Boringchap Turbocharged January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 We bought this for $9.50 from NTUC - Tesco brand 2L ice-cream that was made in UK. Turned out to be horrible. Not sure what happened to it. Just to share with you. My helper said that it looked and tasted like expired cheese! but it certainly wasn't expired. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 Don't buy those golden skin honey pomelo from China too. The fibre looks and feel very strange from those of citrus fruits we normally see. It's fluffy instead of fibrous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury1 Turbocharged January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 When I was in the UK I bought back some pork ribs from UK to make BKT (also under Tesco brand), open the packet got this gone bad smell (was like wtf), next day went back kao peh got a new one open at home still same smell. Next time bought some sainsbury the meat smelt fresh. Then on rule out Tesco's for meat products. We bought this for $9.50 from NTUC - Tesco brand 2L ice-cream that was made in UK.

Count-Bracula Twincharged January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 I would say it is more of a transportation problem from warehouse to the sales outlets. I often see goods, both perishables and non-perishables (spelling correct?) being left outside the storeroom for a long while before being brought in to the coldroom. Sub standard way of handling foodstuff. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 (edited) could be shoppers change mind, anyhow put instead of putting back at the freezer area. Then staff see put it back. By then... Seen so many perishables abused this way. I would say it is more of a transportation problem from warehouse to the sales outlets.

Watwheels Supersonic January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 I encounter this before buying other brand of ice cream from NTUC too. I believe is handling/transportation issue that caused the ice-cream to melt entirely inbetween the journey and it's being re-frozen. That's why it's in such a bad state. After such experience I have never bought ice-cream from NTUC ever again. I buy from other supermarkets instead. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just cannot be that a big brand name like TESCO has sub-standard ice-cream (unless there was a product batch flaw or something). I bought the NTUC brand ice-cream from the same NTUC outlet before and it was ok. So I don't know also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix0405 5th Gear January 17, 2016 Share January 17, 2016 Most ice cream here have palm oil as main ingredient...ntuc ice cream use milk solids.. Expert. Now many brand use the cheapest main ingredient, vegetable oil (palm, coconut .. ) instead of milk to make ice-cream. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boringchap Turbocharged January 17, 2016 Author Share January 17, 2016 (edited) not shaped liked Dildo tsk tsk.... That said, the mention of Potong ice-cream reminded me of this. See the video. Starz restaurant buffet at Resorts World Sentosa. This was sometime back in 2014. Edited January 17, 2016 by Boringchap ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
