Review for Pot O Gold Coconut Cream & Milk – Purchased from Red Star Wholesale (January 2025)
Absolutely revolting! I bought 2 tins each of Pot O Gold Coconut Cream and Milk in January this year from Red Star Wholesale. I used the coconut cream in a mango tart – fresh mangoes, cream cheese, tennis biscuit base... the works! But the result? Disgusting. The tart tasted like someone poured OMO liquid detergent into the mix. I was convinced I’d made a mistake. The entire dessert – and all those good ingredients – straight into the bin. Still doubting myself, I later used the coconut milk in a savoury dish – chicken à la king with fresh chicken breast, spinach, mushrooms, and a variety of vegetables. Guess what? Same thing. It stank. The dish was inedible. I checked the expiry dates both times – clearly marked January 2026, so freshness shouldn’t have been an issue. It’s now clear the product itself is the problem. I wasted two home-cooked meals and a lot of time, effort, and money. Checkers, please – DO BETTER. This is unacceptable. Sies, man.

Pot O Gold Coconut cream
Absolutely disgusting. Bought 3 cans of coconut cream months apart and they all tasted like mould. Ruined 2 good curries and a mushroom sauce, it was inedible. Checkers should remove them as a brand.

Green beans from China...
I bought a tin of Pot o Gold Whole Green beans (Choice grade!) recently to make Three Bean Salad. It is specially packed for Checkers. Absolutely disgusting, unappetizing. It is brown, some with pink flecks, some so tough it cant be eaten. What a waste of money. The BB date is 5/26... still 2 years to go. Product of China..... Surely there are better produce locally??
