The Yogurt Place plus Giveaways!

Recent years there are many yogurt stores coming up in Singapore such as Yami Yogurt, Sogurt, Sour Sally, Frolick, Yoguru Yogurt and etc. To be honest I seldom visit yogurt stores unless I have run out of homemade yogurt (recipe), but If I did my frequent stores would be either Yami Yogurt or The Yogurt Place.

At Yogurt Place, they have both Frozen and Greek Yogurt depending on your choice and their Frozen Yogurt could be kept in the freezer for about a week (7days) if you intend to purchase in bulks. Although they might not have huge varieties of fancy toppings and some of the fruit compote might be slight sweeter as compared to others. But I love their freshly made "Greek Yogurt" which is smooth and creamy.

Their Greek Yogurt comes in two different flavour such as "Plain" or "Green Tea" in 4 different sizes shown below:-

~ Standard(180ml) @ S$3.90/cup
~ Large(240ml)@ S$4.90/cup (shown in the photos here)
~ Mini Jumbo(360ml) @ S$6.90
~ Jumbo(750ml) @ S$12.90

To add in some extra flavour or crunch you could choose additional toppings such as Strawberry, Mango, Kaya, Fruit Pebbles (more details here) at S$0.90 per serving

Yogurt Place also offers Frozen Yogurt which available in 3 different flavour such as Plain, Strawberry and Fruity Pebbles. These frozen yogurt could be kept in the freezer for about 7 days so that you could enjoy it even at home too.

RECIPES WITH GREEK YOGURT

As mentioned previously there are so many ways which you could enjoy eating yogurt either plain with honey, topped with your desire fruit compote, fresh cut fruits, granola, or even use it as an ingredient for cooking/baking.

This is a very delicious and easy to make Lemon Yogurt Cake which you could make use of the Greek Yogurt. More detail of the recipe here.

Instead of the usual Hollandaise sauce which is made using egg yolk, butter, lemon juice and pepper, I have replaced it with Greek Yogurt which is healthier and lighter when pairing with the poached egg and bacon. Recipe of this dish will be available in my recipe blog soon.

Yami Yogurt Vs Yogurt Place

Basically Yogurt is good for digestion due to the presence of those live cultures and it also helps to maintain good skin and bone because of its rich source of calcium and protein. Yami Yogurt has about 11 outlets around Singapore that offers a wide range of yogurt in assorted flavours at affordable prices. Besides its nutritional value I also like the smooth and silky texture of their yogurt which you could eat it plain or pair with your desire toppings.

I didn't know that eating Yogurt can reduce bad breath until I read up a article about this “Yami Yogurt” that helps reduce Bad Breathe Hydrogen sulfide compounds which bad breath. It also suggest that by consuming a cup of Yami Yogurt every day it can actually lower the bad breath triggering sulphide compounds and as well get rid of the tongue coating bacteria. No wonder there is always long queue around the counter but friendly speaking I do love the taste of their yogurt especially with those mixed fruit and nuts toppings.

“The Yogurt Place” is another yogurt paradise that offers freshly made Greek Yogurt with wide selection of choices from frozen yogurt, smoothies, drinks and waffles (menu HERE) using their unique freshly made Greek yogurt. Compare to Yami Yogurt, Yogurt Place would have more varieties of items on their menu for patrons to select.

I tried this "Mango Yogurt with Mixed Fruit Cereal" toppings at one of their outlet at Toa Payoh HDB Hub.Taste wise was quite ok but  the texture was kind of grainy and not those firming type.  So for me I still prefer the yogurt from "Yami Yogurt" compared to this.

Do you have any special favourite yogurt whereabouts to share with us? If yes, I would like to hear about your view too.
