Pediasure vs Sustagen

Audrey is taking Pediasure choc flavor milk currently. She only likes choc flavor and refused to drink other than that. Not too long ago, she complained that the milk we mixed for her had one kind of smell and she refused to drink it. We tried to smell it and really, we could feel very little odd smell (like "chao yao yik"-cantonese) on the mixed milk. However we still forced her to drink the milk as we thought not a big deal, we may able to eliminate the smell by mixing more hot instead of warm water. No choice, she consumed it with a “long” face …… drinking half way, she felt like vomit. Poor gal….

The next and following night, the smell getting worst so I told hubby to send it back to the shop since the milk powder was just purchased few days back. Luckily the shop that we used to purchase our milk powder was very generous and exchanged a new tin of milk to us after our explanation. The shopkeeper even agreed that child has a very sensitive tongue than adult. They could immediately sense even with just a slight different of taste on their food. Upon receiving the new tin of milk powder, we opened it on the spot and let’s our little inspector carried out the smell test. Quality checked and passed.

Later on, we found out that the milk powder shall be consumed within 2 weeks once open. Alamak, Audrey takes more than 3 weeks to finish one tin. So we decided to try other brands which might not have this restriction. Not many brands of milk powder have choc flavor, I could only think of Sustagen. But to my disappointment, they don’t have choc flavor sample milk powder for testing. Ai ya...headache la.
