Anything that contains Avocado will taste yummy and at the same time Avocado has many benefits to your body as well.
If you happen to be at Alexandra Village for the famous Avocado Milkshake, you may have difficulty deciding in which stall to get, especially when both stalls are so close to one another. It happened to us too, so we decided to get both of them and compare the taste on the spot.
The avocado milkshake from both stalls are very similar - which is the blended mixture of avocado, together with fresh milk and evaporated milk.
Now, the way we differentiate these 2 stalls are the head gears worn by the avocado displayed on their signboard.
- Mr Avocado
- Operating Days: Daily
- Operating Time: 11 AM to 7 PM
- Address: #01-19, Alexandra Village Food centre, 120 Bukit Merah Lane 1
Mr Avocado has a stall logo with Sombrero, a Mexican hat on top of a Avocado mascot. This stall has been around since 1990. There was a significant longer queue seen at this stall when we visit. The avocado milkshake here is creamier, thicker with a distinctive taste of avocado with some taste of Gula Melaka. Their colour is slightly brownier than their competitor stall.
- King Avocado
- Operating Days: Closed on Wednesdays
- Operating Time: 8 AM to 10 PM
- Address: #01-17, Alexandra Village Food centre, 120 Bukit Merah Lane 1
The King Avocado stall has the mascot of a avocado with a crown. The colour of their avocado milkshake has a brighter green. While the queue was not as long as Mr Avocado, the owner was still seen giving every customer a bright smile. It was something that the stall owner at Mr Avocado did not give, and in fact, I personally saw some of Mr Avocado's customers in front of me being scolded for can’t deciding what to order when it was their turn to order.
This is a side by side picture of the Avocado milkshake from both stalls. After tasting both of them, I think that Mr Avocado (The logo with Mexican Hat) has a stronger taste of condensed milk, which also mean it is very much on a sweeter side as compared to the other. It is a little too sweet for my liking to be honest, and I had to wait for all the ice in the cup to melt and dilute the sweetness before I could finish drinking the rest of it.
On the other hand, Kind Avocado is not as sweet as Mr Avocado's version, and has a stronger avocado taste. The overall texture was also smoother.
Comparing both, I would prefer King Avocado, as it was not as sweet as Mr Avocado and had a less milky taste. If you prefer a sweeter version with a stronger milk taste, then Mr Avocado will definitely be a better choice. Do share with us your view after you have tried!
