Choco Prep Day1: Buy materials and supplies

I need to make my Chocolate product samples to give.
I need to move faster since I was asked to bring one.

After few internet search of stores that offer the supplies and materials I need last night, I made my plan, to visit them today.
Thanks to other Chocolatiers who shared information via internet.

I started at Quiapo:
1) New Sin Kian Heng store at Carlos Palanca where I bought my very first double boiler, measuring cups with pouring tip.  Everything was two times (2x) lower the price of those stores in Cubao.  It took me 3 hours to wait before I got my order but it's worth it since I save half of the regular price.
2) Nuts Store located at Orosco, street at the back of New Sin Kian.  I saw their chocolate displays but a lot of people are waiting to be assisted.  Molds are P70 each but I didn't like their designs.   They do not have much. Their Premium Chocolate per kilo is Php 165 and Regular Milk is Php 150.
3) Killion at Orosco Street also, located on the same street and almost fronting Nuts Store.  They have better system of assisting their customer.  They posted instruction on how to place your order and for you to be assisted.  They have claiming area too.  Unfortunately, I didn't found anything I need from them.

After Quiapo, I went to Sta Cruz to take a bus going towards Alabang Zapote to visit Chocolate Magic.  I bought the rest of my supplies like: Premium & White Chocolate, CBS, Rice Crispy, Mallows and Mini Tray.  I bought 3 molds with the same kind only since I didn't see other interesting molds. 

It's late afternoon already and I feel tired.  With the routes I had, I need to rest so I decided to went home.

I know their are public vehicles from Marcos Alvarez Avenue at Moonwalk going to Molino so I tried to look for it and finally found it.

I haven't bought all supplies I need specially the molds I will be using so I need to visit Chocolate Lovers at P. Tuazon tomorrow to check their molds or else I do not have a choice other than to buy molds from Nuts store.  Hope I can find better designs so I could start making my chocolates to give.
