    This ducth milk is creamier than the US or New zeleand UHT milk and less sweet.
    For me the Dutch milk taste like milk. US milk taste like chemicals. I always buy a 12pack in PrizeMart. Not sure about the 'normal' price, could have been $11. They are often sold out though.

    Read the fine print folks, especially in this town

    The two best fresh milks I have found in HK are, Farm Milk & California Sunshine milk. Both been consistent and reasonably priced.
    Yes, that pesky milk drink is everywhere. Hate the stuff. Never tried Farm Milk but after working my way through all the different milk brands in Park n Shop, I found the best fresh milks they sold were California Sunshine and Meiji, with Greenfields acceptable as a back up. Quite often they had deals for 3 for the price of 2 which brought the price down to a less ridiculous level but milk in HK is still expensive compared to a lot of other countries. As for UHT milk, bleurgh!!!!

    I don't want the UHT milk available in supermarket and really want some fresh milk options

    Thanks a lot
    Why don't you ask Kowloon Diary if they discount bulk orders? It's in the back of the label. It's still the least expensive for the quality you get.

    its all in your head. start reading here Ultra-high-temperature processing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    i would never drink anything but UHT milk in Asia due to the high standards of our delivery workers who often leave milk out in summer for extended periods of time. ie, if you can get real fresh milk here.

    i would never drink american milk, unless certified organic.

    There is nothing australian about greenfields. indonesia has no standards for steroids and antibiotics use for cattle.

    California Sunshine is Ultra-Pasteurization, ahem UHT. California Sunshine - FAQs same goes for all american milk

    if you like to be stubborn, you can find more of your kind here. http://www.foodrenegade.com/just-say-no-to-uht-milk/

    My supermarket is consistently jam packed with California Sunshine selling it for $10HKD/L cause no one wants it. The food industry in US treats people like cows.

    where is your supermarket, is this a special offer or clearance price?

    could be worse, sanlu and mengliu milk has killed kids in china, yet, they still sell milk products, I suppose the owners of sanlu paid the ultimate penalty with their executions

    Only organic milk from Great at $72/L for me. Sometimes I slum it and get the Avalon organic milk for $65/L. Sorry, us rich bankers don't concern ourselves with such piddly details as milk prices.





    joke folks, joke.
