heavenly blush : "Sour Sally Perjuangan"
As a huge fan of Sour Sally (SS), I've been longing to see the day when they open an outlet in PIM (be it PIM 1 or 2, couldn't care less). Hence I was so disappointed when I read in the leaflet that they're planning to open outlets in Pacific Place, fx, MTA... With no PIM in the pic T_T
A couple of days ago, I noticed heavenly blush (HB)'s banners in front of PIM2, with pic of what looked like a sundae.. But then I saw the words "guiltlessly satisfied". And I immediately thought to myself, could this be an SSP opening soon @ PIM2..?
And then Lydia confirmed that it was in fact true. HB did sell fro-yo with toppings, just like SS. After I got her FB message, I went straight to PIM with Bayu to give it a try v(^^
HB is located at Restaurant Row (3rd floor), you can easily spot the playful design, dominated with fuchsia and lime green. A bit SS-ish, to be honest ^^;; the bar was just like SS where you can see a selection of toppings to choose from. The yoghurt selection however, was a bit different. If at SS they only have plain, green tea, and a twist of both; HB have 6 choices : plain original (less sour), plain zero (more sour), pomegrenade, green apple, ori + pome, and zero + gr. apple. The topping scheme is exactly the same as SS : small = 1 topping, medium = 2 toppings, large = 3 toppings. Price wise, it's a bit more expensive than SS. If at SS a medium plain would cost you 29.5K, at HB it would cost you 33K instead. I don't remember SS's full price list, but for HB's you can check out the pic, hopefully you'll be able to make out the numbers.
As today was my first time trying HB, I decided to go with small plain original, (although I was actually more intrigued with the supposedly more sour plain zero), with of course, longan for the topping ;p the first thing I noticed was that they were very stingy with the topping. They like only gave me 3 (yes, three!) longans! I don't exactly remember how many longans I got when ordering a small cup at SS, but it's definitely more than three! (Lydia, maybe your mom can pass on this comment to her friend :p). However, the yoghurt serving was more generous, not hollow in the middle.. alias nda bolong bagian tengahnya kayak di SS hehe ^^;;
As for the taste, I think the original is still too sweet for me. It had that sour taste, but not sour enough. Also, it was a bit cremier than SS (but only a bit, don't imagine creamy and milky like J Cool - J Co's fro-yo). However, I gave their plain zero + gr. apple a try (they were handing out samples in front of the outlet), and I liked the texture and the sour taste. Wasn't too fond of the green apple flavor though, so I guess next time I'd have to go with plain zero :) But anw,I think it's good for them to have both original and zero, so people can choose based on their preference, whether they like their fro-yo less sour or more sour. I have to comment a bit about the topping though, the longans tasted a bit weird; dry and not fresh. I think I've bought canned longans at supermarkets that taste better, and my guess is that both SS and HB use canned longans, but from different brands. So maybe, just maybe, they can go to SS,try out their longan topping, and search for something that tastes exactly like that ^-^
All and all.. I think heavenly blush is good news to all fro-yo lovers residing near PIM (like me and Lydia, right darl?), and a good treat to all who wants to taste a guiltless dessert with a little less sour taste ( don't forget, if you fall into this category.. always go for plain original!)
Long live heavenly blush: "Sour Sally Perjuangan" \(^^)/

HB letaknya di PIM2. Kalo saya lihat HB punya konsep yang lebih baik daripada SS.
Kita bisa lihat dari qualitas dan jenis yogurt-nya. Ada 4 rasa : Original, Pomegranate, Zero (Sugar Free) dan Green Apple.
Saya sudah cobain semuanya dan saya suka sekali yang Zero karena lebih asam dan benar-benar sehat karena Sugar Free.
Pelayanannya juga lebih ramah dan kalo saya minta lebih-in topping-nya maka karyawan HB mau kasih. Hal ini beda sama SS, mereka bilang sudah standard dari kantor pusat :p
Semoga siasat ini berguna buat Dessey... hahahahah
Disamping itu, mereka juga punya special topping yang kualitasnya jauh daripada yang dimiliki SS yaitu seperti Forest Berry, Cran Berry, dll... hemm Yummy... walau memang harus bayar lebih... huahuauhaua
Selamat Mencoba dan Hidup HB!
Glad to see your post here about Heavenly Blush :)
Thanks for the great feedbacks.
Yes, from the feedbacks that we get, we know there are lots of rooms for improvements.
As for the toppings (and the longan too :) ), I apologize if it seems like we're stingy, although that wasn't the intention. We tried to come up with a standard way of serving the toppings and apparently we overlooked the fact that for some of the toppings we had indeed served too little.
We are also continuing our sourcing for the toppings so that we can improve their quality.
Hopefully by the time you visit us again, you can already see and taste the difference.. :)
Again, thanks for the great feedback and support.
PS: In case you're wondering, I'm one of the owners of HB.
Gud Job ! and Go HB !
