Foodie Club Series: Yabba Dabba Yoggle!

 

 

Last Tuesday night, Richard invited the “club” to the newest Yogurt parlor to hit San Juan, Yoggle.  It’s located at the new RONAC building along Ortigas Avenue near the corner of Santolan Road.  If you need a landmark, it’s rubbing elbows with the new branch of Charlie’s Grind and Grill.

 

 

Frozen Yogurt has been the latest food craze that hit Manila’s pop culture.  It’s probably in its sophomore year but I guess I’m one of the few who haven’t joined the yogurt bandwagon.  My old school self still sticks to the yogurt/brand that has become a favorite that I can easily buy off the grocery shelves.  I have only tried two brands at this time and have eaten frozen yogurt or soft-served yogurt three times. 

 

But I might just have to add to that count.

 

Yoggle, pronounced as yaggle since the “o” there stands for a German letter, started opening its doors about three weeks ago.  Their yogurt supplies/mixes come from the US which translates to really high quality yogurt –and Yoggle gives much importance to quality assurance that they guarantee their customers fresh yogurt every single day.  Leftover yogurts are disposed of each night.

 

 

 

There are 8 flavors available to its patrons at any given time and they change the variety of the flavors on a 2 week basis to keep the Yogurt fanatics interested.  The flavors available that time include plain tart (which is a staple flavor), strawberry, kiwi, banana, taro, watermelon, vanilla and mocha cappuccino. 

 

 

What makes Yoggle fun and interesting for me is it gives me the power of choice.  I can choose just one yogurt flavor for my base or mix different variants in one cup.  At the display counter, there are several choices for toppings that include fresh fruit slices (for the healthy buff), cookie chunks, tiny colorful marshmallows (my favorite), white and dark chocolate chips, wafer sticks, various nuts and graham powder. 

 

 

The choice is definitely yours what trinkets you want in your yogurt.  Pricing will depend on the weight in ounce of your order, regardless if its yogurt filled or topping filled or both.  The price per ounce is PHP20.

 

 

Bubba finished 2 cups of different Yoggle yogurt flavors with assorted toppings but he very much preferred his Taro yogurt cup.  I got the Vanilla variant and was happy with the right balance of tart and vanilla.

 

Lauren is sooo adorable! 🙂

 

Have you tried Yoggle yogurt?  Well, be one of the firsts to get the dibs of Yabba Dabba Yoggle fun and head over Ortigas Avenue.  It’s open at 11am and closes at 11pm.  I’m sure you’d also want to stop by the diner next door and grab a delicious burger or wings 😉

Dave’s Natural Yogurt at Karl Edwards

 

 

Dave’s Naturals gave me my first dibs of frozen yogurt. 

 

Bubba and I did some shopping at Karl Edwards Bazaar a couple of weeks back.  I remember shopping with Bubba at Karl Edwards in 2006 and it was one of those things that really bonded us –Christmas shopping for family and friends.  We hit almost all bazaars in the Metro –even the one way down south –in Ayala Alabang.

 

 

We were both feeling nostalgic at Karl Edwards that Saturday afternoon.

 

Right after a semi-tiring but fun shopping afternoon, we had refreshments.  It was my first time ever to try frozen yogurt.  I’ve been invited to try fro-yos (frozen yogurts) before but haven’t found the time to do it. 

 

Being one not to join the bandwagon, your usual unconventional rebel, I decided to finally see (after a year or so) what the fuss is all about –why there’s a sudden surge of frozen yogurt stores in the Metro.

 

Dave’s Natural Yogurt

 

Dave’s Natural Premium Frozen Yogurt uses 100% pure yogurt, organic natural vanilla, raw fruits and sugars like muscovado and coconut sugar.  I had the Vanilla Bean premium fro-yo (PHP 75) and I really liked the play of sour and semi-sweet and natural flavors as it melts delicately in my tongue.  The tinge of sourness from the yogurt stays a bit but the different zest is likeable.

 

 

Dave’s Natural Yogurt is also available at Salcedo Market every Saturday and Legaspi Market every Sunday.
