Strained pull yogurt
Dry swallowing yogurt
Milk skin yogurt
Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been seeing more Chinese restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley offering handmade yogurt on their menus. Recently, a new Chinese yogurt shop opened in Alhambra, CA.
Lingyun Milk Fun makes a variety of types of yogurt (stretchy, milk-infused, strained, dry), fruit yogurt smoothies, yogurt purple rice drinks, fruit stuffed with yogurt, yogurt bricks, yogurt bowls, etc. I haven’t seen another yogurt shop that offers that many types of yogurt.Naipizi yogurt (milk-infused yogurt, $3.99): milk skin yogurt features a rich layer on top like cream and a creamy, velvety, lightly sweetened yogurt underneath. It’s a pleasant sweet treat. This was my favorite item. It’s like a milk custard.
Dry swallowing yogurt ($6.99, called plain dry yogurt on the menu): crazy thick due to straining. It was almost too dry. I’m sure it’s sweetened. The taste was almost cheesy. It wasn’t sour but had a little tang. I would spread this on toast and top it with fruit and nuts.
Strained pull yogurt ($4.50): bottled and not as thick as the dry yogurt, it’s like the yogurt you’d expect in a drink. It’s thick, sticky, and lightly sweetened. I think strained pull yogurt is like sticky or stretchy yogurt.
The plain yogurt is lightly sweetened. It also has live and active cultures. Of the forms that I tried, the Naipizi milk skin yogurt was my favorite.
The shop is sparse with no seating, so it’s set up for takeout.
