I know what you’re thinking: who needs another fro-yo chain in the UAE? My thoughts exactly when I walked past the new Yogurtland in The Dubai mall.
Until, that is, I saw the range of flavours: mango, pistachio, macadamia and white chocolate – and then there were the toppings which varied from a delicious, colourful array of fresh fruit to tapioca pearls and crushed biscuits.
The best part about it all is that you can serve yourself – a rare treat in the UAE! Your fro-yo concoction is then weighed at the cashier counter, where you also get an eco-friendly spoon and any sauces added to your mix.
To try some for free, visit Yogurtland on Wednesday, March 19, between 1 to 2pm, followed by face painting and balloon artistry, as well as nail art by Wow Beauty Salon.
