I'm back! Can't believe next week is week 12 of my final semester, which means few more weeks to finals but yet I am so unprepared for the last finals in my degree life. I wish I could stop procrastinating and concentrate more on my studies.
But before that, I need to update my blog! No matter how busy (or lazy) I am, the habit of blogging should not stop! My writing skills and memories are deteriorating sigh.
Let's continue on my foodie journey in Setapak area! You could have a look at Part 1 if you are interested!
3. Yixi's Rice Yogurt 壹席酸奶
Another hidden gem in Setapak! Unlike those beverage shops which invested heavily in advertising activities, I barely see any advertisement done by this shop. The yogurt shop has been there since I started my degree, and I discovered it through an insta story of my coursemate. Their cute smiling water droplets logo caught my eyes. But their location isn't strategic and their lack of advertisement have caused me postponing my plan to visit the shop. Until a point where I got fed up with the mushrooming bubble tea shops in Setapak, I finally recalled the existence of this shop and decided to drop a visit.
As a huge fan of yogurt, the natural taste of their yogurt drinks immediately stole my heart. Many yogurt drinks found in the market are nauseatingly sweet because they contain an excessive amount of added sugar to get rid of the sourness out of the yogurt. In fact, yogurt is not supposed to be sweet. Natural yogurt drink should have a tasty sour tang because yogurt is resulted from the bacterial fermentation of milk. Unexpectedly, Yixi's Rice Yogurt manage to find a delicate balance of sourness and sweetness! I have visited to similar yogurt drink shop, such as Hey! I Am Yogost 我是酸奶君 and Yomie's Rice X Yogurt 有米酸奶. Both shops' yogurt drinks are disappointing due to their sickeningly sweet taste.
My boyfriend's and my favourite drink in their Yixi's Yogurt Smoothie series is the Organic Oat Yogurt! Both of us love the on point proportion of yogurt to oats. Their oats' texture are neither mush nor too hard but chewy! Every single bite of the oats would give you a rich taste of yogurt, probably because they soaked the oats in natural yogurt beforehand.
If you are a big fan of purple rice, their Purple Rice Yogurt is definitely your cup of tea! The difference of the purple rice yogurt sold by Yixi and Yomie is the ratio of purple rice to yogurt. My classmate who likes grains prefer Yomie's Purple Rice Yogurt because it contains a high proportion of purple rice. I personally find the purple rice in Yomie's Purple Rice Yogurt is way too much which makes the yogurt drink tastes unpleasant.
Another recommended series is their Fresh Fruit X Yogurt Smoothie series. I have tried Banana Yogurt, Passionfruit Yogurt and Papaya Yogurt. This series taste sweeter than the Yomie's Rice X Yogurt Smoothie series because it contains the natural sweetness of the respective fruits added. My friend found Banana Yogurt too sweet because the sweetness of banana has covered the taste of yogurt. The Passionfruit Yogurt tastes surprisingly good but I guess it really depends on whether you like passionfruit. However, Papaya Yogurt is not recommended because my boyfriend suspect that they accidentally used overripe papaya to make the drink (advantage of having a chef boyfriend?).
My best friend Jia Qi and I have been actively promoting this shop to our friends because we know their refreshments deserve more love and attention. I have friend who even came all the way from OUG to Setapak to try it and she said it worths the effort! How we wish that they would listen to our feedback and collaborate with GrabFood or any food delivery companies so we could have it after we move out from Setapak area.
In short, I really love the pleasant, refreshing and healthy yogurt drink sold by them! The price of one cup of yogurt drink is same as one cup of bubble tea (approximately RM13) and it is definitely healthier to drink yogurt! So, why not take this chance to quit unhealthy bubble tea and join the healthy drink squad? :P
