Which is the better frozen yogurt?

My love for yogurt started out when a friend treated me to my first cup of fro yo. I never fancied ordinary yogurt particularly because of its strong sour flavor so despite my distant memory of yogurt taste I ate what was bought for me. Surprisingly, I acquired a liking for this dessert and so began my quest for the best frozen yogurt in town.

California berry. This was my first taste of yogurt. Thanks to Mr. Yael Yuzon, I am now a fro yo lover. California berry's choice of toppings is not too impressive, but it's enough to make picking toppers a chore. I personally love the blueberry flavored fro yo with froot loops. Texture of the fro yo is somewhere between a soft serve ice cream, and melted ice cream that you put again in the fridge. You get what I mean? It has those ice crystals that aren't too huge and flaky.

Golden Spoon. For those who don't like the tart flavor of yogurt, this one's for you. I love their Belgian chocolate. It's enough without toppings because it'll just become sweeter. I tried the coconut flavor and it felt like eating Hawaiian tropic lotion because of the scent. I'll just stick to my choco yogurt with my winner of a topper-choco chip cookie dough. On a scale of 1-5 the smoothness gets a 4.

Teriyaki boy yogato. I chanced upon yogato when we had my sister's birthday lunch at Teriyaki boy. Kudos to the exotic topping choices: japanese bread crumbs, black sesame seeds, apollo candies, mochi, and wasabi cream. The last one is only for the brave and although I'm brave enough for it my sis wasn't. I'll leave that one for another day.Yogato texture scores a 4 for me as well.
White hat. My ultimate fave. Texture racks up a 5 for smoothness and creaminess. It's almost like dense soft serve ice cream.Yogurt may be healthy but not if you're me because you're bound to pick homemade cheesecake and choco chip cookie dough to go with it. 

With so many fro yo places out there, my quest sees no immediate end. I'll be back for more.
