UCC Special Blended Coffee Freeze Dried is regular ground coffee from UCC. The verdict? It is not much different from the regular ground coffee. The flavor is mild and there is nothing special about it.

UCC Special Blended Coffee retails at MYR 24.90 at Isetan KLCC. Also available at selected supermarkets.

UCC Café au Lait is yet another coffee drink from UCC. Sadly, Malaysia doesn’t have any UCC cafe, that’s why UCC canned drinks are the only way we can savor this great coffee from Japan.

Although UCC Café au Lait is a milk coffee, it has very strong coffee flavor. It’s not sweet at all and definitely not the type of coffee you would like to try if you’re not a coffee lover. Strictly for coffee lover.

UCC Café au Lait retails at MYR 5.99 at Mercato, Pavilion KL.

We all are familiar with UCC when it comes to gourmet coffee as its name is a household name in Japan and many other countries.

UCC Blended Coffee which can be purchased at Carrefour, Singapore for SGD $1.60 is yet another great coffee drink from UCC. It has distinctive and strong coffee flavor and you can easily tell it’s not a milk coffee. In fact, it uses skimmed milk and it’s made in Japan.

Recently, I saw a few coffee drinks from Isetan supermarket and decided to buy them. The name is French Café but I believed it’s made in Korea with all the Korean wordings on it. Some of the flavors include Caramel Macchiato, Cappuccino and Café au lait. There are at least a couple of other flavors.

The Cappuccino tastes quite strong with a deep and rich flavor. You can actually taste the aroma of the coffee despite the fact that it is a can version. It’s almost like a freshly-brewed coffee! Whereas Caramel Macchiato has a sweeter flavor than the others. While, Café au lait tastes like latte (au lait means latte in French), not bad at all. In English, it means milk coffee.

Definitely “must-buy” for coffee lovers.
