Ive noticed Tesco do their Finest brand which is a lovely strong one too!

YT is from Uganda so maybe we just need to find a similar blend.

I wonder what the consequences of bring Yorkshire Teabags with us would be???

Yorkshire Tea instead of possessions then KL

lol I have taken different stuff over to my husband each time that he misses I think though once we are both out there I will try all the local brands to see what we like best. My daughters favourite hot chocolate is Tesco value she prefers that to even the most expensive so will have to take that over in bulk for when she visits. il try all the tea bags til I find the ones I like best. I think that's half the fun trying all the new things its just the odd wee thing that will be needed for creature comforts

If you like tea that much, do pay a visit to the Cameron Highlands.

The tea garden at the hill top offers a beautiful view of the tea farm below.

Just avoid going there during school holidays or public holidays.

oh thanks Roy I will try to do that this summer

You can get Farmhouse, which is fresh milk from Australia. Pura, also from Australia. Farm Fresh which is from Johor (yes they have cows in Malaysia).

A lot of the local milk is reconstituted from milk powder.

Not sen Yorkshire tea anywhere, but they stock PG tips and Tetley in Mercato.

AS for Milk. We usually use Good morning, Dutch Lady and Farm fresh bought from Village Grocer or Tesco.

I'm a tea drinking Northerner too so I can appreciate how important this mixture can be!

That will be the taste problem then! It always tastes different.

Thanks for the tea tips. Creature comforts - yes Nicola - I'm just glad Tesco will be there for some things. But With me, hubbie and two under 16 there will be lots of shopping and trying. Luckily the fussy one can live one boiled rice and coffee!

Only 144 days...

ah its nice to see a few of us in the same boat. I havn't started counting the days yet im breaking it into stages out at easter then summer for 3 weeks then the big move in September So glad there are more options for milk for our tea cos when you get it right its just the perfect ahhh moment

I still prefer saying 20 weeks on Sunday rather than the days Lou! I've also checked that I can get Nespresso pods!

As above, we get FArm Fresh or Goodday, both fresh milk and both Malaysian cows!

On a side note, one of the first things that struck us when we moved here was the severe lack of great dairy products. The range is so limited. A Malaysian friend mentioned it was due to the locals lactose intolerance. Guess this is why they substitute with Soya milk.

Farm Fresh with the orange top is the best I've found so far, also Dilmah tea makes a good brew from my few weeks experience here. I also found a jar of Marmite yesterday. All this said I am embracing the local food as much as I can, I have had more chicken and rice than I can count already.

Ah yes, plenty of marmite in both Tesco and Cold Storage
