I bought a $40 worth of cash coupon at $20 from a groupon website months ago, but have always lacked the opportunity to actually redeem the coupon and enjoy the discount of 50%. after the 'small' lunch at Mak's noodles plus some walk up and down soho and central, we stopped at the Yoppi (at last) for a quick (and cheap) fix.the store was filled with foreigners when we arrived. i had to kinda 'compete' for space in front of the self-help yogurt outlets as two teenage girls moved around to squeeze
the store was filled with foreigners when we arrived. i had to kinda 'compete' for space in front of the self-help yogurt outlets as two teenage girls moved around to squeeze hell lots of froyo into their already-too-full paper cups. i sampled with a little original (really tarty which is nice), rasberry (little sweeter than the original) and some strawberry (artificially pinkish and tastes awful) before i squeezed swirls of original and rasberry yogurt into my small cup.
Then came step 2: the toppings. there was quite a large variety to choose from, but many of the dry toppings were not appealing to me - there were a large choice of breakfast cereals but many i dislike, and all you have for dried fruits are only raisins. the granola did not look appealing to me too, and there was nothing between oreo powder and coarsely crushed oreo wedges - if only there were less fine oreo crumbs! luckily there were the sesame powder and peanut crunches which i really like. The choice of fruits was also wide - they look promisingly fresh and sweet - and we had some blueberries, mango and banana slices (the bananas look freshly cut as they had not been darkened by oxidation). I also spotted the mochis which (i guess) came in original, green apple, orange and strawberry, and i picked the first three flavours. If you were a fan of fruity syrups, there were also a few syrups which you can garnish your hearty cup with.
Step 3 - weight and pay. We had a little more than 9 oz and only had to pay $1 extra - that means the heap of froyo with toppings in front of us cost only $21! a bargain indeed.
A short comment on the froyo- i really love how the original flavour is sour here cus what's being served at Milky Cow, the #1 store i ALWAYS go to, is way too sweet. I have told the lady there for numerous times about the sweetness of their base but it seems that nothing has been changed since day 1 of its opening. Afterall, its yogurt they are serving, and yogurt are supposed to be sour, at least. it has to be refreshing and light, and i see no point in having something as milky and heavy as ice creams for snacks or a reducing lunch.The fruits were juicy, sweet and fresh. Really nice. The skin of the blueberries were a little tough however, but they were already good enough, being big and fleshy.
Sesame powder and peanut crunches varied the soft and smooth texture of the froyo, bringing in an oriental aroma and taste to the snack from the west. And i really love the mochi - they were chewy but not too tough, and were really tasty, since most mochis are as tasteless as plastic cubes. this is something different - and the mochis of different flavours actually DID have different tastes. yum yum.
the environment was also quite comfortable with all the sofas and chairs and stuff. But one little thing that worth commenting is that i notice the yogurt were melting and dripping from the machines, and the rasperry yogurt was halfway melted when i squeezed..quite scary and unhygienic indeed.
but apart from this minor issue everything is cool and nice - sour froyo, fresh toppings, and really lovely sesame powder. i will come again for sure-even if i no longer have the 50% off coupon and have to pay the full fare!
