Momentum is mounting for Malaysia's Milkshake Revolution, with a brave new breed of beverage-makers rising to break the stranglehold of subpar shakes.
Sno is stirring things up at Pavilion, with its enthusiastically friendly team urging shoppers to "shake it your way" with customized milkshakes, blended with a sweeping selection of candy & chocolate (everything from Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to Mars bars).
We played it safe on our Sno patrol and sampled their recommended combos. This SnoSignature _ comprising vanilla ice cream mixed with Nutella & Ferrero Rocher and topped with Cadbury flakes _ was close to perfection. Creamy and chocolatey but not cloying; refreshingly chilled without being bogged by frost.
Counting calories? Yogurt-based smoothies are available, including a "SnoBerry" that features froyo with strawberries, honey & Kellogg's Frosties. Better than most breakfast cereal mixes.
We could put it this way: it's the flavor of freedom, finally, following decades of dessert oppression by the purveyors of artificial-tasting shakes with one-dimensional textures. Free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
Our next request: alcohol-laced shakes, please!
Sno,
Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur.
Looks like a very fun place!
ReplyDeletebaby sumo: kids of all ages should love it! :D
ReplyDelete" Free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" - LOL.. since whn u so drama???
ReplyDeleteOMG Sean, tis is so so my fav place in Pav frm now on. Damn! i didnt knw it was open! I ws jz in Pav yesterday!
Where is it exactly & how much an average one cost?
wow, with this and Ben's, I have to go Pavilion soon!!!
ReplyDeletetng: heheh, was plagiarizing martin luther king jr's speech ... ohh, if i recall right, the prices for the medium-sized shakes are slightly less than RM10, and the large ones are about RM12. it's at the food court basement level, near the serai satay bar...
ReplyDeletebabe_kl: ya, enjoy a hearty, nutritious salad and some red duck curry at ben's, then head downstairs to end your meal on a sweet note with the milkshakes here! :D
when i visited, the ... guy at the counter (owner)? mentioned he had a FB page - did you happen to get it? I can't find it at all on FB search or google search.
ReplyDeleteconcept is awesome but they need work on their straw/cup. the one i tried had small marshmallows in it, but with normal sized straw couldn't suck it up, was so annoying ;[
Perfect! Not to expensive ;)
ReplyDeleteI would be LOST in front of that monitor - so many choices and I am too greedy. :D
ReplyDeleteHang on, so I have to drink everything I choose? From a cup?! Oh come on, where's the fun in that! I don't know about you but I want to be able to bite and gnaw my way through my favourite choc bars!
ReplyDeleteLong queue? Especially peoples suck at making decisions??
ReplyDeletetiming: oh yeah, it's this one: http://www.facebook.com/SnoShakes ... i think they also offer one of those straws with one end shaped as a scoop? yeah, we needed that to scrape up the kelloggs too :D
ReplyDeletetng: yep, costlier than mcd's shakes, but much more satisfying! =)
j: heheh, i'm already trying to decide what shakes to have in future. maybe mixed with reese's and topped with marshmallows :D
min: oooh, what you COULD do is buy a mars bar separately from elsewhere, and munch on it while drinking the milkshake! i'd like to do that =)
lemonadelime: ohhh, we were here on a weekday evening, around 8pm, but it was fine. no queue at all, phew! :D
First thing I noticed: The jar of Nutella on the counter! Always a good sign... :D
ReplyDeleteLfb: hopefully you won't be tempted to shoplift that jar while the staff members have their backs turned! :D
ReplyDeletelooks like a place for hip youngsters. Too technology savvy... i can't understand! I just want a drink minus the hassle... lol
ReplyDeleteeiling: heheh, no worries, the staff members here will help you with the system! :D
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember those ICEE drinks with the polar bear mascot? Any idea where I could score myself one next time I'm in KL?
ReplyDeletemakan monster: omg, i think it's been a couple of decades since i had that! haven't seen it around anywhere anymore. lemme know if you do spot it :D
ReplyDeleteSean, would you happen to have an email address I could contact you at? I am one of the directors of Snö. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteikso: it's seanyoong at gmail =)
