Yogur Berry’s frozen yogurt ice-cream
YogurBerry is very popular in Korea and has franchise branches in other countries. Branches in u.s are also popular with self serving on non-fat yogurt and fruits. However, people are amazed of why this popular frozen yogurt ice cream isn’t popular at all when opening branches in Malaysia. The worst is that you can hardly see any customers. I suppose this also reflects on how Malaysians are being not so health conscious and they still prefer rich and creamy taste..

Taste is different in the other side of the world
As you all know mangosteen or manggis in Malay are commonly available in market for rm3-5 per kg. In this side of the world, we only eat the white flesh and throw the rest away. However in U.S., mangosteen isn’t available in supermarket and most people have never seen the fruit before. They only know of mangosteen juice which is high in antioxidant and is commonly sold to patients who need to boost their immune system. Each 25oz bottle of juice is selling for as high as US$35. The juice contains extract from red purplish rind which we normally throw away after eating the white flesh.
Well, enjoy your fresh picked mangosteen without paying a fortune.
