Food News: Mr. Bean Celebrates First Year Anniversary with Price Rollback

Singapore's leading soya chain, Mr. Bean, celebrates it's first year anniversary in Manila with a two-day price rollback for all of its specialty soya-based products. Very cool.

Established 18 years ago by two college buddies, Kang Puay Seng and Loh Jweh Poh opened their very first stall in People's Park Hawker Center after perfecting a machine that could make fresh soya milk quickly and efficiently. Today, Mr. Bean has grown to more than 50 stores island wide, with a growing regional presence in Japan, China, and Malaysia. And Mr. Bean continues its regional expansion with the opening of four branches in Manila, with plans for even more branches.

No other chain offers 100% soya-based products, and Mr. Bean provides refreshing, and healthy options with its wide range of soya specialties, from fresh soya milk, pancakes made from soya flour, fresh fruit soya shakes, icy soya drinks, ice cream and even taho. This is your one stop shop for everything soya, and Mr. Bean is definitely the place for a refreshing and healthy soya fix. 

And the secret to Mr. Bean's signature products is the premium quality of its soya beans. Mr. Bean uses only the finest and highest grade non-genetically modified (NGMO) soya beans, which even go through a unique and patented de-shelling process to remove all traces of purine, an active ingredient linked to uric acid in beans. The result? Smooth, silky and refreshing soya products with a clean taste that's satisfying and healthy. Nice.

Mr. Bean's extensive soy-based beverage offerings include the Icy Soya Lychee (L), with pearls of Lychee Pop that burst and "pop" with a rich lychee flavor; Fresh Fruity Soya (M), and the watermelon soya combo works pretty well; and the Classic Cold Soya Milk (R).  Other Fresh Fruity Soya flavors include Papaya, Melon, Honeydew and Mango, while other flavors for Mr. Bean's Icy Soya include Strawberry, Chocolate, Mocha and the Classic Soya. Perfect for summer, Mr. Bean's soya beverages also brings unique flavor combos that are new and different. 

Then, there's Mr. Bean's signature Pancakes made with soya flour for a unique taste and flavor, and a perfect match with any of Mr. Bean's hot and cold soya beverages. Great for a light breakfast or snack, these pocket sized pancakes pack a lot of flavor, and come in Peanut Butter, Chocolate, Cheese and the traditional Singaporean favorite, Kaya.  

The pancakes are served hot fresh off the specially designed irons, and there's truly nothing like a warm pancake. The rich and creamy filling blends well with the soft and chewy texture of the pancake, a cool snack. 

And you just have to try Mr. Bean's version of the iconic Chilled Taho, a personal favorite. Smooth, velvety and silky, the classic taho version of Mr. Bean preserves the clean taste of the soya, lightly sweetened with natural coco sugar. 

And Mr. Bean continues to surprise with its smooth Soy Ice Cream, now this one's a winner. Silky smooth and velvety, almost custard like, the pure and clean taste of soya is preserved in Mr. Bean's unique ice cream. Mr. Bean also offers a variety of toppings, like tapioca Pearls, Chocolate Fudge, Caramel Fudge and  Lychee Pop if you're looking for an extra kick in flavor, but this is really great as is.  

You can end your light meal at Mr. Bean with their Hot Classic Soya Milk, just perfect to cap any light meal at Mr. Bean. Also available in Chocolate and Mocha, the classic Soya Milk has a refreshing and clean flavor that is rich on its own. A good alternative to your usual latte, and healthier too.

And here's something really cool. Never thought soy beans would be a great crunchy snack. Wasabi Soy Beans? Why not.

With its unique line of soy-based products, Mr. Bean is definitely a must try, and a cool alternative to the usual beverage options. And the best part? Mr. Bean is rolling back their prices for all the products on May 1, plus get a chance to win a Free Gift for the first 40 customers on May 1 and 2. Now that's a pretty cool deal.  

Different, unique, refreshing and healthy, Mr. Bean is a cool alternative to your usual beverage options. Special thanks to Anne King, Marketing Director, for a truly refreshing and unique experience at Mr. Bean. Looking for something new and different? Check out Mr. Bean...you'll be glad you did.
