Explained simply
Yo-Chi is an Australian frozen yoghurt chain, where customers choose yoghurt and add toppings. Its new outlet is at i12 Katong, a shopping centre in Singapore’s east, and the launch menu draws on local kopitiam traditions—food and drink commonly served at casual neighbourhood cafés.
Chin Mee Chin is a Singapore bakery known for traditional treats, including kaya, a sweet coconut-and-egg spread often eaten with toast. The collaboration pairs kaya with a Swiss roll and a freshly made choux puff; the opening’s daily limit on the puffs applies for three days.
The launch also introduces an iced latte yoghurt flavour, and the new items are intended to become available across Singapore after the opening period. Peranakan-inspired decor and artwork by local artist Nicia Lam connect the outlet’s design to local cultural influences.
