Yomamte Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Popsicle Review

Fro-yo girl here. My recent trip to Kukje for kim chee led to an exciting new find in the freezer section, Yomamte strawberry fro-yo popsicles. The Korean made popsicles come in an insulated pink bag. The bag ($5.49) contains 6 individually wrapped popsicles. I only saw one flavor (strawberry). One popsicle is 100 calories and 14 fl. oz. Ingredients: water, strawberry syrup, sugar, food starch, skim milk powder, yogurt powder, etc.






The popsicle has an elegant slender shape and a pale pink color with tiny strawberry pieces. It's very firm and icy yet had a pleasant milky flavor and is creamier than a fruit popsicle without dairy. I found it refreshing but a bit bland (not much strawberry flavor). It's not tangy but is sweet and has a real yogurt flavor (it's mild though).

The package shows a blonde girl in yoga looking clothing, to emphasize fitness and low calories, I presume. I didn't see anything about live and active cultures.

4 stars out of 5

New Flavored Mochi at Kukje

Fro-yo girl here. While Kukje Market appears to be out of or no longer carry Dae Doo Food Co. mochi balls, they now have flavored mochi balls! They’re tiny and come on a Styrofoam tray with plastic wrapping. The “mochiquitas” flavors are melon, coconut and strawberry ($3.49 per package). I believe they are manufactured by Wang but it doesn’t say so on the packaging. Look for them in the refrigerated section near the produce department (where the tofu is).

Mochi Update: Samjin Yogurt Mochi

Fro-yo girl here. I dropped by Kukje to look for mochi balls and I spotted another Korean brand (Dae Doo Food Co. is the most common brand used by fro-yo shops), Samjin. They call their mochi balls “yogurt mochi.” Kukje had the plain variety for $4.99 a package. The Samjin mochi bits aren’t as uniform in shape and size as the Dae Doo ones and they’re sweeter. If you want to try them before buying a bag, they have them at Tutti Frutti in Danville. I prefer the taste of Dae Doo's mochi.

P.S. Kukje didn't have the rainbow mochi balls.
