New Fav

You know I like to keep you in the loop with new things I am eating/drinking...little indulgences. Here is a new one for you. It's a Korean Soda and it is DELISH!! It is called Milkis. The name is a little off-putting as I absolutely hate milk and so was a bit tentative to drink what could potentially be a "milky soda". I had no reason to fear; it is tasty. Very tasty.

I read about this soda on a blog of a woman who went to Korea with her return missionary husband and really enjoyed drinking this beverage. She described it as tasting kind of like a 7-UP and vanilla ice cream float that has melted but without being thick and creamy. I was intrigued. I happen to love 7-UP and vanilla ice cream floats especially when I am sick. It is one of the only things that tastes good to me.

I am a regular at my local Asian Market and have never seen it. Yesterday I was there and bemoaning that they don't have this drink. Tyler suggested (wisely) that we go to the Korean Market and see if they had it there. (Why didn't I think of that...I've been looking for it for over a year.) We drove over to the little Korean Market and I hopped out and ran in the door. I asked the nice woman if they carried a soda called Milkis. Her smile beamed about a mile wide and she enthusiastically pointed me towards the coolers. Our market offered three flavors: melon (no thanks!), original, and strawberry. I bought 2 original and 2 strawberry. I hopped back in the car and had my human guinea pig (Tyler) give it a taste. He pronounced it delicious and slurped it down. After finding out that it wasn't necessarily "milk-like" I gave it a swig. YUM. It is carbonated and creamy tasting without being creamy. Kind of cool. Tyler popped the top on the strawberry one and that one was delicious as well. I brought one home for the kids to taste and they loved it too. Today for "Fun Food Friday" (our little family tradition we have: the kids get to go get a treat after school on Fridays if they have been on time for school etc.) guess what they have picked out as their treat...yep...Milkis.

Go find one and enjoy!!

You're Welcome!!
