Seriously too cute and sweet for health @ Juicy Bear

This juice bar used to be some Taiwanese beverage joint.

Now it is brightly decorated with a display of fresh fruits surrounding the counter and staff cutting the fruit.

 

The juice bar has a cute bear paw logo with a polar bear inside the paw.

 

The logo and font stands out as it has used blue and orange which are complementary colours on the colour wheel.

On the menu it offers mostly juice, however they also have fruit vinegars and sorbets too.
I felt like a detox so ordered juice.
I thought the fruits were going to be freshly cut and juiced but they already had pre-cut ones in the fridge to save time.
One of the fruits in this juice mixture was HAMI-MELON and while they were preparing to put other fruits in the blender I saw them pour syrup in the blender!!!
Its meant to be a juice bar for the health conscious and they put syrup in the fruit juice!
This is the first juice bar that I have come accross that adds syrup.
HAMI-MELON is super sweet itself that it dosnt need any more syrup.
The staff at the juice bar claimed that all girls liked to have syrup added.
As well as syrup, water and ice were also added.

I just felt that this juice bar defeated its purpose of being healthy by adding syrup!
Just like a restaurant claiming to be MSG free and adding twice as much salt.

 

Ms Penguin creamy dreamy icecreams, milkshakes and froyo

This dessert/milkshake place has been opened for a long time, but no one has listed it on Openrice until now thanks to IvyCWK.
I have tried to add it on the OpenRice database so many times but it never got through because there was no telephone number for this place but its a food court so there was no telephone number.
Hopefully this place is still open now! (six months later since I last went).

 

It reminded me of Dairy Queen because of the Penguin and the arctic vibes it gave me.

Basically this place offers milkshakes or dessert which is a choice of ice-cream, green tea ice-cream or yoghurt.

I was hoping to try a sample of their yoghurt but they said they could not give out samples.

Anyway I ordered the milkshake and I had a feeling I was going to like it anyway. The milkshake is blended with a choice ice cream, green tea ice cream or yoghurt, hence that was why I wanted to try their yoghurt.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The milkshake was blended with whipping cream as shown on the photo, but since it tasted so good it is definately worth the calories for that creaminess and the cream topping if it is available!

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was very attracted by their ice-cream based milkshakes and the ingredients you can choose to blend with it because they had stuff like Kit Kats, Snickers, Twixs’, and even Cadbury’s Flake (A rarity in HK)!!
In the end I chose the ice-cream to be blended with TWIX and next time I will try it with peanut butter.

For the toppings, it was really cool, they had Kellogg’s crispies, but I chose Cadbury’s flake, it was sold out so I chose cream and that was sold out too, so I just went without.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Apart from personalised choices, you can also choose the set flavours which are cool as well, which leads my curiousity on whether is a local joint or a western joint because each drink is characterised such as Rowdy penguin, xcitement penguin, gym penguin, surprise penguin, Ms penguin signature and more.

For the choice of chocolates there are: Twix, Crunch, Kit Kat, Mars Bar, Toberolone, M&M’s, and more.

Froyo with strawberries and maltesers

 

Froyo
The froyo was really nice, it had a natrual yoghurt taste and the fruit was actually blended in with it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

ice-cream
As for the ice-cream, I really liked that as well, I am not a fan of soft serve, but this one was similar to Turkish ice-cream which has an elastic texture.
The temperature of all their items were not freezing cold.
Again it was really creamy and had a strong vanilla taste.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Milkshake
The milkshake was contained in a cup that was from the Juicy Bear, so I did not post that picture because it might confuse people.
The taste of it was amazing, it was extremely creamy and milky like Hokkaido milk. The sweetness was just right even though it was blended with TWIX.
I believe there was milk added to it because it was not thick at all, and the temperature was not ice-cold like ice-cream, but cold enough.
The twix tasted really nice blended in, because it tasted like dipping biscuits in milk.
