Milo is widely available in both NZ and Australia. I've never thought of it as an asian drink!

I must admit to not knowing beforehand what a Milo Dinosaur is . A quick internet search describes this beverage as a cup/glass of Milo with undiluted Milo powder sprinkled on top.

I dont know about SQ, but whenever I request for a hot chocolate on MH I am always served a cup of Milo with undiluted powder sprinkled on top. Does it mean I have been getting Milo Dinosaur all these while

It's not a decorative sprinkle, but rather a generous scoop of milo.

Then there's Milo Godzilla which is the dinosaur plus a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Some places top it off with whipped cream.

Haha, I do apologise for not explaining what a Milo dinosaur is. But to me, Dinosaur is heaven, because I absolutely enjoy eating Milo powder (besides drinking it). I've tried doing my own Milo dinosaur using a pint glass. About 3 packets of instant Milo 3-in-1 is used. That is a lot of Milo powder!

Maybe one day the SQ FAs will put down on their list of "passengers' weird request" - a cup full of Milo powder!

Thanks for the clarification and link. Though I have spent a good number of years across the causeway, I havent been updating myself with the latest Singaporean creations. Guess I am quite a dinosaur in this respect , will order my glass of T-Rex on my next visit

And how many trillion times over does the Godzilla have in terms of the US RDA for calorie intake ?

Mmmm, perhaps those of us with the opportunity (unlike myself) should ask in the lounge for a Milo Godzilla made with a scoop of Fauchon.

Hmmm.... A Dinosaur would be about 500kCal, I reckon... Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, maybe 800kCal?

Dear all, meet Milo Dinosaur: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/p/m/22fe01 (though I prefer him with a heap of Milo!)

Actually there're more variations of Milo than just Milo Dinosaur and Milo Godzilla.
