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.
