Milk shortage??

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Yesterday morning, Moo Moo was closed and there was a sign saying that they stopped selling milk due to too much demand. But yesterday afternoon, they were back in business. I love their milk and have not had milk go off on me. But then a 2-liter bottle only lasts me about 5 days.

A friend of mine who insists on "real" milk tells me its harder to get at the moment. I always go for UHT, tastes exactly the same and there is plenty on the shelves from UK, Australia, France etc.

For people used to UHT both milks may taste the same. But if you grew up having fresh or pastorized milk the difference is huge.

Other than a splash in tea or coffee I would never touch the stuff! Superheated to around 140c it would never taste the same.

SR grocery stores (e.g, AAA Market) are putting limitations on how much Meiji milk you can buy, but oddly enough, this doesn't seem to apply to Dutch Mill or Kirisu farm products.

Is the whole damn thing made up by Meiji to justify a weakness in their supply chain or what?

Here in SR, we only get that MooMoo milk cut with vegetable oil that comes in the little paper pouches, otherwise the main milk we get here is either Dutch Mill, Meiji or Kirisu (I prefer the latter, though I do like Meiji since it has a nice cheese-like flavour I kinda enjoy)

Not Milk. I do not like the taste of milk. Could not stand it as a child and stopped drinking it

It makes no difference if you put it into a Nescafe Red Cup, plus 2 saccharin tablets. Taste great.
