Weekend treat at Haagen Dazs SM Megamall

Hubby and I decided to splurge a bit some weekends ago with the kids. We decided on Haagen Dazs at the Mega Atrium in SM Megamall.

At Haagen Dazs SM Mega AtriumWe liked that it was very relaxed since it was right after lunch. There weren't too many people, in fact I think we were the only ones seated at the time. We were given these colorful hardbound picture books to order from -- yes, those actually are menus.

Haagen Dazs FondueWe eventually decided on the Fondue (P880, pictured above) for the four of us (hubby, myself, son, daughter) to share. It came with 16 mini-scoops of ice cream in Macadamia Nut, Strawberry, Cookies and Cream, and Coffee flavors. There were also spongecake cubes, cookies, fresh fruits, picola sticks, and roasted almonds -- all for dipping into the rich chocolate sauce.

Haagen Dazs FondueWhen you dip a mini-scoop of ice cream into the chocolate and let it stand a bit, it sort of freezes over and forms a crisp chocolate coating. You can roll it onto the small bowl of chopped almonds right after dipping so you get a chocolate and nut coated treat.

A pricey indulgence but worth trying at least once. :)
