Adieu.

The moment my mother brought home an ohh-soo-goood tub, I know that it was a special one. It has this creamy texture combined with the right flavour; creating a prime after taste. Over the years, I take delight in buying it whenever I can, and when it opened its cafe here in the country, I really made a point to eat in there.

Sadly, in this case, not all good things will last until we can no longer eat. I first saw the news through a tweet. I immediately searched for it, and bang – there it was.

I contacted their marketing department (feeling close lang haha!) to verify the details. Their marketing team explained to me, that I can still buy Haagen Dazs products at S&R market.

Phew! At least there is still a way to get a hold of these babies. Well, I soon learned the truth. I immediately made plans to specifically dine at their Shangri-la branch, but because stuff at work and at home caught up with me – needless to say, I forgot my plan.

One day, before heading to the MRT station, I saw that the cafe is still standing and selling! I immediately told my BF that we need to eat there after doing some errands. When we finally got there, we saw that only two remaining flavours were sold and that the crew were taking ‘farewell pictures’ of all sorts.

I also asked the crew on whether I can still buy Haagen Dazs at the grocery. But they told me that the ice cream won’t really be available anywhere. True enough, the proof was seen when I checked out their horizontal freezer – all remaining products were reserved.

In the end, I am happy that I was able to eat one last time at Haagen Dazs. If you happen to pass by now, you will see an empty space where the cafe used to be. I know, someday I can eat again one scoop of that memorable ice cream.

Note: When I passed by a Hobbes and Landes store, I saw freezer containing Haagen Dazs products. Do check it out when you spot one, my eyes might be playing tricks on me.

'til next food post!

Ciao,
