I'd definitely agree there. Similarly Dutch Lady Full Cream milk tastes best when used with any type of beverage, coffee, tea, Milo, cocoa or anything else due to the rich milky flavour. With other brands of milk such as Nestle, Fernleaf, Marigold, Good day etc., you don't feel the added richness of the milk when it is added into your beverage drink. As if you didn't add any milk in the drink with these brands even though you have poured the milk into your tea or coffee. Tastes more like water than milk.
With Dutch lady full cream milk, you can really taste the creamy taste of the milk.
Yes, price is very reasonable with Dutch Lady Full cream milk with RM5 per pack being the cheapest I can find throughout the years. I will buy at least half dozen (1 carton) if it is priced at RM5 to 5.50. Sometimes the price goes up to above RM6 and closer to RM7 and I'd say forget it.
The other brands of inferior milk such as Fernleaf and Good day, sometimes they are priced at RM4 per pack but I won't be buying them anymore as the taste cannot match the Dutch Lady Full cream milk.
The milk in the cold section cannot be kept long and it is slightly higher in price than the non-cold section so I usually buy less of the cold milk. However, what I've found is the taste of the Dutch Lady full cream or Fresh milk in the cold section is slightly pure in the taste than the Dutch Lady full cream milk in the non-cold section. In other words, you can drink the milk by itself and the taste is more pure. You can also drink the Dutch Lady full cream milk in the non-cold section but you can feel the taste is not as pure, but as a complement to tea, coffee. Milo and other cocoa beverages it is perfect due to the stronger milk taste which brings out the flavour.
Half dozen, that's quite an amount of milk! It seems you like milky beverages very much, well at least it's healthier than non-dairy creamer which we should avoid at best.
It's true but weird and i don't know why, same ingredient - milk but different brands taste not the same at all, not even close to Dutch lady. I like my milk tea very strong, like brewing 25g of black tea leaves per mug of 450ml. Other brands of full cream milk either too watery or taste weird, leaving the tea too overpowering. Only Dutch lady full cream milk can smoothly balance my strong tea with its creamy flavor, like 40% milk and 50% strong tea, another 10% of sweetener would be just fine.
Speaking of sweetener, i found that brown sugar goes well with both milk tea and coffee, whereas honey paired with matcha latte would yield an interesting taste, depending on the type of honey you use. Capilano organic honey (white label bottle) has a very strong wild floral taste, it's odd if i put it in my other beverages but tastes heavenly if i just paired only with Dutch lady full cream milk and again, Dutch lady wins.
Yes, i wouldn'd be tempted to buy other cheaper brands. I will always zoomed for the blue packing of Dutch lady. But not the light blue Dutch lady low fat milk, it just wouldn't have the same creaminess as full cream. I can diet on any food but not my full cream beverages! Imagine having a spoiled drink, what could be worse than that?
I think that's the reason why Dutch lady has both full cream milk in the cold and non cold section. As a breakfast milk and as a complementary to beverages. The price also not the same.
