I visited Alabang Towncenter and went to their new wing – The Garden Wing.  There is a Starbucks as well in this area!

No not that Mr. Bean but this Mr. Bean 🙂

I have not heard of this though they had opened since last April 2012 – this store.  They have expanded to Eastwood Mall, Lucky Chinatown Mall and soon in Mc Kinley Hills.  I can’t wait for the Makati branch to open!  Mr. Bean is a franchise from Singapore.  18 years ago found by two college friends who developed a machine that could make soya milk quickly and efficiently.  Their first stall was in People’s park Hawker Center.  They now have 50 stores in Singapore and are available already in Japan, Korea, China and Malaysia

I met the owner of Mr. Bean there – Anne Tan King.  She is the cousin of Donna and Diana of Sariwon.  This is the second generation of the Jollibee family and they are now starting new franchises.  I love these young ladies – they are all so humble and so so nice!  Anne told me that they are all owners but each one handles each franchise separately so that there will be no conflict in management though they have board meetings regularly to monitor their businesses as a team.  I admire them and I hope they can continue this.

I am not really a taho or soy milk person, but after trying Mr. Bean, I am now converted!  I love Soy – anything soy 🙂 atleast from Mr. Bean

I tried almost everything on the menu!  Anne served me their bestsellers

Of course the basic CLASSIC soya milk chilled for me since its summer 🙂

All the products are made fresh daily and once it reaches a certain period of expiry – they dispose it and make a fresh batch.  They have a machine behind in their backroom which processes the soy beans.  All the soy beans are imported from Malaysia

Then I tried the Icy Lychee! I loved it because of the lychee pop which was in the drink! Instead of the usual sago balls its a lychee pop which literally pops in your mouth!

Then I got to try the watermelon which was for me something I would order because they use fresh fruit.  In the menu there is a FRESH FRUIT SOY drink section – those are all fresh fruits mixed with soy milk.  I would recommend those for health reasons

And then the taho!  Anne told me they had to change the wording of the menu so that our countrymen could identify with taho! 🙂

I took home some of these and my boys loved it!! They are the real taho eaters!  This is how it comes in so it is easy to take home.  I feel safer buying these rather than through vendors in the street in terms of safety and sanitary reasons.  No offense to the vendors because we do want to support them too

You can add sugar to your soy products, you have to specify your sweetness level 🙂 Love this feature!

Oh my gosh!  I liked this next one – mostly because of that peanut rice ball!!!  I like to order only the rice ball! 🙂  It reminds me of a mochi or a buchi in a chinese restaurant!!
