With the recent opening of few dessert houses, I could sense that gelato days are over and it seems like froyo (frozen yogurt) is the next 'in' thing in town.
The latest addition to this is Mochi Frozen Yogurt located on the ground floor of newly established Airport Mall (next to Times Square). It is very easy to spot as it is situated near to the main entrance.
I personally think that it has got really good brand packaging and this can be easily tell from the design of the logo. If you look carefully, the 'o' & 'c' actually resembles a bunny and by choosing green as the main color is a very wise choice as it gives a refreshing feel and very attention catchy! What's more with the contemporary interior design in the dessert house, it really can make every customers feel "over the moon"!
There are two sizes available which are solo and sumo and obviously enough, solo means regular size while sumo means large. I decided to go for the sumo size which came with 2 choices of toppings. As for the ice cream flavors, there are two types available which are original and blue berries and since the staff told me that I could have combination of both so I ended up with mixed flavor. For toppings, the staff recommended us to choose honeydew mochi and mini nata balls and so we took her advice. The price for sumo with 2 toppings is $5.
Verdict:
As the ice cream is made of yogurt so it's common that the ice cream tastes sour and in fact, Hubby and I prefer this as it didn't have the 'after taste' like usual ice cream. What we mean here is that most of the times after eating ice cream, the sweet taste of the ice cream would linger for quite some time and there is always high chance of us feeling thirsty right after eating ice cream. However, after finishing the Mochi Frozen Yogurt, we didn't experienced this and in fact, we had the urge to have second round. So I guess this is shows the difference between the usual ice cream that we always eat and froyo. However, the toppings weren't as good as we thought. The honeydew mochi's texture actually tasted like marshmallows more and the IQ balls was tasteless and hard. And I think the portion of the froyo was little than what I expected.
Currently, Mochi Frozen Yogurt is having soft opening promotion with 15% discount on all yogurt items until 31st December 2011. Do give it a try ;)
