Ongrizinal Papaya Milk

Papaya is not cheap nowadays, it costs about RM3/kg…   

Yesterday, I came across papaya promotion at a local wholesale market, its only RM1.50/kg.  So I bought one.  Cost me about RM1.50.

Upon reaching home, I straightway cut the fruit originated from the tropics of Americas, and devoured half of it. 

Another half of it, I blend it with milk powder and some water… and voilà ! 2 big mugs of papaya milk.   The best drink in the heat of January night.

( Milk powder is the best alternative when fresh milk is no where to be found.  Its easily available, at least in my kitchen. )

Ongrizinal Papaya Milkshake 木瓜奶昔

Papaya milkshake is a very popular drink in S.E. Asia.   

To prepare papaya milk, just add papaya to a glass of milk and blend with a food processor.  The quantity and quality of papaya and milk are crucial in making a good papaya milkshake.   The right combination is often well guarded and kept secret.  It is not surprise some papaya milkshake can’t even pass own taste bud, while some manage to sell it franchise worldwide.

Well, for me, papaya milkshake is another way of having papaya and milk.  I don’t have fresh milk in my fridge, so I substitute with formula milk.  For a cup of milk, I put in 2 slice of papaya.  In case its too thick, adding more milk will just do.
