Though started in 1978 in America, Ben & Jerry’s has only recently made it to the dessert market in Malaysia. How recent? Well, its first ever Scoop Shop in the country has just officially opened earlier this month. (Though, technically, it’s been in operation since 30 August 2019).
Oh wait, before that, let’s find out where it’s located.

| How cute is this Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop? |
To find it, follow your nose. Just kidding, waze your way to Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall in Petaling Jaya, then head on over to the mall’s Central Avenue.
By the way, did you know that the shop offers biodegradable paper straws and wooden spoons to customers? You get to enjoy delicious ice-cold treats without harming the environment!

Also, if you spot cakes and muffins in the shop, that’s because Ben & Jerry’s in Malaysia has partnered with eat X dignity (a homegrown initiative that provides underprivileged students with entrepreneurial opportunities in the Food & Beverage industry) to create baked goods that will be made readily available at the Scoop Shop.
Alright, now we moo-ve along to the 16 available flavours in store. If you’re unsure of what to get, picking one the best-sellers is a safe bet: Cherry Garcia, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chunky Monkey, New York Super Fudge Chunk, Triple Caramel Chunk and Tonight Dough.

Any of the other ice cream flavours sound just as yummy, too. They are Chocolate Therapy, Coconut Seven Layer Bar, Coffee Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz (sounds like someone on their ninth cup of coffee that day shouldn’t be getting though), Salted Caramel Blondie, Strawberry, Strawberry Cheesecake, Sweet Cream & Cookies, and Vanilla.
Then there are the sorbet choices, Berry Berry Extraordinary and Lemon Sorbet.
Since the names are pretty explanatory, you don’t need to ask much before ordering unless you’d like to know more of the ingredients in them.

| Ice creams, milkshakes, and more! |
As any foodie knows, ice cream is a delight even in other forms, so the shop also offers new shakes, sundaes and ice cream cakes. There’s even a wide of range of merchandise if you’re not content with just edible goods.
By the way, the best-selling flavours we mentioned above, take note of them because you can also find them in pints and mini pints at major supermarkets like AEON, Jaya Grocer’s and Sam’s Groceria.
