Snack Review: Family Mart Revel Bar

This is actually my second time eating this revel bar from Family Mart.  After finishing my first, I thought that it was good enough to warrant its own review.  So here I am, in the name of information dissemination, sharing the gospel of FM Revel Bars, so that it may flourish (hereonafter).

The bar costs 35 pesos, same as the Lemon Bar it's often found beside.  I didn't care much for the Lemon bar -- it tastes as advertised. The revel bar, on the other hand, tasted divine!  It wasn't dry, it had a sizable layer of chocolate, it wasn't too sweet, and it was sized just right.  35 pesos for a bar this small does seem a bit expensive, but any bigger and it'd make you feel queasy from having too much.

I've tried revel bars from you typical fancy schmancy food bazaars (in Eastwood and other MegaWorld properties, usually) and they didn't strike me as something I'd go back for, in particular.  These bars from Family Mart had me going back a couple of days after (would've been the day after, were it not for the relative rarity of Family Marts, compared to, say, 7-11s).

Aside from serving revel bars, this Family Mart at the corner of Del Monte Avenue and Sto. Domingo, in QC (right across Siena College) was pretty unusual in itself: it actually had a restroom! This place used to be a restaurant/fast food chain, and I think that's probably the main reason why it still had a vestigial restroom.

Now this restroom was probably smaller than a broom closet -- I pity the girl who had to make use of it, as she'd probably barely fit (with her arms and legs touching three walls).  At least us guys just have to stand to do our business.

For 35 pesos, I'd be hard pressed to find a dessert item that'd give a better yum/price ratio.  Family Mart is quickly becoming my go-to location for food (try their sausages, and their pasta, and their soba, and their sushi, and their...and their...).  Hopefully, they'll have more branches set up and maintain their food quality.

Verdict: 4.5/5 Highly Recommended
