Past participants and winners of the Cabaran Raja Tarik F&N agree that the competition has not only helped elevate the status teh tarik in Malaysia; it has helped Malaysians develop greater appreciation for the perfect glass of teh tarik made with the right ingredients, namely F&N Sweetened Creamer.
