Trying Cebuano Sikwate in the Philippines

Cebuano sikwate

The hotel breakfast had a few local items available this morning, including this drink called sikwate from Cebu. It looks like hot chocolate, and basically was hot chocolate when you consider that it's made from ground cacao beans (yep, apparently the Spanish brought it over). It was gritty and without sugar though, so it was nutty and slightly bitter. I like dark chocolate though, so this worked for me.
