It tastes just like Milo cubes, but in tablet form. However, one large bag is quite small, so if you like it, buy two large bags to really enjoy it.

A little disappointed with this one. The first time i ordered this product, it really got a tamarind taste. That is why I ordered again… but this one, i think is more of sugar than tamarind… I’m sorry…
