Froyo surrounded by garden magic @ Fru:yo Factory

I was attracted by its name: Fru:yo factory, I was expecting there would be lots of yogurt dispensers just like Tutti-melon and Tutti-Frutti.
I was expecting the experience to be fun like visiting Charlie's chocolate factory such as getting toppings from turning carousels, or cute containers on a conveyor belt just like a real factory.

There are two branches, one in Causeway Bay and this one, two extreme places, one in city side of Hong Kong and the other in the urban side of Hong Kong.
Usually, shops will open either in the city or in the urban areas to see how it goes, and then expand to the other areas.

Anyway, the interior was indeed fun, there was a fountain in the middle where you could sit around it, however the fountain was not flowing.

I liked the tiling on the floor the most, it was printed with flowers in between the lines which looked quite realistic.

 

The main theme of the yogurt was the elephant, I couldnt quite understand why this was chosen as a mascot, I felt that ladybirds or fairies would suit it better, but then these are the type of western styles I have been brought up with.

 

Its wooden approach and earth colours made it down to earth and naturistic, whilst the fonts and names of the drinks made it feel American.
The spoon matched the joint as well; it was matt material and light beige in colour.

 

For the froyo there were only two flavours, original and chocolate.
I tried the chocolate first and it was too strong and floury, so I chose the original.
The original was very thick, but quite sweet. They were very generous with the toppings!
I chose the caramel kanten, which was clear and glistened in gold.

 

After from froyo they had drinks too with attractive names such as: Sunshine in love, blue breeze, gold coast.
The gold coast was interesting because it was kiwi based
 

 

The perfect balance of Cheese cake, softserve @ La Balance Ginza

I am not a fan of Japanese cheesecake, or soft serve ice-cream unless it is the soft-serve ice-cream from Kasho Chaya.

But anyway tried it.

It costs $35 per cup and the standard items are ice-cream, a piece of cheesecake, and a choice of sauce which are mango, custard or chocolate.

I chose custard sauce and the colour of it was pale yellow.

I do not really eat these items separately, but it all tasted nice together, the cheesecake which is usually a bit dry and tasteless was moistened by the lovely cold ice-cream, but it was quite bland because both the cheesecake and icecream were not that sweet.

The custard sauce made the ice-cream and cheesecake come alive.

This dessert is perfect for those who don't like overly sweet things.

It reminded me of having scones with clotted cream with custard sauce!

Froyo made high end and artistic @ Smile Yogurt & Dessert Bar

There are so many places selling Froyo these days that competition is fierce.

I was attracted to this place because their froyo was artistic.
Instead of plain froyo with toppings, they looked like artisan sundaes with attractive names.

Some of the toppings were interesting such as the vanilla crisp, which were thinly baked vanila biscuit/cookies shaped into long curls.

 

They also had these pretty biscuit sticks similar to the Japanese coated biscuit sticks.
One of the toppings was weird, it was called "fruit salad" but at least they used greek yogurt instead of Heinz salad cream.

 

I wanted to try the froyo, so I just got plain froyo with green tea mochi.
The mochi was very different to the other places, it was thin pieces of powdered mochi squares!

 

As for the froyo, it was boring but too sweet.

 

 

The decoration of this place was quite modern and upscale.
