Yogurt Place

I went to AMK hub cos I wanted to find a cheap Spirited Away DVD (the China made kind but with English subtitles - I managed to get Howl's Moving Castle for $12.90 but no Spirited Away!) but none of the many VCD stores had it! Anyway, this is the Yogurt Place in the AMK central building and they were having a special promo where the medium cup costs $3.90 instead of the usual $4.80. Yogurt place serves both yoghurt with different toppings (strawberry, blueberry, mixed berry, nutella, chocolate chips, oreos etc etc) and they also have ice cream yoghurt. For people who can't decide between the two, you can have a half-and-half one, like me! I had blueberry yoghurt with yoghurt ice cream. I think the combination of yoghurt ice cream and yoghurt is fantastic. The ice cream melts into the creamy yoghurt and makes it colder. It's best to eat both together in the same scoop.
The ice cream isn't very creamy, and has the sour taste of yoghurt. Not as sour as yami yoghurt though.

Snow Ice

This is the snow ice from Ang Mo Kio hub basement. The place is really a madhouse during weekends - it's as crowded as town, just tt the shops there are not as pricey.

Snow ice is this incredible dessert (one of my fave cheap-er cold desserts, apart from Mr Bean ice cream and those pushcart ice cream vendors) and it's really hard to find. There used to be one at Chompchomp and at Queensway, but they all closed down :(

Snow ice is like shaved ice, just that its milkey and flavoured, and doesn't have those sharp jagged edges like normal shaved ice. Really nice to eat and it is melt-in-the-mouth and cold and sweet.

This strawberry snow ice with fresh strawberry and syrup cost me $3.90, but they do a syrup topping one (no fresh fruits) for $2.90.
Another flavour that I really like is the Taiwanese Blackberry with milk ice - I really dunno what a taiwanese blackberry is, but it's this little pokey thing which looks a bit like blueberry but is more sourish. Yum!
