Yummy Soy™ is a popular Soy Milk and Beancurd brand from Singapore. It opened its first local outlet in Robinsons Place Manila last March and a stand-alone store at the Fort Strip beside K-PUB BBQ last June.
It offers a refreshing treat and healthier dessert/snack alternative to milk tea and yogurt selections.
There’s definitely a demand for healthier products, but I’m not sure if its “silky smooth, melts-in-your-mouth chilled beancurd” is enough to create another Soy craze here.

- YUMMY SOY: The Singapore Soy Milk Brand Craze in Manila?
The Yummy Soy’s Fort Strip store location is a bit odd, located in between two big restaurants —Â Modern Sichuan and K-PUB BBQ.
It’s a few minutes’ walk from Fitness First, Fort Strip.
Here, you can order hot or cold soy milk.Â
The pricing is a bit high though, possibly trying to match the price range of milk tea and fro-yos.
Original Cold Soymilk (P65 – Regular).
It’s best to stick to the original flavor or almond at 100% sugar level if you want to enjoy it.
Chocolate Cold Soymilk (P75).
The chocolate flavor was good.
We did not like the fruit-based flavors because they tasted a bit artificial.
We liked the Chilled Beancurd (a.k.a. our local taho).
You can usually buy taho with sago from street vendors for P20/large cup. In contrast, the  original chilled beancurd with pearls from Yummy Soy™ costs P85/large cup.
★ Strawberry Chilled Bean Curd with Pearls (P95).
We actually liked the Chilled Bean Curd. It was indeed of higher quality and lived up to how it was advertised — “silky smooth” and “melts in your mouth”.
The pearls were big, chewy black balls, similar to those found in milk teas. The strawberry flavor was infused in the bean curd.
I don’t quite understand the Slurppy version, described as “beancurd on the go”. It’s just a different type of drink. Raphael did not like the strawberry flavor and demanded a replacement.
If you do decide to try Yummy Soy, order the Original flavor Chilled Bean Curd with Pearls for an elevated taho experience. I like its advocacy of providing high quality healthier drinks and snacks in Manila.
Their Fort Strip location is just a bit out of the way. You have to pay for parking, not unless you are already in the Fort Strip vicinity.
I don’t think it would create a craze yet, but it would certainly cater to the growing health-conscious market of Manila. What do you think?
