YO-CHI at Orchard Central: Build Your Own Frozen Yoghurt Bowl with Fresh Fruit, Sweet Toppings and Açaí

October 26, 2026

Craving a refreshing dessert after shopping along Orchard Road? YO-CHI at Orchard Central brings an Australian-style self-serve frozen yoghurt and açaí experience to Singapore. Instead of choosing a fixed combination from a menu, you can create your own bowl by swirling your preferred base, adding toppings and finishing with sauces to suit your taste.

Located on the ground floor of Orchard Central, YO-CHI is a convenient stop for friends, families, shoppers and dessert lovers exploring the Somerset area. Its colourful toppings bar, choice of yoghurt flavours and customisable portions make each visit a little different.

What Is YO-CHI?

YO-CHI is an Australian frozen yoghurt brand founded in Melbourne. Its concept centres on self-expression, community and personalised frozen desserts. Customers can serve themselves at the frozen yoghurt stations, select toppings and pay according to the weight of their creation.

YO-CHI opened its first international outlet at Orchard Central in August 2025. The Singapore store combines the brand's self-serve concept with toppings suited to local tastes, making it an easy addition to a shopping trip or an after-dinner dessert outing.

The experience is designed to be interactive: you decide how much yoghurt to serve, whether to mix flavours and how generous to be with the toppings. This flexibility also means the final price depends on the amount you put into your bowl.

Choose Your Frozen Yoghurt Flavours

YO-CHI offers a changing selection of flavours, with familiar favourites alongside seasonal options. The official Singapore website highlights several flavours, although availability can vary by day and outlet.

Signature Tart

For those who enjoy a tangier frozen yoghurt, Signature Tart is a classic choice. Its refreshing flavour can balance sweeter toppings such as cookie pieces, chocolate sauce and confectionery.

Classic Vanilla

Classic Vanilla offers a familiar, versatile base that pairs well with fruit, crunchy toppings and sweet sauces. It is a good option if you prefer a milder flavour profile.

Salted Butterscotch and Chocolate

Salted Butterscotch brings a caramel-like sweetness with a hint of salt, while Chocolate offers a richer dessert flavour. Combining different bases can create a more personalised bowl, depending on the flavours available at the station.

Fruit-Inspired and Seasonal Flavours

Other flavours featured by YO-CHI Singapore include Strawberry Cream, Mango and Cookies & Cream. Seasonal choices may rotate, so look at the flavour labels in-store before deciding what to try.

YO-CHI states that its yoghurt is made with real Australian milk rather than powder, and that most flavours are 98% fat-free. The brand also offers vegan or dairy-free options, but recipes differ by flavour. Check the official allergen information or ask the team about ingredients if you have dietary restrictions.

Build Your Own Bowl with Toppings

The toppings bar is a major part of the YO-CHI experience. Once you have chosen your frozen yoghurt or açaí base, you can add a combination of fruit, sweets, crunchy ingredients and sauces.

Fresh Fruit and Fruity Additions

Fresh strawberries and other fruit can add natural sweetness and a refreshing contrast to the yoghurt. YO-CHI says its fruit is freshly cut and prepared daily on-site. Availability depends on the selection offered during your visit.

Mochi, Cookie Dough and Chocolate Treats

For a more indulgent bowl, look out for toppings such as mini mochi, chocolate chip cookie dough, brownie-style treats, cookie pieces and other sweet additions. These provide different textures, from soft and chewy to crunchy.

Local-Inspired Toppings

The Singapore outlet has also featured local-friendly options such as coconut jelly and nata de coco, alongside popping pearls and other toppings. These additions bring a different texture to a frozen yoghurt bowl and work well with fruit flavours.

Sauces and Crunchy Finishes

Chocolate sauces, nuts and other crunchy ingredients can round out your creation. If you want to keep the yoghurt flavour prominent, start with a small number of toppings and add more gradually. If you prefer a dessert that feels closer to an ice-cream sundae, combine several sweet toppings and a sauce.

Tip for first-time visitors: Start with a smaller swirl, sample the available flavours and add toppings in stages. Since the final price is based on weight, this also helps you manage your portion and spending.

Açaí Bowls at YO-CHI Orchard Central

In addition to frozen yoghurt, YO-CHI offers an açaí option for customers who prefer a fruit-based bowl. Açaí has a distinctive berry-like flavour and is often paired with fruit, crunchy toppings and sweet additions.

YO-CHI states that its açaí berries are organic and sustainably sourced. Depending on the options available at the store, you can personalise your bowl with toppings to create a combination that suits your preference.

If you are unsure which base to choose, ask the team about the available flavours and ingredients. The exact selection can change, so do not assume every option listed online will be available at the toppings bar on the day.

How Much Does YO-CHI Cost?

YO-CHI uses a self-serve, pay-by-weight model. You select your frozen yoghurt or açaí, add your preferred toppings and take your bowl to the counter for weighing. The amount you pay depends on the total weight of your creation.

Media coverage of the Singapore launch of YO-CHI's second outlet in May 2026 reported prices starting from approximately S$3.50 per 100g. Treat this as a reference rather than a guaranteed current Orchard Central price, as rates and menu details may change. Check the price displayed in-store before filling your bowl.

To keep your bill predictable, use a smaller cup or bowl if available, avoid adding toppings simply because they are there, and check the final weight at checkout. Açaí, heavier toppings and generous sauce portions can increase the total quickly.

Current Offers and Chi Club Rewards

YO-CHI runs its Chi Club membership programme through its app. Members can earn points, receive birthday rewards and access occasional offers. This is the main official channel to check for current member promotions rather than relying on old social media posts or third-party voucher pages.

The voucher applies to one bowl only and cannot be combined with other offers. It is not valid for online purchases or merchandise.

Earn Chi Points

Members earn one Chi Point for every S$10 spent at a YO-CHI venue. Once 10 points have accumulated, members can redeem them towards eligible products in-store, subject to the programme's terms. Points are not redeemable for cash.

Birthday Rewards and App Offers

Chi Club members may receive a birthday voucher worth S$10, subject to membership and verification requirements. The app may also feature spontaneous offers and monthly Special-Chi toppings, giving members a way to keep up with limited-time additions.
