I recall, during my childhood days, my parents loved making frequent lunch trips from Ang Mo Kio to Selegie House where a famous Indian curry stall used to be. I was not a fan of curry then so I always got to pack along a hot dog while I watched my folks indulge in their curry chicken and finger-licking good crabs. But of course, this arrangement didn't last long. Now, I love my curries and can't live without them!
Years later, after I got married, I began to wonder what made curries so delicious and extremely appetizing. There were many things I was going to learn from my mom, since I had already moved out. I wanted to cook for my husband. (I had zero knowledge of cooking at the age of 26) So she told me the key ingredient that made everything so flavorful was coconut milk.
Don't be mistaken. I'm not against coconut milk at all. It was just the thought of consuming too much of it, especially when I love savoring the gravy, convinced me that it will not be too good for my weight in the long run! No. Am not a health freak. I love good food! But I try to make informed choices whenever possible.
Then, a few weeks ago, Greenfields milk came a'knocking and sent some of their milk products for the family to try. My first thoughts were - "aren't most fresh milk just about the same?" To which I found out that they are indeed different, living up to their label of 'honest milk' - with no additives, chemicals, hormones or antibiotics - now that is really something commendable!
