Last Packet of Promina

During our recent trip to Bali in May 2008, Julian decided that he did not want to eat the chicken cereal we brought along for him from Penang *pull hair*. Fortunately, the Matahari supermarket was just a 10-minute walk from the hotel where we stayed. So, we bought a variety of Promina and Sun brand cereals and instant porridge. We found that some of these were in convenient packets of one serving each - ideal for travelling and eating out.

They had interesting flavours too such as strawberry and apple, banana and strawberry, chocalate, banana and milk, and even Swiss chocolate. For the instant porridge (these did not require cooking - just add water!), Julian tried beef and brocolli, and chicken and corn.

Before we left Bali, we decided that we'd stock up on these lovely cereals and instant porridge. Unbeknownst to us, Papa also bought some. So, besides our clothes and toiletries, we had our suitcase stuffed full with sachets of cereals and instant porridge!

On our return, we discovered that Promina cereals are not available in Malaysia (the same company makes instant noodles which, incidentally, are available here). Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. On 9 August 2008, Julian had the last sachet of Promina cereal we brought back from Bali *sob, sob*.
