   Living part time in a way less SE Asian town than my SF neighborhood means I have to use Trader Joe’s coconut milk.

   Not ideal, but at least it exists. (The good market with the ‘ethnic’ brands I prefer is 8 miles away in another city)

   Whenever I can, I use Chef’s Choice and Aroy D for coconut milk. Kara for Malaysian dishes if I find them but they are far less common over here.

   Of course every time I use coconut milk out of a can I’m annoyed I don’t have fresh ones. Bring some coconuts to a guy in a market, and have him cut it and make the coconut milk on the spot.

     @skinnylatte My market always has the Aroy D and then random ones that I don't have a clue about.

     @specialcase for some other coconut products (there’s a desiccated coconut thing I swear I can’t get fresh or dry on this side of the world) that’s much better frozen. Same with curry leaves etc

     @skinnylatte Do you ever use frozen over canned?
