One of my favorite places in Makati is Chocolate Fire, it's about a 5-minute walk from LKG Tower and they have hundreds of chocolate products for you to try. Having a sweet tooth, I couldn't help but feel giddy everytime I walk into this place. But who wouldn't when you have so many chocolates to choose from? And given that Filipinos generally love chocolates, I think they will enjoy the high quality artisan chocolates that this place has to offer.
It's quite pricey but this is expected from a specialty store as such. If I remember correctly, chocolate covered strawberries cost about 95Php and truffles for about 60Php a piece. They do have cheaper ones from 20Php also. Besides their chocolate selection, they also offer pasta, pastries, sandwiches and beverages like chocolate drinks, fruit juices and even wine. But I think that this is more of a desserts place, there are other restaurants in the vicinity for your main course.

My favorites from the store are chocolate covered strawberries and dark truffles. I was able to try their chocolate covered bacon as well, I was quite hesitant at first because I didn't know how meat and chocolate would taste together. But the sweetness of the chocolate complements the saltiness bacon- this combination makes for an interesting taste.

This cake is very light, not too sweet. It's actually a good option for those who don't like sweets too much but in all honesty I'm not a big fan, I would really just splurge on the chocolates next time.
The ambiance is very laid back too, they have a couch where you and your friends could opt to stay while talking over dessert. I have only tried a few of their products but I love this place (and chocolates, of course) so I would definitely go there again to try the others.
