Dalgona Coffee

[buffetlicious]

Newly launched, the Farmhouse White Chocolate Low Fat Flavoured Milk (S$3.73 per 946ml pack) brings a delicious and dreamy taste of winter wonderland to the tropical Singapore. Taking a sip, one can detect a whiff of vanilla-like white chocolate, complemented by the freshness of milk from Australia. Sis also bought the Cafe Latte Low Fat Coffee Flavoured Milk that is flavoured with Arabica coffee beans. The milk is thick with a nice fragrant of coffee plus it is low sugar and low fat to boot.

Paired the milk with a wedge of the White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake with Egg Yolk (美心蛋黄白莲蓉月饼) from Hong Kong MX Mooncakes (香港美心月饼). Still left with one mooncake to slowly savour and then I have to wait for another year to enjoy it again.
