The froyo craze in Singapore is officially back in full swing. Australian frozen yoghurt chain Yo-Chi broke the internet when it opened its first international outlet in Orchard Central, with waiting times stretching up to an hour over its opening weekend.
Come September, we'll have another froyo spot in town to hit up: Yoajung, South Korea's famous frozen yoghurt chain, will be debuting its first Singapore store at Scape on September 5. Yoajung currently has 350 outlets across Hong Kong, Shanghai, and most recently, Sydney. The brand is also endorsed by K-Pop celebrities like Jay Park, NMIXX and RIIZE.
The Singapore store is expected to offer three yoghurt bases: the signature yoghurt ice cream, low-sugar yoghurt ice cream and Greek yoghurt as a healthier option. If it's anything like the Korean menu, acai bowls might also be available. While there aren't any crazy yoghurt flavours like salted butterscotch or cookies and cream here, Yoajung's unique array of toppings is what makes it such a hit in Korea.
Think slabs of honeycomb, banana brulée, dalgona, cheesecake cubes, and even a Dubai chocolate-inspired topping. Other picks include popping candy, tanghulu and brown sugar mochi. And since it's a Korean brand, you can even expect popular Korean fruits like Shine Muscat grapes. Yoajung also does a special 'shell' topping, where the tip of the yoghurt is dipped into sauces like chocolate or strawberry. Spoilt for choice? There are several signature combinations on the menu that'll save you the hassle of choosing.
One thing to note is that while Yo-Chi is a fully self-serve experience where cups are charged by weight, Yoajung uses a more standard pricing model with fixed prices for toppings – similar to Llao Llao and Yolé in Singapore.
Yoajung Singapore's full menu, prices, and opening hours have yet to be announced, so watch this space for updates. In the meantime, check out Yoajung's Instagram page here.
Yoajung will be located at 2 Orchard Link, Scape, #02-09, Singapore 237978.
