Have you had some Horlicks lately? The last time I had some Horlicks candy (like Ovaltinees) was when Prunee brought some to the house. I have not had the drink in ten years.
Tey, C, and I were looking for an after lunch tea place on Friday and we ended up at the Golden Island Cafe. We were browsing through the menu, oggling over the fruit drinks and desserts, when we saw a familiar drink. Horlicks!
What is Horlicks? In some countries, like the Philippines, Horlicks was sold as milky-chocolate-flavored disks in paper packets, which were then eaten as candy. Horlicks is manufactured in the UK and promoted as a malted milk hot drink claimed to promote sleep.
