Weirdest Q ever: Egg beaters in Asia?

I know this is a strange thing to ask, but do they sell egg beaters in grocery stores throughout Asia? Also, what sort of milk products do they have? Do they vary with whole, semi-skimmed and skim milk? I have to follow a very specific diet unfortunately and am hoping I will be pleasantly surprised at the availability of Western food in grocery stores, as painful as it is to have to travel through these great culinary centres and stick to Yankee fare--

Thanks!

Throughout Asia? Where are you planning to go. Which country, and are you sticking in the large cities?

Omelettes are big in Japan, so I expect that they have egg beaters.

Maybe you mean Egg Beaters, not egg beaters. The brand name:

in which case, I would expect the answer to be no, but I don't know for sure.

Or one can always buy eggs and throw away the yolk.

One thing that I've noticed in Hong Kong is that skim milk cost more than full milk, opposite the situation here in the US.

Someone save me...why do posters ask a specific question about "Asia"? Asia is huge.

PLEASE tell us exactly where you will be as in the name of the country, cities within the country. It can make a huge difference as to whether or not you will get a meaningful answer.

The above advice is the best - just skip them. Problem solved!

<i>I have to follow a very specific diet unfortunately</i>

As well as saying where in Asia you might get more help if you explained what you can and cannot eat.

See OP's other recent question about doing a yoga experience in Asia.

It's speculation, but sandy/shoeman seems to have been reincarnated as inplaster!

Egg beaters. Things to beat eggs. Would this be something like a fork?

I love this post. Please come back, inplaster, whoever you are. I want to travel with you.

Wow, sorry to offend so readily by my use of the term &quot;Asia&quot;, I do realise how broad and ridiculous this is an apologise. I will be in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, so SE Asia is what I meant. I will stop posting all my ridiculous questions now and just go on the trip and see-

If you have a &quot;very specific diet&quot; then plan to designate one suitcase to packable food items from home.
