Yoguru, Yo guru or maybe just a fun wordplay between yogurt and guru. Analyze and break the word however you want, the fact is, I've found a new addiction and thankfully, it is a rather healthy one (taken in moderation of course).

Another Look
(**A little note on the pictures above, as this blogger is not used to being questioned when taking photographs, the rare event that the owner actually required explaination of my actions kinda took me aback and thus, resulted in less quality photos due to nervousness. In future, if you see a guy taking photos and ordering food from your outlet, please, leave him be for better photographic results. )
Located in the revamped and renovated Kallang Leisure park, Yoguru is a spot of purplish red in a predominantly white mall. Scrounging some information from the net yielded that this little gem has been operating for a year or more by now and has garnered a strong following of dessert lovers.
Positioned as a "true yogurt" experience. Yoguru's main selling points are its fresh ingredients and yogurt made fresh on site in their outlet. It is said that this is the only way, the probiotic cultures may survive to actually provide the health benefits yogurt is supposed to impart. Equally intrigueing is the fact that yogurt is non fat and contains calcium and minerals which are of benefit to the body. Sounds a little too good to be true isn't it?
The good news is, the yogurt is definitely smoother and better then anything i've tasted. I chose the original flavored yogurt with 2 toppings, mango and strawberry. The fruit toppings are indeed fresh and comes with all natural flavor, which means they were either sour or sweet depending on your luck. The yogurt itself is the star.
On first glance, it reminds me of vanilla ice cream but it doesn't melt as quickly so it can be enjoyed slowly. Taste wise, its slightly sour with a firm texture when compared to other yogurts and ice cream. Its also refreshingly light and appetising even to the last scoop. Even for someone who has had a rather filling lunch, having this will not make you feel overloaded, which is rather surprising for me.
Overall score: 8/10
Last word:
For the record, i don't like yogurt. Never liked the sourish taste and jelly like texture which i always get from supermarket and restaurant yogurts. This, however, has me convinced and converted. I like it because its low fat, healthy and most of all, because its light and tasty. Which is exactly what desserts should be. For the uninitiated, please do drop by for at least a try. If this outlet is too far out of the way, there's a new outlet opening in Raffles City Mall for more yogurt goodness. Lets just hope franchising doesn't kill the quality like so many other franchises.
