I found the way to
replicated the superb yogurt from Beijing
yup.. that one which was served in glass bottle
I got cheated at Wang Fu Jing Food Street
they displayed loads of glass bottle
so I went and
they gave me the one in plastic bottle
saying that glass bottle is not for you
it breaks easily
and I was charged RMB 5 each
I later found the same thing
yogurt in plastic bottle at
7 Eleven for RMB 2.50
well..
the old-school type is available at
corner stores with
the friendly storekeepers of
the neighbourhood
it’s RMB 4.50 if you are taking it away
RM 3.00 if you drink on the spot
RM 1.50 being the deposit of the glass bottle
so here you are
yet it is more about the fanciful design
no.. fanciful is a wrong word
its traditional design
the taste is just somehow
standing above other yogurt / yogurt drinks
I have tried else where
it’s in between yogurt and yogurt drinks
creamy texture yet
drinkable with a straw
a little sweet, but not too much
a little sour, and a little taste of fragrance
you may doubt that
the taste is artificial
I know I know
all the notorious cases of Chinese food
yet given the all-so-traditional bottle
it is difficult to think that
this is actually artificially flavoured
so I would call it a yogurt smoothie
and outside the store
you may see stacks of bottles
being arranged orderly
waiting to be recycled
so it’s not difficult to
track stores which carry
the glass-bottle yogurt
well.. if I would have realized this
I wouldn’t get cheated
it’s okay.. being an experience
oh my
I spent 300 words
talking about yogurt drink in Beijing
and not even touching on the
product of Stephelle’s Kitchen yet
alright
so actually
it’s that easy
mix yogurt drink with plain yogurt
the proportion is to your liking
and ladies and gentlemen
a Beijing yogurt smoothie is
ready to be served
my yogurt drink is the
least sweet of all available in the market
so is my plain yogurt
for people who do not understand
the world of plain yogurt and
original flavour yogurt drink
I can assure you that
this is just heavenly
