Not that I profess to be a great cook, but I have noticed that some
coconut milk is more flavorful than others. Of course, in Hawaii, we
probably have more choices, but my SO inadvertently bought some tinned
coconut milk that was thin and watery and quite unflavorful. Then I
went back to the basic local brand of frozen coconut milk (Mendoncas)
and it was far far better. Mendoncas was thick and white and smelled
like real coconut when I opened the can.

I think you recipe sounds delicious, btw.

aloha,
