I grew up drinking milk made from condensed milk + hot water. My mum tried to get me the better brand condensed milk and even that was hard to come by.

Just saw on C N A that VB says he is shocked tt a family feeds the children with condensed milk and water.


I grew up on that. Price of milk powder has tripled over the decade. Has our salary tripled? Even condensed milk is not cheap.

Shocking? Or rather awakening :yikes: :lightrod:

VB is shocked because he has never drink it before. I guess he will be more shocked if he live with the poor now.

Long time ago, condensed milk was considered a luxury. Not food for the poor! We were not allowed to take too much, and we took turns to lick the spoon clean. Before throwing away the emptied tin, we would make the last cup of milo or kopi in the tin.

No leh. children at my time took Dumex, S26 or Nespray. The less affluent folks gave their kids Condensed milk in replacement for milk formula.

In this day and age, it is not common for a family to be feeding their babies with condense milk with water.


Looking at how many of you like condense milk, I think I am the odd one out. I hate it. As a kid, I would rather add fresh milk, coffeemate or at times milk powder to my milo but most of the time, I will be drinking it kosong. Same goes for coffee and tea.

Warm water with condensed milk. Wow it’s yummy. But I also agree with wormy the Price of milk powder has tripled over the decade. So it is not affordable for all parents also.
