The craze for frozen yogurt is literally unstoppable; there are more and more froyo joints opening no matter around the corner or in big malls. A typical chinese metaphor would be «bamboo shoots after the first rain in the spring» which actually fits pretty well in this context as these shops do appear out of the blue.
This shop however is slightly different from the typical ones in two ways; firstly, unlike most that only provide one to two flavors, this joint has up to 5 nozzles each with different flavors for customers to choose from, not only the flavor, the customers also get to choose how much they want. Secondly, there is a self service counter of topping ranging from granola to freshly diced fruits, much like the yogurt, customers could also choose the amount to add on top of their favorite yogurt.
Since there is a great degree of liberty, it is not meaningful to change base on number of cups, that’s why the shop charges base on weight, the heavier the cup, the more you have to pay, fair deal no?
Another thing that is note worthy is the different flavors they offer; there were a few that i didnt see them coming. Honey with lavender? Bitter almond? Definitely not the flavor you normally expect from a yogurt joint. This makes it a joy to go and see what flavors they are now having; and it always is a pleasant surprise.

The frozen yogurt craze was huge in Hong Kong a few years back — new frozen yogurt places were popping up everywhere, and you would constantly see and hear people comparing the different joints and discussing which is better than the other.
Tutti Melon was easily a fan favorite. Back then, it was one of the first to introduce an entirely self-​serve system — from working the machines yourself to adding in your own toppings, and then weighing it at the cashier for payment. They also had a ton of different flavors — besides original, there was stuff like chocolate, banana, Yakult etc. You could pick one flavor, a few, or just try a little of all of them if you can’t decide!
The thing about me with frozen yogurt is that I like it as plain as can be. My favorite flavor is original, and my favorite topping (yes, that’s the singular form of the noun — I’m minimalistic this way and don’t like having a lot of toppings) is strawberry. Throwing in any kind of sauce in my frozen yogurt is blasphemy.
And that’s why Tutti Melon is not really my kind of place. I don’t need all these strange flavors and I am definitely not going to toss in chocolate chips and rainbow gummies and strawberry marshmallows!
My yogurt rants aside, Tutti Melon is great if you love trying out different flavors and adore loading a bunch of toppings into your yogurt. Their flavors change often — there may be blueberry one week and it’ll be gone next week, and while that means your favorite might not be available every time you’re there, you’ll get to try different flavors and hopefully find a new favorite or two. This place has one of the largest selections of toppings I’ve seen — fruits, candies, chocolates, nuts… they’ve got it all!
The downside though is that because it’s the weigh-​and-​pay system, sometimes you go a little overboard. When I was much, much younger and wasn’t the stickler for plain yogurts I am now, the first time I was there, I added a little of every flavor and threw in a bunch of toppings and it ended up costing me almost $ 60! And I didn’t even feel like I had added that much in. It may be hard to find a seat here during weekends and holidays, so your best bet may just be taking it away and eating while walking.
