Kefir?


It was the first time ever I've heard the word Kefir.
more healthy bacterias and probiotic something ...

Sour-O-meter: not sour not sweet, just plain
top topping: nothing new
what I love: the interior is very nice. I love the purple couches. And the ice doesn't melt easily.
woohoo.

You'll find it in TERASKOTA, just a few steps from Aunty Li Kopitiam.

A Definition from Wiki

Kefir (alternately kefīrs, keefir, kephir, kewra, talai, mudu kekiya, milkkefir, búlgaros) is a fermented milk drink that originated in the Caucasus region. It is prepared by inoculating cow, goat, or sheep's milk with kefir grains. Traditional kefir was made in skin bags that were hung near a doorway; the bag would be knocked by anyone passing through the doorway to help keep the milk and kefir grains well mixed. Kefir grains are a combination of bacteria and yeasts in a matrix of proteins, lipids, and sugars. This symbiotic matrix forms grains that resemble cauliflower. Today, kefir is becoming increasingly popular due to new research into its health benefits. Many different bacteria and yeasts are found in the kefir grains, which are a complex and highly variable community of micro-organisms.

Good enough for me.
