Desperately looking for mango yogurt

When we arrived in Singapore, at the serviced apartment, we discovered a mango yogurt from Switzerland and liked it very much. As we moved to our place we started to buy it and continued to do so until about a month ago.

Singapore is an island and everything we eat or drink is shipped there by sea or by air. Every now and then, shipment is late and one can face an empty shelf in stores. That's probably how it felt in communist countries back then. Usually there is a little sign saying "temporarily out of stock" indicating that you have to wait for the next shipment.
Sometime in June, our mango yogurt disappeared from the shelves of our supermarket. We survived without it for a couple of weeks then started to worry. What if they had decided not to ship it anymore to Singapore?
To reassure ourselves we did two things:
- checked every supermarket on our way and literally bought all their stock
- wrote to Emmi to ask whether they were still shipping to Singapore. We actually got an detailed answer from their Sales director confirming that two shipments were on their way.
Until then, we keep searching for our mango yogurt and even got Tess to join the effort in our desperate search for yogurt.

I know you're thinking why can't they eat another brand. Because they are not good! We tried them all and were very disappointed: too much sugar, not enough mango...
