Any fresher you’ll have got to squeeze it yourself ;p
What, you may ask??
THIS!
You would have thought we would be stuffed from all that hawker indulgence…yet en route to our homes, the 4 of us stopped at this stall.
Where?
Easy, at the Air Itam market. Just right opposite the famous AIR ITAM LAKSA.
Only open at night.
As usual, it’s Ken, the food master’s (or monster) hehehe.. recommendation. Trust him to find all the hide y-holes of superb old-school favourites.
Frothy, rich, creamy, fragrant, smooth and tummy warming fresh, fresh, fresh nutritious elixir!
See the heavy bronze pot used? No cheap alum or stainless steel here. It is said that the bronze retains the flavour better..
I was wayyyy too stuffed to order one of my own, but if I do, I’ll definitely add an egg! (Better than egg with Stout I tell you!)
Choices: Just milk or milk with milo.
Here the 3 of them ordered the milo version.
So he starts with the milo, then the milk.
Next is the sugar. DO opt to add an egg for extra booster …adds to the aroma too!
Stir baby, stir! Vigorously too..
Puuulllllllllllll………… (masuk angin a bit/trap some air) .. LOL.
I mean, that’s where the “lightness” comes from no?
Concentrate sikit.. angle must be right you see…symmetrical as well..
Tariikkkkkkkkkk………….
Allocate into the glasses.. see the nice froth on top?
This stall sells nasi lemak too. Imagine, a steaming hot glass of milo with FULL cream milk and fragrant nasi lemak…sighh..
Since I was so stuffed, I didn’t order & instead took a sip from Ken’s glass.
Ohhhh….REALLY wished I hadn’t eaten sooooo much just now!!. A most satisfying glass of brew…wished I could have had a whole glass to myself..but alas..my stomach doesn’t expand as well at night. Day time yes.
Finally satiated, we literally crawled back to the car….
Hey ..are you free on april 4th? Let me know on email eatfirstthinklater[at]gmail[dot]com
one of the best milk drink I ever indulge in, drink at a very dark terrace and yet can be so romantic at Ayer Itam, Penang’s best of the best! A thumbs up!

the dancing milk-pulling man!
i love my teh susu lembu or nescafe susu lembu, so this should be RIGHT UP MY ALLEY! but Ayer Itam at night … aiyo, like out of the way only?
I try the milk before and it tastes really great. Comes to think of it…. it’s been a while I did not visit the stall already. Should make a trip there soon. lol
The bronze or copper? pot inspired confidence! I love it straight with its freshy creamy goodness. No Milo please.

Exactly like this one… no, we don’t have it here in Indonesia. We have teh tarik but very seldom and they don’t really do the tarik-tarik thing… actually more like instant tea tarik….
Would really like to try out the drink from this stall 🙂
Would really like to try out this drink 🙂
CK: helo! U mean u didnt know abt this plc? Do go n try!
During those clubbing days (ahem) on that island wayyyy back (ahem) then, this used to be our supper but at Lorong Tandas (whataname!), Penang Road. TQ for the memories rush. High.

vialentino:darn…
sc: ohh yesss.. ;p
i tried the gu leng before and the ah neh knows how to speak hokkien and somemore very fluency.
This type of stalls are quite abundant in Penang. I can still remember my childhood days when I get my fresh milk from one Indian man on a bike with a big brass container at the back. I don’t see them as often as I did before.
Hmmm… he did not have those with ginger? I love that a lot. 🙂

criz: ya lorr..miss those old indian men! ohh..mayb he does? we didnt ask..but i suspect it may be the powder ginger instead of fresh.
anyways u owe me a trip to the Traders Hotel tang yuen!!
did you say there’s an egg in the milo??? how fascinating!!!!!! looks like a sinfully rich glass of milo….
