Yami Yogurt

Having tried the various brands of frozen yogurts available in Singapore, I personally feel Yami Yogurt offers one of the better tasting and value for money yogurts. You can choose from three sizes of cups; regular, medium and large with the regular cup costing only $2.30. The yogurt fills the cups right to the top and I feel the servings are pretty generous. They also have a huge range of toppings to choose from which are not as expensive as other yogurt shops. The downside is that they are usually only four yogurt flavours to choose from at any given time.

Like most yogurt and ice cream shops, samples are readily given when requested. One thing I noticed about Yami though, is that instead of giving you a half spoonful of product that you requested to try, they sample their yogurts in little cups. It was refreshing to notice how generous that comes across. If you are new to frozen yogurt, I would suggest trying the peach flavoured one as the taste is mild but not too plain like the original ones. Some toppings you can add along with your yogurt are fruit pebbles which are colourful sugared cereal. If you want something healthier, you can go for the raisins or mueslis. Alternatively, you may also choose fruits like kiwi and honeydew as a topping.

Yami yogurt is a great alternative to other sweet (and usually unhealthy) desserts such as ice cream. Combined with the good bacteria and live cultures, frozen yogurt make a healthier choice.

Yami yoghurt or I would personally call it Yummy Yoghurt is a yoghurt-chain that truly exemplifies the word ‘refreshing’!

Being one of the best makers of frozen yoghurt, customers are given 3 yoghurt flavors to choose from aside from the original flavor. There will also be new flavors of the month and as usual it tastes great when accompanied with the various toppings available! Still, while I declare my love for the peach flavored yoghurt (makes one feel like getting the real peach itself) I love the original/natural flavor all the same. Slightly sour but still melts in your tongue with a cooling- feeling! Love it when I eat it with toppings of ‘fruit pebbles’ or raisins - the blend of a slightly sour, sweet and fruity taste does give the tongue quite an excitement!

As for the outlets, they are all quite small, so if you’re just with that one buddy, it would be nice to sit and chat while enjoying your yoghurt. Typically found in many shopping malls too, (the one at lot 1 shopping mall has no seats though) Otherwise, simply take away! Yami yoghurt is quite the option when u feel like having dessert or wish to replace that fatty ice cream u crave to enjoy- because yoghurt is a healthier alternative after all!

Yami yogurt is one of the cheaper yogurt chains out there at $2.30 for their smallest cup. However, I do not feel that their yogurt is up to standard and I would rather pay more at another shop to get better quality yogurt.

Not only is the taste not especially fulfilling, but the portion is tiny as well. For a dollar more, you can get a much larger portion at most other yogurt shops. Once, I bought yami yogurt together with my friend and she was sorely disappointed when the lady simply took a cup of yoghurt out of the fridge and gave it to her! Although it was still edible, it was more frozen than usual and did not have a creamy texture so she had to scrape it to eat it. This spoiled her mood and she felt totally cheated!

Their toppings are also cheaper than other shops though, and they give around the same quantity. Another good point is that they always have a wide range of flavours such as Peach and Pineapple, although I do not really like most of the flavours. This is a personal preference so perhaps there are others out there who like them.

I feel that I would rather pay more for a better tasting, creamy and bigger cup of plain yoghurt than go for Yami Yoghurt’s tiny portions.

Many different brands of yoghurt chains has been sprouting since frozen yoghurt, or 'froyo' in short, started gaining popularity a few years ago. I was once a Frolick fan, but that was before I tried Yami Yoghurt. You might think all frozen yoghurts taste the same, but you are so wrong. Each different brand of yoghurt has its own unique taste and texture, which is why some people may prefer a certain brand to another. To me, Yami Yoghurt has just the right acquired taste which I love!

For just a few dollars, you can get a regular cup of natural yoghurt. For those who prefer flavours, Yami also has a few other flavoured yoghurts, with peach flavour being the top favourite! Usually, just a cupful itself would be satisfying enough, but Yami also also offers a wide range of toppings, from cereals to chucks of fruits and nuts, you will definitely be spoilt for choice! I especially love fruity pebbles on my natural yoghurt. I would have it everyday if I could!

If you frequent the place, you will also get a loyalty card whereby you can get a stamp with every $3 spent in a single receipt. Accumulate enough and you get a free yoghurt! What are you waiting for? Zoom in to the nearest Yami Yoghurt outlet and try it for yourself!
