Though it is well known for being a FOB drink (Fresh off Boat drink - i.e. a drink that is favoured by the un-assimilated asians out there), I thought I would just write about how good this drink is.
My earliest memory of Horlicks - a delicious malt-flavoured hot drink - was at my grandparents house. When I used to go over to their place in Freo for sleepovers, my grandma used to make me a nice cuppa of Horlicks before going to sleep. I don't know what it is about Horlicks but it had the tendency to knock me for a six for the rest of the night (maybe she snuck in a little sumpin-sumpin?). But whatever the effect it had on me - Horlicks tasted good.
When I found out recently that you could get Horlicks at Utopia, I was a little excited as the memories of Horlicks made by my ma-ma came flooding back to me. I thought it would be matched well with black sesame seed sago - so I placed my order. When I tried it, my head nearly exploded because it was da bomb! (hahaha sorry it's lame - but I couldn't resist). I tried it again the next time I went to Bubble Tea, but this time, I had it served warm instead - awesome move rowas.
Though it may be a FOB drink - I, a dinky-di-aussie-born-chinese, am proud to say that I LOVE HORLICKS!
