A Dose of Sweetness

BerryLine is top of the pile, along with J.P.Licks , ( any guesses for the next one?) Ben and Jerry's for any student's weekly (or daily? ) dose of sweetness. Personally, I am not a big fan of frozen yogurt. I have yet to try Yog or Snog that sprinkled around London. The name BerryLine does make sense. Indeed, there was a line out the small brightly lit corner shop even at 10pm.

The combination is simple. Size, Flavours( Original, Nutella, Strawberry), Toppings. In 3 steps, you end up with a cup of goodness in your hands.It was 10pm at night, so I opted for a small ($2.75) Original instead of Nutella. Next comes the toppings. I identified it as sinful or healthy goodness. With additional of $ 1, you can have toppings of fruits ,from small cubes of kiwi to slices of banana(the healthy goodness) or toppings of oreo to kit kat (sinful).


It was a dilemma to me. Having sorted out to go for small Original, I thought I could further resist on the calorie loaded toppings of sinful goodness. Alas, my lips uttered "mochi and cookie crunch!" (with a bit too much of enthusiasm) before I could stop myself. Yes, mochi, the chewy Japanese sweet.





The Original frozen yogurt was certainly not vanilla. The texture was smooth and not too melty.It does not feel like ice cream as well. There is a taste of subtle sourness and tangy feeling to it. A crunch of cookie bits and a bite of soft mochi, combined with the rich and creamy frozen yogurt was just heavenly.







Original with freshly cut kiwi and plump blueberries.Summer in a cup! This is what I should have go for. Ah well!

Grated strips of coconut, a sprinkle of nuts and a generous amount of blueberries for toppings.

Lining up for my BerryLine, I already made up my mind what to have the next time. Nutella! (and hopefully, the healthy goodness toppings instead)
