frozen drink. It looks like your usual coffee shop but difference is it is more of a Filipino Themed Shop. The drinks from the menu are from a kapeng Barako and Tablea Chocolate. The food also have Bibingka and Ube Macapuno Cupcake. Even the athmosphere of the shop is so Pinoy. It have paintings of chocolates and one thing that caught my eye is the "Batirol". It is a wooden mixer used to prepare chocolate during the old times. I'd like to have one because it seems that the flavor of the chocolate is more exquisite when it is being prepared manually and by heart.

Then I've got to order this drink - Tsoko Loco. It tastes like the Tsoknut we all love when we were kids up until now. Difference is from the usual candy-like chocolate, it is now in a drink - frozen and with whipped cream on top! It is affordable for a price below 100php. Presentation is good as well, cups if it is to go and mug or glass when dine-in. The taste is something every Filipino will surely love.
