One of my earliest memories: going to buy coconuts from the back of a truck. Taking coconuts to the market. Having the coconut uncle crack them open, scraping out the flesh, pressing it into a milk. My mother making a delicious Peranakan style curry.
She and I have such different food tastes from our family. We love strong flavors, and anything with coconut milk. Our Teochew family mostly likes steamed food. I like both, because of her.
I also miss fresh coconut milk.

@skinnylatte I miss the Cambodian thing (dunno if rest of SE Asia does it too?) of just cutting a hole in a coconut and sticking a straw in

@skinnylatte I was just talking about this with my mom and a friend from Malaysia last night!
We were talking about the tool where you sit down and scrape the flesh of the coconuts lol. You just don't see that anywhere here.
I miss having fresh coconut milk and coconut water.
