Choc Nut or Cloud 9?

We went to Goldilocks in Cerritos for brunch on Sunday, and the last time I ate there, about 15 years ago, I didn't care for the food quality. The Kare Kare didn't have enough peanut butter. Actually, the food quality at Goldilocks in Cerritos SUCKS. I ordered up the Fried Bangus, which actually was quite good, but the rest of the food was pretty much garbage; The Lechon Kawali was not crispy, the Crispy pata was not tasty, and the fried chicken tasted like Fried duck. The garlic fried rice was way too greasy, and the Kalamansi juice which at $2.99 a glass, tasted like it came from a can. My mom told me the Lumpia Sariwa is good, and all the rest of the food is terrible, and my mom is right. If there is ever a restaurant that relies on its name it is Goldilocks. The food is so very mediocre at best, and the white rice, it has to be the cheapest grade on the market.

ON another note, we went to the super market next door to Goldilocks and bought a couple of these:



Now I first bought these back in 1989 when I had a chocolate fix, but the stores in the Philippines didn't have any decent chocolates in stock at the time. As a matter of fact, all they had were Choc Nut and Cloud 9's. I've been a fan of both for a long time, but the Choc Nut, well they are a powdery type of candy, that sorta, and I am being generous, sorta taste like some type of chocolate, I am just not sure what kind. I've had five already this morning, and am going downstairs for more. I've a sweet tooth right now and these are pretty much fulfilling the crave.
