We tried Korean Brand Tom's Farm Yogurt Almonds v. Mugerbon Yogurt Almonds and here's my review.

We tried Korean Brand Tom's Farm Yogurt Almonds v. Mugerbon Yogurt Almonds and Here's My Review.

I love pairing almonds with my after-lunch tea. My favorite is Tom's Farm yogurt flavored almonds from Korea. It doubles as a healthy dessert too. But recently, I found it difficult to source this flavor of Tom's Farm Almonds so I tried another brand of yogurt flavored almonds called Mugerbon. The 210 gram size of Mugerbon Yogurt flavored almonds is the same price as Tom's Farm Yogurt flavored almonds. 



The one on the left is Mugerborn.
The one on the right is Tom's Farm.


MY REVIEW 



As you can see, coating is looks almost the same

Taste:
Mugerborn: Tastes like Nestle creamy yogurt. It's sweeter than Tom's Farm.

Tom's Farm: Tastes like Yakult. They were able to replicate the sour Yakult tang as you bite into the almonds. The packaging shows what looks like a yakult bottle so the representation is quite accurate.

I like Tom's Farm yogurt almond exactly because of the sour yakult tang. But my daughter dislikes it. She likes Mugerborn better. So depending on what yogurt taste you like better, you cannot go wrong with either, especially since a 210 g pouched is priced the same from Shopee where I get it.
