What makes a great cup of frozen yogurt? More affectionately known as ‘froyo’, the yogurt itself has to be just the right amount of tart and sweet, and secondly, the toppings has to be interesting, creative and even unexpected, too.

Of course, we are not shaming the basic froyo cup with fresh fruits and/or chocolate sauce, but we have to admit that unique toppings do stand out.

The froyo trend started off as the talk of the town but has seemed to fade off in the recent months. Still, that does not mean that froyo has lost its place in our hearts, as we still witness many like-minded froyo-loving individuals queueing up for this amazing treat.

Singapore has no lack of froyo options, and there has always been a debate on which one is the best. While we have our absolute favourite, we have picked out some of the better ones you can find in Singapore, to bring you this list of Best Frozen Yogurts in Singapore.

#1 FROZEN BY A THOUSAND BLESSINGS

Frozen By A Thousand Blessings at Toa Payoh is the first organic froyo establishment from Melbourne with a self-service ordering system. At S$3.80 per 100g, indulge in popular Froyo flavours such as Pomegranate, Passionfruit and Mango Soy, made with organic milk and fresh fruit puree. With more than 30 visually pleasing homemade toppings to choose from, some favourites include the Red Velvet Cubes, Lemon Curd Tarts and Red Bean Mochi.

#2 GLACIER YOGURT

Not only are the Froyos at Glacier Yogurt packed with wholesome flavours, they also encompass health benefits in them – made using alkaline water with body-nourishing minerals – fulfilling both elements of tasty and healthy at the same time. At S$6.90, the Froyo Parfait came in unconventional flavours; think Matcha and Red Velvet Cake, leaving a distinctly sweet aftertaste with every spoonful.

#3 LLAOLLAO

Crowned as the best froyo in Singapore and we are not even gonna disagree, Llaollao is often the benchmark for what a good froyo should be like. The secret lies in its silky soft Sanum (S$6.50) that can be paired with the most bizarre toppings and sauces – and can still taste completely amazing. There are really no other words to describe this wondrous creation. If you have not tried Llaollao yet, you are seriously missing out on something great.

From now till 31 October 2015, flash this post at Llaollao’s Suntec City outlet and get 50% off the second item purchased (at same value or lower). Imagine buying one Sanum and getting the second Sanum at half the price!

#4 MILK & HONEY

Milk & Honey’s Froyo Parfaits are undoubtedly the most attractive ones we have ever come across. Each cup is served with a handcrafted topping for an extra oomph, and patrons can choose from their well-thought-out concoctions or have fun with a little DIY.

One of their signature Honey Velvet Parfait (S$6.80) is topped with a Red Velvet Macaron, Honey sauce, a piece of Chocolate, with cornflakes and foamy Red Velvet Cake chunks sandwiched between – adding a good depth of flavour to the froyo.

#5 RED MANGO

Red Mango is strategically located in various locations in (or in the vicinity of) the Central Business District. This affordable cup of frozen yogurt sure pleased us with its pleasant taste and simple but comforting toppings that include fruity pebbles and fresh cut kiwis.

#6 SOGURT

As a self-service froyo establishment, we have to admit that it is a great idea to have customers construct their own froyo. Expect not one, not two but multiple froyo flavours.

All you have to do is to pick a cup size of choice, dispense the froyo (you can even mix all of them together!), then pile on the toppings. From cookie crumble to fruits and various sauces, have fun making your own cup of froyo. Charges are based on the weight of your creation.

#7 THE COLD PANTRY

Here at The Cold Pantry, their froyos are a great perk-me-up. One of their crowd favourites, Berry-Licious (S$6), is served with Honeycomb Crumbles, Blueberries and Strawberries – simple but enough to captivate our hearts. The tartness of the fruits gave a welcoming balance to the slightly sweet froyo which made it less cloying.

#8 TWENTY GRAMMES

Twenty Grammes is a cosy cafe in the Arab Street area with great ice cream and waffle offerings. But what most do not know is that they have a delicious TG Yogurt Parfait (S$6.90), that comes in a huge cup with four free toppings included.

While the yogurt itself was nothing to shout about, we especially liked their toppings that range from caramelised cookie sauce to gula melaka granola.

#9 YOGART

Yogart is a home-grown artisan froyo brand that has been compared to Llaollao with their uncanny resemblance. The cafe offers yogurt popsicles, as well as waffles to go with their froyo – an unconventional but genius pairing. Be sure to try out their signature Sea-Salt Caramel sauce which adds a nice savoury touch to the froyo that left us licking our spoons clean.

#10 YOGURU

Yoguru among the first few frozen yogurt brands who pioneered the froyo trend in Singapore, and we love how we can always just have their yogurt on its own, even without any toppings. But look closer to their toppings display and your eyes will be drawn to their colourful toppings, such as white and dark chocolate Pepperos! Yes, please!

#11 YAMI YOGURT

Yami Yogurt is one of the more inexpensive froyos out there, with a standard small cup going for less than S$3. However, with their insanely wide amount of toppings, of course we could eat this every day without getting bored of it!

The cut fruits here are most popular among patrons, but we love some pretty jelly beans for our frozen yogurt. Yami Yogurt is yummy and is one of our go-to places in Singapore for our froyo fix.

Essentially a dessert cafe and ice cream parlour, Twenty Grammes has been constant in serving up quality ice cream, great waffles and unique flavours. Located along North Bridge Road, where an influx of new cafes have seen their way to the neighbourhood, Twenty Grammes has since upped the ante and new creations have been added to the menu to introduce more excitement for patrons.

Walking into this inviting and brightly-coloured cafe with perfect natural light streaming in, you will feel an immediate sense of comfort while being hit with the rich aroma of freshly prepared waffles.

It is also interesting to see how Twenty Grammes has curated some of Singapore’s recent dessert trends and attempted their own renditions. Here are some of the things that we love at Twenty Grammes; think savoury waffle with sea salt caramel ice cream, charcoal waffle with homemade salted egg yolk sauce, yogurt parfaits and more.

From now till 31 October 2015, flash this post at Twenty Grammes (Blk 529 Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 or 753 North Bridge Road) and get 50% OFF the second waffle purchased (of same value or lower) from Mondays to Fridays only.

UNIQUE FLAVOURED LATTES

You might have noticed a stream of “flavoured” lattes on your social media timelines. Although you might pass it off as a marketing scam, the subtle and refreshing flavours offered by Twenty Grammes impressed us. Both the Blackberry and Macadamia were interesting alternatives for our caffeine crave.

The former is a subtle fruity punch to the rich coffee, while the latter is an aromatic and nutty delight. Twenty Grammes also offer other flavoured lattes, such as Caramel, Hazelnut and Vanilla at S$5.50 each.

WHOLESOME SALADS

For a light but satisfying meal, indulge in one of their five salad choices. The King Smoked Duck Salad (S$9.50) came with smoked duck slices that were extremely flavourful and tender, much to our glee. The salad of green and red lettuce was tossed with tomatoes and walnuts for an added crunch.

The House Special Salad (S$11.90) includes a generous amount of smoked salmon atop green and cold sesame pasta, and is too finished with some tomatoes and walnuts.

HEARTY CHICKEN PIE

The 753 Pie (S$11.50) is a chicken and mushroom pie that is served with a side of truffle chips and garden salad. We totally loved the aroma of truffle, and it perfumed the chips evenly that we couldn’t stop eating. Of course, sitting inside the flaky crust of the pie are big and tender chunks of chicken.

DOUBLE T WAFFLE – WAFFLE STUFFED WITH TURKEY HAM

We were apprehensive initially, knowing that the turkey ham was weaved into the waffle batter and it would be a savoury instead of the usual familiar dessert waffle. But this dish took all of us by surprise – a pleasant one, of course. It changed our perception of savoury waffle altogether. With the use of truffle oil, the waffle’s enchanting aroma wafted into our hearts. The waffle itself was extremely crisp and because turkey ham was added inside, the batter tasted more flavourful.

We love the perfect marriage of sweet and salty in their sea salt caramel ice cream, which was dolloped on top of this mouth-watering savoury waffle.

SOFT-SERVE FROYO WAFFLES

By aesthetics sense, this would be the best-looking waffle. Perched on top of their fluffy waffles is a generous portion of their signature soft-serve frozen yogurt. With plenty of fruits sitting around this waffle (S$12.50), this is the choice for those who choose to skip the richness of ice cream and want to stick to something healthier.

CHARCOAL WAFFLE WITH HOMEMADE SALTED EGG SAUCE

Before you have your doubts about this dish, the Charcoal Waffle (S$8.50) at Twenty Grammes was definitely on point. The crisp outer layer, coupled with the addition of an ultra-rich salted egg yolk sauce, is such a divine combination.

The sauce is served in a huge and generous pot and we could not have been more delighted and satisfied. It is an additional S$3.50 for one scoop of ice cream on top and S$6.50 for two. You can pick from their wide range of ice cream flavours, but we recommend the Triple C which is made of chocolate, caramel and chocolate chunks.

ROSE LYCHEE CAKE

We found a slice of heaven with Twenty Grammes’ Rose Lychee Cake. It is both light and extremely packed with refreshing lychee and rose flavours. The cake itself remains moist despite it being not overly dense, and the taste is light on the palate.

ICE MELBOURNE COFFEE

Twenty Grammes’ Iced Melbourne Coffee (S$7.90) is a genius idea and a great way to enhance a typical iced latte. This cup of iced latte is topped with a scoop of their popular sea salt caramel ice cream for a more concentrated flavour. Honestly, sea salt caramel ice cream in coffee is simply brilliant. How come no one thought of it?!

TG YOGURT PARFAIT

You can pick either TG Froyo (S$4.50, one topping) or TG Yogurt Parfait (S$6.90, four toppings). And yes, it is going to sound familiar. Pick from an extensive range of ingredients such as tortilla chips, honey mustard soy crisps, granola, peaches, blueberries and more. Then, complete with a drizzle of any one of their sauces (that is considered one topping’s worth). On a lighter note, the toppings option is mind-boggling; you have been warned.

The range of sauces include chocolate hazelnut sauce and caramelised cookies sauce. The latter is already a popular favourite here. You can also choose from a more premium range of toppings (S$1.90 each). Some of these premium toppings are coconut gula melaka granola and manuka honey cashew nuts. The froyo itself is light, and a great way to combat the heat.

Twenty Grammes is currently in the midst of renovating its second outlet and it will be opening in Ang Mo Kio by next month – another cafe in the North of Singapore you can look forward to!

This post is brought to you by Twenty Grammes.

If you are among those who never understand the appeal of forking out a couple of dollars for a cup of frozen yogurt (FroYo or Frogurt) — hey we belong to the same kind, I totally understand how you feel — I was once the same, until recently.

I know that there are people who have been puzzled by my recent tweets about living a healthier lifestyle, and eating yogurt daily. Addiction is an understatement when I have been testing out all the Meiji yogurt, F & N Alive yogurt and Marigold Yogurt. If you must know the reason, everything started with this question two weeks ago:

“Why don’t you eat Yogurt? It helps in digestion and it’s good for your skin complexion too!”

I am not sure how true this claim is, but I decided there’s no harm giving it a shot. In recent months, we have seen many new Yogurt places in Singapore, and this can only be good news for all the Fro-Yo fans.

Till date, I have only tried BerryLite once, and sadly that was it. What? You mean you have never tried Red Mango, or Yami Yogurt or Yoguru or.. or even Frolick?!? I know, I know.

Now, I need to make up for lost time and look for the best yogurt in Singapore. I have come up with a list of all the yogurt places in Singapore — please tell me which yogurt shop is your favorite, and why I MUST have it.

If you asked me a couple of months ago will I ever choose yogurt over ice cream – the answer is definitely no. But hey, people do change, so I reckon I’d look here for new yogurt places rather than my list of Ice Cream Places in Singapore.
