New Zealand Natural (Harbourfront Centre)

Was walking around the Harbourfront Centre where i stumbled onto this store. Located near the main escalator, this "New Zealand Natural" store was pretty easy to find. However, the area round the escalator was often filled with some fairs and this often obstruct the direct view of this store.

This store basically looks like any other ice cream store with tubs of different ice cream stored in a clear refrigerator. Customer will simply need to peek over the clear refrigerator to select the flavours of the ice cream. "New Zealand Natural" sells quite a variety of stuffs. Beside ice cream, it also sells sorbets, yoghurts, flos, smoothies, chillers, juices and shakes.

Out of all these items, i liked their fruit flo the best. The fruit flo is perhaps the most unique item in "New Zealand Natural". Till now, i still have not seen other ice cream shop selling this item. The fruit flo is basically frozen yoghurt mixed with different types of fresh fruits. There are a variety of fruits where one can choose from. This includes raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, mango, etc. A pretty good range of fruits for selection, i can say.

The texture of the fruit flo is pretty thick and tasted pretty similar to ice cream. However, it is a much healthier choice as compared to ice cream, with its 97% fat free composition. I liked the taste of the fruit flo, which is milkly yet not extremely sweet. Perhaps, this is the result of the good quality ingredients and fresh dairy cream that they used in their yoghurt.

Their service was pretty good too. When we approached the store, the staff actually stopped her work immediately and come over to serve us. Although we took some time to decide on the flavours, she willingly explain the different types and even gave some sample to try out. This, i think is a pretty form of customer service.

They are having quite a fair bit of promotiion during this year end. One of the promotion would be getting one pint size ice cream free with every one quart of ice cream. At the same time, if you are a student, you will be to get a 4th ice cream with their privilege card. I do think that such promotions are pretty good as one will not only be able to taste the good quality ice cream but at the same time, be rewarded as well. :)
