Watching a movie at The One tonight, passing by Tuttimelon and suddenly wondered whether I had written a review on it or not. Per checking my food blog, find no signs of tuttimelon's existency. Hence we decided to taste it again,
Although opening for months, there was still a line for people to queue for the froyo. Tuttimelon works by weighting Froyo, there was only1 cup size available at store and the cup was huge which was pretty much a rip off. There were like 8 or more flavors available at store, you could have the flavours alone or have them mixed together to give a twist to the taste. The store runs a DIY style, you squeezed the amount of froyo you want, add the dry as well as wet toppings as much as your like by yourselves. Everything was decided by customers and usually customers are always out of their mind when it comes to DIY. Hence I could pretty much sure everyone's cup must cost over $30. What I love the most about the froyo DIY machines was that there was signs describing how tarty, sweet and creamy the froyo you are about to get. Although I found it not very trustworthy later, it was still a good reference to the customer.
Dry Toppings Session |
We had Original, Honey Dew and Yakult flavour all at once, we also added some mango and Oreo crumbs on top of the original and the Yakult flavour, but left the Honey Dew clean from topping.
DIY usually ended up UGLY :( |
Original - The Original was rather mediocre. It was pretty sour like a yogurt and its sweetness was all right. Although stating a max in creaminess on the froyo machine, the froyo was not creamy at all. There was no milk taste or what so ever in the original froyo. The tardiness was fine though, the texture was nice.
Yakult - The very first spoon of the Yakult flavour, you could only taste a heavy sourness in it. It was the after taste that will give you a taste of Yakult. I do not particular like this flavour. Since the original had already given the sourness already, there wasn't much need to invent another taste with sourness, especially when the taste difference could not be easily distinguished.
Fruits and some other weird jelly like toppings. |
