(almost daily) soybean milk
Probably around once every two or three days, a house-to-house soymilk seller comes to my house. He will park his bicycle outside and greet with the Islamic greeting, using a semi-loud voice, “Assalamu’alaikum!”, to inform the people inside the house that he has arrived.
The milks are sold in small transparent plastics with vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate as its flavors. The one pictured above is the chocolate flavor.
I like this drink, so I usually buy one and in no time drink it all. You drink it by biting one of the plastic’s pointed edge and sucking the inside from it. I usually wash the plastic beforehand, just to make things ultra hygiene. And no, you won’t ever get a milk sucking picture in this blog.
I don’t mind what taste it is, so I just pick any random one. My smallest brother don’t like it.
My father, or probably my mother, once made it when we were in Thailand. Ah, speaking of Thailand, of course the best milk is Thailand’s tea milk, chayen! Have you ever tasted it?
I just found out that in Japanese, it is called 豆乳 (tounyuu). The first character means “bean” and the second one means “milk”. Bean milk. In Indonesia it is “susu kedelai”, with “susu” being “milk” and “kedelai” “soybean”. Yeah, we have twisted grammar.
Drink milk, be healthy :)!
