Food: Soygurt

okay, here comes my first food review. But oh boy, i really wanted my first review to be a pleasant one. unfortunately, the product i chose disappointed me. oh well.

i was doing my grocery shopping in cold storage when i came across this new yogurt on the shelf. It's called Soygurt. This is an alternative to normal yogurts because this is made of soy milk. while in the USA this is pretty common, i haven't seen this before until i went to Cold Storage a few days back, so i bought it.

i bought the vanilla flavoured one, cos i decided i shall try something plain to taste the yogurt itself. i thought vanilla would add a nice sweet taste to the usual sourish plain yogurt. so there. There are other flavours there like peach, mango and strawberry. They do have a plain, soy yogurt one too.

Anyway, i opened it just yesterday night to have it. the texture is very obviously different, as soygurt has this jellyish look compared to the more curdled look for conventional yogurts. then when i put it in my mouth, i just wanted to spit it out. it had a very distinct soy taste (since it's made of soy milk), but the sour taste that came from this yogurt tasted nothing close to normal yogurts - it tasted as if the soygurt is spoilt. urgh. i checked the expiry date immediately, but nope. it's still a month away to it's expiry date. i threw the whole cup away after 2 mouths.

Hence, this soygurt really doesn't suit my tastebuds. it's made of organic beans btw, so health conscious people can try this. but i really didn't like this. and hence it doesn't justify it's 3.70 price tags.

Soygurt is sold in Cold Storage at $3.70
