Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between coconut milk and coconut cream? A: Coconut milk is thinner and lighter than coconut cream, with a lower fat content. It's ideal as a cooking base for curries, soups, and rice dishes. Coconut cream is thicker and richer, better suited for desserts or when you want a more indulgent, creamy result.

Q: Is Chaokoh Coconut Milk suitable for vegans? A: Yes — coconut milk is 100% plant-based and naturally dairy-free, making it suitable for vegan and lactose-intolerant diets. It's one of the most popular dairy milk alternatives in cooking.

Q: Can I drink Chaokoh Coconut Milk straight from the can? A: Chaokoh Coconut Milk is primarily a cooking ingredient rather than a drinking milk. While it is safe to consume directly, it is much richer and more concentrated than carton coconut milk designed for drinking. It's best used in cooked dishes, smoothies, or diluted with water.

Q: Why does my coconut milk separate in the can? A: Separation is completely natural — the thicker cream rises to the top while the liquid settles below. Simply shake the can well before opening, or stir to recombine. This is a sign of a quality, additive-free product.

Q: Where can I buy Chaokoh Coconut Milk in South Africa? A: Order Chaokoh Coconut Milk 400ml online at Fab Asian Food — South Africa's trusted Asian grocery store with fast nationwide delivery.
