Chocolate and Ice Cream (see, we're on a food trend here)

It's alll about the chocolate... as I like to tell my relatives, I like Asian food and Western desserts. Chinese desserts consist of sugar syrup with beans, jelly, etc. and it's not appealing to me since there isn't even any ice cream. Of course, there are a few exceptions--ice kachang, which is basically shaved ice with multi-colored syrups and milk poured on top and random things on the bottom (I say "random" because I couldn't tell you what most of them are) is really good, but I like the ice and not the "kachang" (all the stuff on the bottom--that's for my mom :-). I just took a trip to the grocery store and discovered a couple of interesting things: 1. there's a huge variety of chocolate for me to try since a lot is imported from Europe and Australia and 2. Singaporeans seem to buy ice cream in smaller quantities than Americans do--almost everything comes in the equivalent of pints. But I was really happy to discover that they carry Movenpick ice cream since I hadn't had any since I was in Europe 6 years ago. Unfortunately, it's not as amazing as I remember it (sadness), so the best ice cream I've ever had was during last summer's trip to Scotland. If only I could remember the name of the brand... (though with my luck it'd only be carried in Europe anyway!).
