Recommendation of Fresh Milk Packet

[lalala88]

Hi all,

Anyone can recommend what good brand of packet Fresh Milk I can get for my babies? They are pre-schoolers anyway!

Prefer FRESH one, NO Reconstituted one.

There are many nuances to what is meant by fresh when it comes to milk. One could argue that there is no “truly fresh” milk sold here. Obviously UHT is the opposite of fresh, but what about ultra-pasteurized milk?

Putting that aside, I believe Meiji brand is almost your only choice for “fresh” milk in child sized packs here. Meiji is a Japanese brand but their “fresh” milk sold here is sourced from Thailand.

Personally, I can’t drink plain milk on its own here in Singapore due to off putting smell and taste compared to what I grew up with in the USA. Just strictly on flavor, ANZ sourced milk is best, with Meiji being one notch down. The absolute worst tasting milk is the local brands like Magnolia and HL, which for me can induce a gag reflex. For Meiji, I can only drink their flavored milks and wouldn’t even put their plain milk on my cereal.

I like Meiji and been drinking it for over 20 years, it's the only brand I'll buy unless I can't find it on the shelves, Then I'll get Magnolia. But Meiji's definitely the best. Try getting the Hokkaido milk the really expensive one and you'll find it tastes exactly like Meiji

Meiji milk is the best of the commonly available brands for sure. I normally drink my milk with (flavored) whey protein powder and still find brands like Magnolia quite yucky!
