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.

Transportation, more convenient

When we say Cavite, City people often imagine of a provincial setting.
Though YES, it is a province, I am glad that we are staying now in the province of Cavite.

I use to dislike working in Makati because of the difficulty with regards to transportation from where I lived before, in Quezon City.  With the availability of Public transportation from Molino, things changed.

Just right across of our place, public transportation are available going to MRT, EDSA, the very first MRT station from South.  Crowded but not too difficult to catch the train, unlike if you would start from Quezon City.  Rides going to Lawton are also available.  Terminal of public transportation nearby going to Makati is very much convenient for people working near Pasong Tamo in Makati.  You can find it right infront of Camella Homes, beside Celestino Market.  And if you are going to Alabang, no need to go via Zapote because there are available rides also beside Celestino market via Daang Hari and Filinvest Alabang.  Less traffic, less time of travel and the best thing is less fare.  Isn't it great for people of Molino?

Along Molino Road, public transportation also are available going to and from Imus (via Pag-asa) and Dasmariñas (via Molino Boulevard going towards Aguinaldo highway.  Not only Molino residents are benefiting on these but also the other neighboring town of Cavite.

Because of these, I accepted a project in Makati from a friend.  For more than a week, I have no complain on getting to Makati except for the traffic, but acceptable.  It's the price the Caviteños gain in exchange of many developments we are experiencing.
Though I didn't finish the project due to some concerns, I had a good time.  Maybe, it's not meant to be.
