Malaysian Milo…

April 23, 2006 20064 2:17 am | In Funny |

Have you guys read this on Wikipedia:

Milo is very popular in Malaysia, where the brand name is synonymous with chocolate flavoured drinks. Milo manufactured in Malaysia is made to dissolve well in hot water to produce a smooth hot chocolate drink, or with ice added for a cold drink. Milo in Malaysia is served in kopitiams and mamak stalls offering versions such as "Milo Dinosaur" (a cup of milo with an extra spoonful of powdered undissolved Milo added to it), "Milo Godzilla" (a cup of Milo with ice cream and/or whipped cream on top of it) and "Neslo" (combined with Nescafe powdered coffee).

I've only heard of Neslo, but Milo Dinosaur? and Godzilla? Where do you find this?

One can order Milo in Singapore or Malaysia's Kopi tiam by placing an order for "Kick Ball" in the Hokkien language, referring to the fact that the company has been sponsoring soccer events in the region especially Singapore and has been using pictures showing soccer players. Alternatively, Milo with ice added is known as "Milo Peng", "peng" means ice in Cantonese and Hokkien.

I've only called it Milo Peng, but what's the "Kick Ball" phrase…anyone knows?

2. Milo Dinosaur (aka Milo D) is just milo with milo powder on top. Quite easy to make yourself, but there are cafes that sell them lar. There used to be one in Subang Jaya SS15, but that one close shop adee. Not sure where else sells it.

6. Manufactured by Nestle Food Kenya Ltd.

   It does taste different, because I normally mix it with milk. I used to mix it with instant milk powder when I was in Malaysia and now I'm using semi-skimmed…

7. haha, I knew milo but never knew it is call 'kick ball', if i want milo peng, does it call kick ball peng? o_0|| weird…

   i like to drink milo kosong (milo without any sugar or milk), because milo itself already very sweet, if add sugar will become too sweet. Just add more spoon of milo powder, then you will get a vey nice milo 'gao'.

8. i'm a milo junkie. need a cuppa every morning to get me into the correct mood.

   milo in m'sia is palm based. whereas in aust, uk and hongkong it's malt based. thankfully, i prefer the palm based. guessed it's cos i'm used to it. else, it would be a very expensive additiction to maintain.
