If you know me well enough, I've grown up with this drink from the moment I learned to walk and open the fridge. Obviously I wasn't able to obtain it back during my school days on a certain island, but whenever I was back at my grandparents' place during the holidays, I'd have to have at least 2-3 bottles everyday. Boy, was I ecstatic when I was able to find Yakult in the supermarket during my university days. And of course, being in Singapore also means I can have easy access to the drink, even though they do have some weird flavours in some of them, namely apple, orange and grape. (I still say the original's the best.)

Even now, the habit remains: as soon as I walk in the front door whenever I visit grandma, after dropping my bag and jacket on some sofa, I would go and wash my hands in the bathroom and open the fridge to help myself to a bottle of Yakult. Always in that order. Guess it says something about me huh...

For those of you who've never heard or seen it before, it's a probiotic drink developed by the Japanese made by fermenting skimmed milk with a dose of Lactobacillus casei bacterium, which is "good bacteria" that's "good for your gut".
