Is the viral GODIVA x LABUBU collaboration worth the hype and the 95k price tag? This review dives into the insanely rich Hazelnut Chocolate Soft Serve, complete with a cute LABUBU spoon. Find out if the sophisticated, premium taste justifies the cost. But be warned, this is a takeaway-only counter with no seating! Get the full scoop on the flavor, price, and essential tips on how to score a deal before you decide to splurge.
Anjay, has your social media feed been flooded with the GODIVA x LABUBU collaboration lately? As a huge chocolate head + toy collector enthusiast, how could I miss out! I immediately rushed to Plaza Indonesia over the weekend, but when I saw the price, whoa, one ice cream cone is almost 100k, I was just stunned on the spot…
Is the taste worth the price?
Since I came for the collaboration, of course I had to try the limited edition Hazelnut Chocolate Soft Serve[1]! 🍦 It was so cute when I got it, and it even came with a little golden LABUBU spoon. One bite and, OMG! An insanely rich dark chocolate flavor instantly took over my mouth. It's not that cloyingly sweet, artificial saccharin taste, but a sophisticated touch of bitterness[2], mixed with the nutty aroma of hazelnut. The texture is unbelievably smooth, like eating pure melted chocolate. The waffle cone was also super crispy, with a satisfying crunch. Mantap!
My friend who came with me doesn't like ice cream, so she ordered an iced chocolate[3]. Although the 180k price made me gasp again, I took a sip... and it was amazing! It was so pure and made with real ingredients. It felt like they melted a whole bar of high-end chocolate to make it. The sweetness is very low, the kind of sophisticated taste that adults would love.
Let's be real…
Alright, enough with the praise, time to complain a bit. Honestly, the price is really not cheap. 95k[4] for one ice cream cone is enough to make your wallet hurt. As for the portion size, some friends said it's about the same size as a McDonald's cone[5], but I think it was quite generously filled; the entire cone was packed. Whether it's worth it really depends on the person. It's okay to splurge once in a while.
Most importantly, this is just a counter in the mall, with absolutely no seats to Nongkrong[6]. You can only get it to go. For all you girls who want to sit down nicely, take pretty pictures, and post on your social media, you can give up on that dream. You basically have to eat it while walking, which is a bit of a mess, hahaha.
