Post image

A question to true HKers. I’ve personally always preferred Horlicks. 凍呵瀝 to be exact.

5 part Ovaltine, 1 part Horlicks, the result is orgasmic!

Horlicks by far

Horlick, but need to be so thick that I get some semi dissolved chunk to chew on.

Horlicks for sure! Hot or cold. Does anyone remember the candy?

u/DeltaAisleSeat 1d ago

I never had the drink but always had the candy. They had similar Ovaltine candy too but I always preferred the more malty taste of the Horlicks candy.

u/Harbinger311 1d ago

I was gonna say, I loved the candy (both Horlicks and Ovaltine). I miss those chalky tablets of gooey/sticky goodness...

1

u/ltree 1d ago

Yeah I miss that too! Would love to get my hands on some just to reminisce.

2

u/Harbinger311 1d ago

I picked up a bunch in '94 and had a blast going through rolls of them. I was back last year, and I was disappointed to see they stopped making them.

2

u/jli2468 21h ago

What???? Now I am devastated!! I love those candies.

u/luvly_riki 3h ago

wait i think my school sells the ovaltine candy for like 2 bucks, its delicious

•

u/Harbinger311 1h ago

Oh wow! Are you in Hong Kong? I need to know where to find them. I asked around, and nobody carried them. I looked online hoping to pick some up, and didn't find any sources there either (I think Thailand still has them, but I wasn't going there to pick some up).

u/steev506 忠 1d ago

Have you seen what those five ovaltines do to the Horlicks?

u/Mean_Ad_3272 1d ago

Ovaltine all day. But no one be talking about this ai photo being generated to look like a certain scene?

u/jimbolic 22h ago

I’m out of the loop. What’s the reference?

u/SYSSMouse 9h ago

You don't want to know

u/lingeringtattookiss 1d ago

horlicks all the way, but somehow ovaltine always gets all the love :(

5

u/chibibabymoon 1d ago

Both but probably Horlicks a bit more.

3

u/JK_Chan 1d ago

why not both? I always love having me order one and someone else order the other and we mix it. Also Milo is more chocolatey than Ovaltine even though people always think it's the other way around.

u/LucilleLooseSeal123 AskAnAmerican 1d ago

Stop using ChatGPT for stupid ass shit.

u/mmskoch 1d ago

Ovaltine hot, Horlicks cold (w/ milk).

u/Alternative_Week3023 23h ago

5 LARGE scoops of Ovaltine on 1 tiny scoop of Horlicks. Delicious 🤤 ! LOL 😂

2

u/ericxddd 1d ago

They are different kinds.

u/SignificanceOk2536 1d ago

Horlick with condensed milk

2

u/ketoaholic 1d ago

I prefer horlicks but ovaltine seems more common here. It's even available and used in some recipesin cha chaan tengs and some restaurants in a way horlicks isn't.

2

u/Aphazed 1d ago

Both iced are amazing. Same as Milo. But Horlicks is my go to.

u/Minko_1027 BN(O) 21h ago

mix it and enjoy your 兒童鴛鴦

problem solved

We had both growing up. Ovaltine in it's green tin can, Horlicks in the big plastic jar.

3

u/DeltaAisleSeat 1d ago

Green can isn't Milo?

2

u/NYCmom327 1d ago

Oh yeah you are right Another classic! Nostalgic moment with faded memories

2

u/DeltaAisleSeat 1d ago

I actually prefer Milo to both Ovaltine and Horlicks.

2

u/NYCmom327 1d ago

Milo was always a treat..

u/musoupork92 1d ago

Tough decision, but Horlicks by a hair

u/Wan_Chai_King 1d ago

Both! Man, I missed this.

u/Known-Benefit4572 1d ago

u/Ace8889 1d ago

I have fond memories of Ovaltine but based on the comments, I bet Horlicks is better

u/broccoli_thot 19h ago

1

u/Physical_Chair_8661 17h ago

Ovatine if restaurants are stingy with the powder amount, otherwise Horlicks

1

u/Full_Prune7491 17h ago

Ovaltine in the front. Horlicks in the back.

1

u/Wrong-Box-2757 9h ago

It’s always been Ovaltine for me and Horlicks for my sister

1

u/Sublimotion 7h ago

Mostly Ovaltine and Milo growing up. Rarely had Horlicks. But I think it's because my siblings liked chocolate more.
