Soya has a high protein content and is rich in vitamins, minerals and fibres. It plays an important part in the function of bones, heart and arteries.
Ginger is good for appetite loss, indigestion and motion sickness; it can combat nausea and vomiting including motion sickness. It has also been taken to loosen phlegm, relieve gas and
ease menstrual and arthritis pain.
The easiest way to consume soya and ginger is by drinking ginger soya milk.
In Singapore, soya milk is easily accessible - from hawker centres, food courts, cafes, chinese restaurants and standalone kiosks. The last is dominated by two major brands - Mr Bean and Jollibean. And they are the only ones that offer ginger soya milk.
I've tried both. Each has its good and not so good areas. For those who have a sweet tooth, go for Mr Bean's. The ginger comes in liquid form with sugar already added. The concoction is tangily sweet and thick with a lingering after-taste.
For those of us who prefer less sugar or even none (like myself), opt for Jollibean's. The ginger powder is added into the soya milk only when you order. The final touch is sugar liquid and you can always say 'less' or 'no sugar'. Due to the ginger powder, the Jollibean's version may taste powdery if the seller did not mix and blend the ginger powder thoroughly into the milk - a small inconvenience compared to unnecessary calories.
