Ahhh….you might be thinking that what’s up with me, buying such expensive yogurt? Well, I got some extra dough a few days from helping others with their PC problems. In gratitude for my great service, they gave me some money. So, hey why not? It is time that I spend some money on great tasting food, especially my favourite – Yogurt! As usual, I would highly recommend everyone yogurt as their daily snack or dessert. It tastes great and some of them are actually good for you. You know, the good bacteria and the nutrients and vitamins in the yogurt. And if you can afford it, try the Dairy Farmers brand, especially if you like your yogurt thick and creamy and not watery or runny. Not all the flavours are available at our local supermarkets though but you can try Cold Storage at the town areas where they usually do carry more variety. In fact if you are looking for different varieties of yogurt than the “normal” brands, you should go and take a browse at Cold Storage. They even have some weird Japanese yogurt brands which most Singaporeans like me never heard of.

There you have it – Dairy Farmers Light Vine Passionfruits. Why is it called Vine Passionfruits? It is different from the regular passionfruits? I thought that all Passionfruit trees are actually vines?

Hmmm….the light version comes with 60% less sugar and is 99% fat free. That would certainly explain why I felt some tartness in the yogurt. Not too worry, it isn’t too tart in my opinion. And the passionfruit pieces and seeds are very delicious. They certainly add to the texture of the yogurt. Anyway, I find that most yogurts we find in the stores these days are just too sweet.

Damn, they want us to peel the label of the container and recycle both plastic and paper – but I am no tree hugger! Lol, just joking. If you are into this, please do it. Help save our environment.

Check it out – made with Dairy Farmers Award Winning Milk! However, I can’t find the award winning milk anywhere in Singapore. Too bad. This yogurt is low in fat (only 0.8%) and comes with 3 live cultures. As mentioned, it has 60% less sugar and contains no artificial colours or flavours. Furthermore, it is calcium rich. Oh, before I forget, this is made in Australia! Ya!

Here we have the ingredients list – Skim milk, milk, concentrated skim milk, fruit (passionfruit, orange)(6%), polydextrose, fructose, halal gelatine, thickener, vegetable gum, flavours, lactase, lemon juice concentrate, food acid, sweeteners, natural colour and live cultures like l.acidophilus, bifidobacterium and s.thermophilus. Cool! I guess most commerical makers of yogurt do have to add “stuff” into their yogurt in order to thicken it. Home made yogurt usually comes out runny, which can be a turn-off for most. That is what you get if you want “Thick & Creamy”.

And my beef is still the use of skim milk. Yes, I know that this is the light version, but still the milkfat in the milk is a very important part of the milk. Why rip them away just for marketing purposes?

Ahhh….the nutrition information. The net weight of this yogurt is 170g. Too little for any real taste test, especially for a yogurt lover like me. We need more!

Here we have the aluminum foil cover. If you peel of this cover, you will find yogurt and little tiny passionfruit pieces and seeds. Take a bite and you will discover a new world you never felt before. It is like heaven. Don’t worry about the initial slight sourness, soon you will that all those overtly super sweet yogurt you have been consuming all these years are just crap compared to this!
