Thai Product Review: Lactosoy SOYMILK Extra300 Original

Disclaimer: Pricing information for reviews of this nature are done differently to restuarant menu item reviews, as prices can vary for all sorts of reasons; because of this the price is listed as 'what it cost me' instead of 'what the price is'.

Cost: 63 Baht for 6x 300ml juice boxes

Purchasing notes:
Available all over Thailand, as it seems to be the country's leading brand. Other variants (including unsweetened) are available.

Lets just start with the ingredients:
"Soymilk (Water and Soybean) 89.2%, Sugar 7.0%, Whole Milk Powder 2.0% [et cetera]".

I'm pointing this out just so that you understand that this is not a lactose or dairy free item. It contains milk, but is mostly soy milk.

Only purchase this item if you want soy milk for its flavour, not as a dairy alternative. (I did not notice until I'd tried one, so I was quite bothered.)

Speaking to that, it tastes like a sweetened soy milk, being fairly thin but still opaque, and is quite flavourful. I think it might be over-sugared, but I'm not generally all that into (non-chocolate) sweets.

The price is affordable for how many you get, assuming that you plan on simply drinking them and not using it in cereal, for instance (this is less of a problem if bought in larger bottle form, which I believe is available).

I think it tastes nice, I just wish it didn't have lactose in it. I suppose, with that name, that is the gimmick...
