A New Found Obsession.......Yami

Natural Yami with Fruity Pebbles

They say that Singapore is the cross-roads of flavor with so many exciting cuisines available.  As you know from prior posts, we have not been loving the local food as much as we had been told we would.

That has started to turn around, at least on the sweet side of life.  In came Yami Yogurt. 

It all started for me one day at work when I saw a few of the admins eating out of these small styrofoam containers with tiny neon green spoons.  I inquired about it and one of them quickly ran to the freezer to hand me an extra cup they had picked up and were saving in the freezer.  Within a few bites, I quickly knew that this was something I wanted to enjoy.

You see its not like the frozen yogurts or ice cream we have back in the States.  The yogurt is closer to the texture of firm soft serve ice cream but not sweet, in fact the mildest of the flavours (natural) tastes similar to the tartness of plain yogurt.  They also serve peach, guava and mango flavors each becoming successively more tart.  Once selected, you then move on to what I think makes Yami Yogurt so special.......the toppings!

Toppings are an artform. You can choose from a mutitude of tiny diced pieces of fresh fruits like kiwi, strawberry or watermelon or move to something more adventurous like wheat germ, granola, sunflower seeds right on to Fruity Pebbles!

I introduced Dannette to Yami about two weeks ago and we have since been back twice for her to enjoy.  This past Sunday John was with us and got his first taste of Yami.  He also was quick to agree that Yami is really good.  We each have our favorites and are enjoying the chance to mix and match flavors.

Not a very exciting post but wanted to be sure to recognize Yami as the first food in Singapore that we all agreed on!  Yami fever must be catching as I just looked around and see they even have a Facebook page with over eight thousand fans.
