The whole Dubai chocolate trend has been pretty popular globally over the last year or so, and this new Lotte Dubai Style Chocolate Bar ice cream product capitalizes on that. The ice cream inner is made with actual pistachio paste, and the outer chocolate coating has bits of fried noodles and feuilletine throughout it for that trademark Dubai chocolate-esque crunch. I think if you like fun textures with your ice creams of choice, then this one will appeal to you. Price-wise I feel like it's not too bad for a more premium-feeling ice cream product. Not a bargain, but not as expensive as the likes of Haagen-Dazs.

Like I mentioned above, this product is nice if you like a bit of textural crunch in your ice cream products of choice. If that's not the case, however, then I think you should give this one a miss. Also, if you are just looking for an ice cream fix and don't care too much about flavor or brand, then there are definitely more economical options out there other than this one. I would say this is fun to try once if you're curious about the whole Dubai chocolate trend. I liked it well enough, but I didn't think it was so mind blowing that I'd be going out of my way to purchase it again.
