Häagen-Dazs, the second-best ice cream maker in the world, has set up shop in Kenya. This luxury ice cream brand is intent on targeting Kenya's middle and high-class who have a chunkier disposable income; with a 500-ml tab retailing at Ksh. 950.

The salted caramel and macadamia brittle nut set my taste buds on fire. Their ice creams are absolutely sumptuous and definitely a must-try.
