Yoyogurt

(strawberry milkshake, dawty and her yogurt in a cup with smarties and candy sprinkles, older son with his yogurt on a big sugar cone with the same toppings as Ate and 5kg jars nutella)

This is my second yogurt post for this month. :) As what was previously said, I don't usually get my fix of yogurt craving unlike the kids. I stock yogurt and yogurt drink (like yakult) in the fridge for them. Speaking of yakult makes me think of Japan again. Seriously do I have to link every post to them? Waaah. I'm just glad that Mommy Clang of Kizuna has sent a message that she and her family are doing okay, save for a few things to be cleaned at home.

Yakult (yakuruto) is derived from yogurt too, it is a Japanese probiotic milk-like product made by fermenting a mixture of skimmed milk with a special strain of the bacterium Lactobacillus casei Shirota. (I remember this from the TV ads lol).

Yoyogurt also serves crepes, fillings of which include apricot jam, strawberry jam, nutella, vanilla or a combination of any of them. I hadn't the chance to try as I was still so full from an earlier lunch out. We only decided to try out the place as I got another deal from Groupon.

Other delectables to choose from would be doughtnuts, milkshakes and cookies.Kuya O had strawberry while I had Pi


One of my favorite food bloggers is raising funds for Japan here, we can donate a bit or so too.

Talkative as I am I chatted with the server and she has a familiar smile that prompted my to ask where she's from (I assumed she's not from Austria based on her looks). I was surprised when she said she is Austrian-Filipino with a wide grin.

It would be awesome if they would have other branches throughout the city. The lone yoyogurt is a bit far from our place so we cannot go as often as we'd like.

Freshii frozen Yogurt

I won't deny that I am or have become a health buff as of late. For one, I bake and grill than fry and  I incorporate more soup into our daily diet. I try to reduce the unhealthy fats by substituting olive and coconut oil for the usual vegetable oil when frying. It isn't much for me but I am turning over a healthy leaf for the hubby's sake. I don't get to see what he eats at the office so I have to make sure that he eats healty at home. Sometimes I would fix him a bento complete with fruits because the workaholic him would stay hours on his PC even when his stomach growls.

One of the health food that I crave for is yogurt. My kids regularly have their share of yogurt but I don't  - so once in a while we go out for some frozen yogurt. The kids actually would actually insert popsicle sticks on yogurt (still in containers) and put them in the freezer and have them as popsies but they enjoy it ala gelato too. Frozen Joghurt/Yogurt is a new in Vienna. (Yep, I've monickered this city as "late-trender" - trender pertaining to trend and not the one who free wool from its filth.) Freshii is the second foodjoint that we visited offering frozen yogurt. They have a wider selection of toppings and other food choices than at Yoyogurt...where the kids and I spent an afternoon snack of donuts, cookies and smoothies after they got well from the cold.

Above is yogurt topped with mango and banana. It was dawty's but after a spoonful, she gave it to me saying the yogurt tastes odd...surely, this is the super sour kind with the toppings not blending in. :( I am not sure of going back soon but hopefully, that was a first and last sour cup experience.

I also took home a bag of chips, garlic-rosemary if I'm not mistaken and this was good. Oh, while at the counter, there was something  familiar that I laid eyes on...those yummy black seeds that we munch on while watching TV at home! Butong Pakwan (watermelon seeds), I exclaimed to myself. Turns out they were actually pumpkin seeds with rosemary hehe. Well, I told the person at the counter that we have such back home and he said it would be a good idea for them to try.
