Personally I prefer Mövenpick (But of course that's personal taste). In addition, it matches the SWISS philosophy of providing more & more swiss products much better than Häagen-Dazs would.

Any sighting of Mövenpick icecream this year? I'm getting live reports from two FlyerTalker friends as I type this, one in ZRH E SEN Lounge and the other in FRA A26 Lounge, and they both report empty Mövenpick freezers!

F Lounge in E has an Ice Cream Bar where they serve you with a good variety of different tastes. In the F Check-In Lounge they have the Ice Cream as well, but just the usual version in closed cups.

Not that wrong. When I arrived last time I was the only one, but the Check-In was delayed for about 3mins because the three Check-In agents were talking to each other at the entrance and needed 3mins in order to recognize me. I just waited quietly. :-) Probably they should have told me "just take an Ice Cream until we finish our talk".

The same ice cream was offered in flight. Problem is it was totally melted. I would describe it as lightly chilled cream.

We're talking about business/SEN lounges, not first class lounges. It's not like the rest of their product (especially in A) is anyhow "premium".
Mövenpick is solid. It's not great indeed, but perfectly adequate for the rest of the product. In Swiss grades, it's a 4-5

Mövenpick products are perceived differently in different countries. In Switzerland, they are considered solid but in no way premium, in other parts of Europe they have an "elitist aura" attached to them, probably partly because they are from Switzerland, a country with a reputation for excellent chocolate, cheese etc. -- It's not so dissimilar to the perception of, let's say, Weber grills in the US and Europe: West of the pond they are considered average home-depot grade grills, east of the pond they are "premium".
