The Image of Indulgence

As an additional treat for my mom, I got her this: mini-chocolates from Haagen-Dazs. It's the branch in Orchard Forum and interestingly, I didn't see a single scoop of ice-cream for sale there. Only cakes and chocs

The nice little carrier it came in....

There, the box out of it's carrier. Getting closer to the main character liaoz :)

Tada! First look at the 4 nuggets of bliss I bought for mom. You can only see the "Vanilla Sublime" on the top right. Do you see "Perfect Tea Harmony" peeking out on the left?

A top view shot of all 4 pieces.

The taste test: "Vanilla Sublime" as expected, had a strong does of vanilla essence nicely encapsuled in the thin crust of chocolate outside. So thin in fact, you hardly taste it over the vanilla cream inside just waiting to explode on your tongue. The pistachio nuts on sprinkled on it adds a nice crunchy texture to it as well.

Last but not least, "Perfect Tea Harmony" - as apparent from it's appearance, it's a green tea based praline in a bed of green tea infused (again) cream. I would say it was refreshingly different, but not something I would choose normally. Posted by Hello



Made the choices for these flavours as my mom doesn't have a sweet tooth at all and rarely enjoys chocolates in the first place. Was hoping the somewhat different tastes of these ones will suit her palate.

Yes, I tried them at the shop first before deciding on my purchase :P



ps - Laura~~ thank you so much for finding out how to post multiple pics! It's a breeze now! :)
