A chocolate renaissance comes alive at Hotel Okura Manila, where the Yawaragi Pastry Boutique unveils a decadent collaboration with homegrown chocolatier Theo and Philo. The collection includes the richly layered Coco-Cacao Cheesecake, available in whole and mini sizes, alongside a flaky Choco Pili Croissant and a soft Milk Chocolate Ensaymada—each treat enriched with local cacao’s bold character.
