What is MILO? Well, according to the web
"Milo is added to hot or cold milk to give it a malted chocolate flavour and extra texture. When combined with cold milk, it retains the gritty texture of its raw state. Milo can be stirred into steamed milk or hot water to create something similar to hot chocolate or cocoa. Sugar can be added to the milo beverage, but many people enjoy it without the addition of sweeteners, appreciating it for its subtle chocolate flavour. Another possible use is making a normal cup of cold Milo and microwaving it for approximately 40-60 seconds. This gives the Milo drink a biscuity cover on top"
According to me.. well it is pointless!
Anyway, my thoughts aside, MILO is everywhere in Australia. There is the original milk drink powder, the special make your kids smart milk powder (see below), MILO Breakfast cereal, MILO snack bars, MILO chocolate bars, MILO Ice Cream, MILO clothing range, and many many more MILO branded products.
Below, are two shots of a "Cold Milk Milo" - can you guess which one has had the MILO stirred in? (left hand glass)
Anyway, it seems pointless, it doesn't add a whole heck of a lot of flavour to the milk, and the "biscuity top" would be better off, as a just a biscuit.. perhaps a Tim Tam (coming soon!).

since that i am working with malaysia nestle and one of the product that i sell is milo. Base on your pic, its show that milo cannot dissolve in cold milk. The best way to do it use a hot milk and than pour in some ice in it. no sugar pls because in malaysia we will add in condense milk. Anyway nice to read your blog. from zainal2008.blogspot.com
