The grandfather of one half of the romantic duo behind Dream Wide Awake passed down the tradition of tsokolate de batirol (a Filipino cocoa that’s mixed with a wooden stick specifically designed for chocolate). At their pop up stall focusing on coffee and chocolate beverages, they even use a sturdy old brass pot which has their grandfather’s name etched at the bottom, signifying that this pot has melted generations worth of “tsokolate”. And it’s used in their mocha coffee, which produces a bitter and dark chocolate flavor, creating a more authentic tsokolate experience. It’s inspiring to see someone realize the value of a tradition nearly forgotten by time. Their concept is part of The Good Trade Fair’s roster of eco-friendly stalls focusing on reducing waste by serving food and goods using recyclable materials like glass bottles and package-free items. Make sure to catch them today through Sunday at Central Square in BGC.
