Nestle introduces Low Fat Milkmaid Sweetened Condensed Milk
-
If you have read Sunday Life section, there is this full page ad
That Carnation Low Fat Evaporated Milk has been arround for many years liao, still remembered it was made in Australia and not Thailand today
They used Teh Tarik as the ad selling point
But no use, hawkers will still use Sweeteners as it is abt $15 cheaper per ctn than Condensed Milk
P.S This new product will cost more -
The low fat evap milk is very thin, gotta add a lot to tea, and still, it doesn't taste as good as the normal teh-si made with full cream evap milk. Well, there's always a trade-off.
-
just like how fat free milk tastes like crap to me the first few times i drank it.. its normal to me now cuz im so used to it
-
why take condensed milk if one is afraid of the fat?
-
You need it for beverages like MiloOriginally posted by dragg:why take condensed milk if one is afraid of the fat?
But this product will end up not popular as it will cost more, neither will hawkers use it -
What's the diff btn sweetener and condensed milk? Both look the same.
All the while I thot the kopi shops had been using condensed milk.
-
unless the lowfat can taste like the reguar ones.. i doubt many people will buy it. either sacrifice taste or blood sugar level
-
Since that ad came out, the Fairprice near my place ran out of stock of the low fat evap milk. And Prime mkt at my place started stocking it.
All thanks to the teh tarek hoo har. -
i wonder if the new product is as good. condensed milk seems 'irreplaceable'.
-
I always think evaporated milk tastes better leh... make the tea so rich and creaaaammy even the low fat version worrrr
-
The milkmaid name is a big hoohah itself.

condensed milk = unsweetened evaporated milk + sugar ? -
SCM are poor man's creamer. in some poor countries, they even feed SCM to babies. SCM are good if you dont have a chiller because SCM itself will not turn bad even you leave it in the open for weeks and months. You only have to prevent ants from coming.Originally posted by kalangkabo:they're the same mah...
EVAP on the other hand, is very sensitve and it requires retorting and sterlization during the canning process. Unlike SCM, once you open up a can of EVAP, you will have to keep it in the fridge and consume it within a week or so.
Which one if better? I usually mixed them together when I drink my coffee in the morning. but becareful, EVAP milk are very fattening. -
nonono, you said above condensed milk come in sweetened and unsweetened form. Unsweetened form used in bandung and kopi c.Originally posted by kalangkabo:that's what i said wat -
very funny, how can it not be sweetened when you add sugar?Originally posted by kalangkabo:so what's the difference?
evaporated milk = unsweetened condensed milk + sugar ?
