[CLOSED] Yolé (HDB Hub)

Finally joining in the hype, nothing special about In, just a typical yogurt shop. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Was supposed to be a Llaolao replacement, the topping and price is very similar. Taste of yoghurt was a like as well, that or the yoghurt's taste is masked by the toppings 4/5

The jury is still out on which tastes better — Yolé or llaollao — so we say leave the politics aside, try it and then decide. Yolé, which replaced llaollao outlets, sports many similarities, which we like to think is good news for llaollao fans who can't bear to say their goodbyes just yet. Some say it melts a tad faster and is slightly less creamy, but Burppler Eunice Foo declares the frozen yoghurt to taste exactly the same, so you might want to take her advice to try the limited edition strawberry flavour if you fancy something different. Prices start from $2.50 for their baby-sized froyo cup sans toppings, or go for the Ibiza (from $5.50 with one each of fruit, topping and sauce). Sauce and topping options run the gamut from milky candy and black chocolate sauce to caramelised cookies and chocolate muesli, so knock yourself out. We heard that a coconut soft serve ice cream is in the pipeline.
Avg price: $5

From the ever-shrinking queues that eventually withered to lone cashiers left to twiddle their thumbs for hours on end, it was clear that Llao llao had lost its novelty. The name change seems nothing more than just a poorly-disguised marketing tactic, a last resort of sorts to boost plummeting sales. Apart from the color scheme, nothing else has changed; neither the toppings (allegedly imported from Italy and Spain) nor the oversized spoon. And the froyo? In terms of taste and texture, it is exactly the same. At least the “limited promotion” strawberry flavor differed somewhat from the usual offerings and left a pleasant aftertaste.

Hopefully, Yolé will deliver on its promises and present a properly revamped concept in due time; one exciting enough to bring back the froyo-loving crowd!
