So since beverages are cheap they are a major source of expirimentation for me in new places. I like to try to drink everything they have to offer, especially if it is served in a plastic bag. Here are my Singapore discoveries:
Milo: This is Nestle Quik, I don't know why it has a different name.
Barley Juice: Not too much flavor but one of the cheaper things you can drink.
100 Plus: This canned soda can be avoided from now on. I don't know what type of fruit juice it was trying to imitate and add carbonation to, but my breath still smells bad.
Sugar Cane: So cool because they actually run the sugar cane through a press right in front of you and litterally hand you a bag of the juice that comes out. Fabulous.
Water Chestnut Juice: If your saying to yourself "I like water chestnuts, maybe this will be good" you are sorely mistaken. I'm a big water chestnut fan but the murky greyish-brown juice it produces is really nasty.
Durian Ice Cream: Okay this isn't a bev... Here you get a big slice of ice cream between two wafers or two pieces of white bread for a Singapore Dollar so I'm all about this. I tried all the good flavors and then decided I had to do the durian. The fruit I know only by reputation that I can't buy in Thailand bc it only comes in massive quantities. So I wussed out and just tried the ice cream flavor... not terrible. Not in my top 35 favorite ice cream flavors, but not terrible.
Alas my beverage tasting tour of Singapore is through... maybe I'll have time to try "Horlick" at the airport but I think that's pretty much the only mystery out there. (Shaharris? Paxon? care to enlighten me?)
