SK Full Cream UHT Milk
1137 days agoWent on yet another shopping spree yesterday. This time, I bought 3 packs of SK Full Cream UHT Milk to make even more cultured milk products. They were on offer, so I grabbed them. Not exactly cheapest I have seen but they will do. And it was on sale at the Save N Save next to my house and what is more convenient for me, to walk about 1 kilometer to NTUC or to buy milk just downstairs? This is a no brainer.
3 packets of 1 litre SK Full Cream Milk for S$5.05. The cheapest I can find at Shop N Save and still need to buy 3 packets. Makes me wonder why are prices so much different in various supermarkets chains? I have seen very cheap foodstuff from Shop N Save too, even compared to NTUC or Sheng Siong. If you remember, the Dutch Lady UHT Full Cream Milk I purchased recently is only S$1.60 per pack! Looks like the price wars between these supermarket chains are non-existence.
Yes, 100% Fresh Milk! Hooray! And look at that poor little cow at the bottom. Looks a bit pathetic to have 1 cow in such a big field.
Product of Indonesia? I didn’t know the Indonesia has a lot of cows. Hope that they don’t go the way of China and start adding “stuff” to their milk. What is the taste difference between the milk from the cows in Indonesia and the cows in Australia? I guess due to the fact that the Australian cows have bigger space to roam and better quality of grass to eat, the milk produced by Australian cows will be better? No idea. Hey, this is distributed by Japfa Food Distributors based in Kallang. Are they the same ones that bring in the Japfa fruit drinks?
Yes, the ingredients are just full cream fresh milk which have been Ultra Heat Treated. Great!
Anyway, I have attempted to make Yakult with milk and some Yakult starter (which is actually some of the Yakult drink). The result was actually successful. I had used the Easiyo yogurt maker to make my Yakult. The temperature needed for fermentation is 37 °C which is lower than that needed by the yogurt cultures. So instead of adding boiling water to the baffel level in the Easiyo Flask, I added boiling water to about 3/4 full and fermented for a day. It sort of works. Truthfully, I have no idea whether it worked or not since I have not tasted Yakult in it’s true form. The Yakult we buy are mixed with fruit juices and sugars, so the drinker will probably not know what pure Yakult actually tastes like. Well….
