As a traditional brand of coconuts, “Hong Heng Cocos” has much deeper understanding of coconuts than most of the people, as well as the best and most suitable way to deal with coconuts, since it has rich experiences! The owner said that all coconut foods in his store use coconuts from Malaysia, which is not too big, but the coconut meat is much thicker than ordinary coconuts with strong coconut taste. Coconuts from Malaysia are already delicous enough even no extra sugar or seasoning are added.
