arnold40844 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Having been through at least 4 brands over the last few months I'm still unable to find a decent reasonably priced muesli in Thailand. Back In the UK I used to buy Dorset Muesli, I have seen it here in several stores but the price is just insane especially when you are going through a couple of boxes a week. A lot of the others I have tried are just way to sweet, they are possibly doing this to appeal to the Thai sweet tooth. Any suggestions from fellow muesli connoisseurs would be much appreciated. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold40844 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Its a fair point.. I like ones with malted grains, so malted wheat, rye, oats. I am sure I can find these ingredients here but certainly not in my local Big C. I may just buy organic oats and malt and toast them myself!

AnotherOneAmerican Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 For the grains, If you have a "YOK" store near you they sell everything. Rimping would be my second choice, they have it but more expensive. Tops is also an ingredient contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold40844 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Thank you. I had not heard of YOK, will find my nearest and check it out today if I can get to one. It was the last straw today when I bought a Swiss muesli from Foodland and founnd it super sweet, at over 250 THB, I find it very annoying.

arnold40844 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Cheers, had a look on their site I may struggle with flaked rye and wheat.For multi-grain muesli I may have to shop around a bit if im going to make my own.

Ulysses G. Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 There is one imported brand with fruit and nuts that is cheaper than any other - even local brands. I just mix it with cheap rolled outs to make it even less expensive and it still tastes fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold40844 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Which brand is that McGarret? Also what Thai brands are you refering to?

Bunter Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 At Tesco there is a good muesli dry fruit mix 1kg for 185 baht. Bought it a couple of weeks ago. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it is McGarret, but am not positive - maybe Hahne? I'm not sure of the Thai brands, but one is called something like "Chunky Monkey" and it tastes great and has very good ingredients, but is not inexpensive compared to some of the imports.

Robby nz Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Tesco Swiss style muesli is the one I get. Cheaper than all the others and good. I find muesli hard going on its own and mix it with corn flakes with a banana on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isanbirder Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Makro make their own brand of muesli, 164 per kg in Buriram. Hahne is 149, but I don't like it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't consider myself a connoisseur if I had only tried four brands in a few months considering he eats it like a horse. Again whether it's that bottle of Petrus, Cherries, Marmite or whatever.

chiang mai Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 If you can find it, check out the "Lowans" brand for oatmeal and muesli, the quality of their product is first rate and it's really cheap, one month of breakfast oatmeal costs me 150 baht (I bought the last three bags from Rimping two days ago Their Muesli is equally as healthy etc.and is highly recommended, difficult to find some times.

schondie Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 As other posters have advised (for some reason I cannot use the quote option tonight), the wife just bought a 1kg bag of Tesco Swiss style for 160 baht and it looks pretty decent for the cost. The 185 baht bag is the Hahne brand from Germany. Either way, buy a few extra dried fruits and some extra nuts and Bob's your uncle. Making your own is the cheapest and best option as long as you can find some decent dried fruit. We don't live in a big city like CM so our choices are extremely limited as the cost of the dried fruit cancels out any savings of mixing it with the cheap rolled oats.

No benefits in using dried fruit. Fresh fruit is better. The Bircher Benner Swiss recipe I posted the link for, all fresh fruit. Onece you have the rolled oats, you can make it from items found in any Thai market. 1 tablespoon rolled oats 3 tablespoons of water 1 tablespoon cream yoghurt/milk 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon fresh lemon lime juice 1 apple, unpeeled and grated 1 tablespoon berries Edited June 1, 2014 by AnotherOneAmerican Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
