Meilock SourSop Juice: Old Airport Road Food Centre Part 5 of 9
With ieatMaMa, iwatch_ueat and superfinefeline
It just goes to show that you just need to think out of the box a little and differentiate your product from the others to be successful. I have always wondered why in every Food Centre, there are a few hawkers trying to sell the same thing and no one bothers to try to differentiate their product.
The best example I can think of is Satay at places such as Lao Pa Sat, East Coast Lagoon Food Village and Clarke Quay. You get there and all the Satay looks the same, so which one to pick?
Back to the subject of Sour Sop. This seller was originally selling sugar cane, but decided to differentiate by selling soursop instead. Then he came up with an ice blended version of the original soursop drink because he said that people who take away the original drink had trouble trying to drink it while driving.
Just in case you think it is easy to do this at home, the big hurdle is to get your hands on really good quality soursops. Look at these beauties. You can't find them at any ordinary fruit shop. Then you also have to do something to the soursop aside from just peeling off the skin and making it into a puree. (I could tell you, but Uncle will be very sour about it).
Unless you really enjoy sucking at the seed, I highly recommend the ice blended version. The intensity of the soursop taste is tongue tinglingly titillating and a very refreshing accompaniment to all that great hawker food at Old Airport Road. $2.50 4.25/5
Great service from this Teochew Ah Hia who insists that all of the hawkers at Old Airport Road have to be TeoChew in order to be able to rent a store there! You can tell that we had a bit of a laugh taking his picture can't you?

Just finish my plate of wanton mee, then i go buy soursop drink, i must agree with u that the drink is good
OooOOoooOOoooo......the drink is sooooo good. Great for waking up a "dead" mouth.
There is another drinks stall selling sour plum with lime juice I just tried today. It was very refreshing, with the same taste (or better) as M'sia. Its just located next to the wanton mee with the yellow signboard. The friendly owner told me no sugar added, but its sweet enough. Try it, strongly recommended!
yes.. laugh-laugh.. spiky green tits
tried e sour sop drink yesterday. quite good! =) but only one complain.. e drink was't cold enough when i drink it.. have to wait for a while before it's cold enough to drink..
would suggest tat e soursop be kept in e fridge n put into e plastic cup instead of having cups of soursop (w/o e juice yet) lying on e shelf (wat if got small roaches?!)
it's more hygiene n u get cold soursop juice immediately!! shiok!!
