Mokongbugoy, the greek style yogurt is full fat. I haven’t seen it in low or non-fat versions. It is creamy and smooth and delicious and tart in its regular form… I wonder if they manufacture it in a non-fat version…

Hello, Marketman! What a great site! I just recently stumbled onto your blogspot, and i must say, you’ve turned me into an instant fan! Thank you so much for making food (and travel, and people-stories, and trips to the market, supermarket, etc., etc.) PERSONAL again. It’s great that you’re keeping this all up for reasons other than financial gain, which is so refreshing in this country where so many of us just do what we do for the “raket” (I know it sounds a little jaded, and I’m not trying to judge anyone – especially with the economy we have! – but that’s the reality we live in, and it does get to me at times). Being the mom of kids who are allergic to almost everything, reading about food (recipes included) has become a weird kind of pastime for me (if I can’t cook ’em, I “read” ’em). Anyway, I’ve finally mustered the resolve (and the courage!) to try out alternatives, so my kids don’t grow up forever scarred by the constant deprivation and blaming their parents for their defective genes.:) And I’m hoping my husband & I will have the willpower to try a cardiologist-formulated mostly-meat-free diet that will (hopefully) keep us up & running for as long as our kids need us (and so my point is…?). My point is that given all this, I will therefore probably be a regular “inquirer” on “where can i find…???”. So be forewarned, and prepare to be challenged!!!:) But here’s an easy question to start off: the yogurt – does it come in nonfat too? :)

The 2 kilogram tub was PHP599. I take back my pricey comment, its not bad at all considering that if you buy yogurt in smaller servings, you would end up paying far more, and it won’t be as good as this one… :)

If you want to make your yogurt sweeter without adding sugar or sweeteners, try eating a ripe miracle fruit. Coat your whole tongue with the pulp of the fruit and anything sour you consume will turn sweet for at least 30 minutes. I tried it with lemons, strawberries and kiwi fruits and it was quite a kick.

we went to Sagada after Holy week and there found the famous restaurant called Yogurt House. The food they serve is a bit spicy on the Indian side cuisine and we had yogurt for our dessert. Yogurt with slices of bananas, granola and strawberry jam. The way they cook their strawberry jam is not so sweet that you can still taste the original flavor of fresh strawberry. Good food and the price is very reasonable.

Hello marketman! I’m new and read about you in YUMMY magazine. I enjoyed reading your blogs and I can’t wait to get to the nearest S&R to try the yogurt. I’m a big fan of guava jelly which I pair with cheese on top of sunflower crackers…..hopefully you can share your recipe for homemade guava jelly and let us know where to get guavas!

What a great AHA moment you found, Marketman! Makes you feel so good to have discovered scratch combinations so yummy and yet so nutritious as well, isn’t it? Now, if only i could find a similar guava jelly-like sweetener for my greek yogurt…

Spring greetings!

i thought that was liquefied nata de coco (if there ever is such a thing)on the yogurt before i started reading. but fruit + yogurt + granola does sound fantastic! that’s something to remember on my next trip to the grocery. thanks! hey, i reckon you must be losing weight already on that meatless diet of yours….

My favorite yogurt!!! :) For me, it is the best you can get around here (I don’t take flavored yogurt as I like to add the stuff myself, so I can’t speak for the flavored brands). And I don’t think it’s pricey at all considering the bucket is 2 kilos! You cannot imagine how many happy, yogurt-eating moments I have had since you found it in S&R!

Ok, now for the strange coincidence. I recently also discovered the magnificent pairing of yogurt and guava jelly…and I am actually having some right now as I read this post!

People! It’s really good! The type that makes you go “mmm-mmm!” when you eat :)

Good company perks up the appetite. Thanks for sharing this fabulous match of yogurt and guava jelly. It will not occur at the back of my head that they would work well and the addition of granola and pear great medley and dieterâ€™s delight! You hit the jackpot!
