Clover Milk in Shanghai

Being on holiday in Taiwan at the moment one of the pleasant things about staying here for a month has been the quality of the milk which is drinkable. Mainland Chinese milk, if it doesn’t kill you, invariably tastes dreadful being all UHT and usually a mixture of liquid milk and powder combined. But perhaps it wasn’t always so – in the 1930s you could pop along to Clover Milk on the Bubbling Well Road (Nanjing West Road) for Grade A pasteurised or chocolate milk – sounds good to me. Long gone though so soon it’s back to rotten old Yili or Guangming for me.
