Tough Thick Coconut

On Tuesday 14.july.2026, we took a quick breakfast at a nearby eatery before going to foc job for a 9.30 am appointment. After that, went to eat brunch at Nam Heong pinnacle condo Sri Petaling and bought groceries from the supermarket there.

Once back 🏠 he wanted to drink the coconut 🥥 juice from the coconut he bought from the supermarket and discovered that the husk of this particular coconut 🥥 is too thick so the manufacturer of the device that was fixed on the coconut didn't even get near the coconut 🥥 shell to puncture the coconut shell aka tempurung to get to the coconut 🥥 juice aka coconut 🥥 water inside. There is no way that the both of us could wack the coconut 🥥 with a knife 🔪 to get to the coconut 🥥 juice so he sighed and said, just write off this coconut 🥥 that costs between MYR 8 to MYR 9 but I thought of an idea 💡 to salvage the situation.

We implemented my idea 💡 and got to drink the coconut 🥥 juice from this tough coconut 🥥. Also got to eat durians too 😋 

My idea 💡:
Both of us walk to the nearby fruit shed and buy one coconut and durian from this fruit shed and then seek their help to cut open our coconut 🥥 for us.

Result:
The fruit shed people are kind so they did cut open our coconut 🥥 for us 👍🏻 😊 so we didn't need to throw an unopened coconut 🥥 away.

11.37 am - this new sourdough bread is tasty 😋 according to him as he ate it toasted with olive oil spread because it has orange peel so he could taste it as if he is eating marmalade.

*** Thick husk Coconut ***

This photo is from online Coco Fairy website. He bought this Coco Fairy coconut MYR 8 to MYR 9 from pinnacle condo supermarket but the Coconut 🥥 husk is too thick and the plastic device on top didn't get to puncture the coconut 🥥 shell in order for us to get to drink the coconut 🥥 water aka coconut 🥥 juice.

  1. Dear Mun, I love sweet potatoes. 😋 I also like coconut but I have only had coconut in sparkling water with pineapple. I have also had cookies with milk chocolate, marshmallows and coconut 🥥 😋

  2. You are so clever! The fruit seller was only too happy to help since you bought coconut and durians. Plus point - got durians to eat due to coconut shell too hard :D I have phobia for coconut water because my partner made me drink one coconut everyday when I was down with chicken pox years ago. LOL! The house clearing I can understand as we tend to collect stuff over the years. I am doing a systematic decluttering at home so that at the end of my journey, there won't be much to clear.

    1. Thank you for your compliment 😊
      Aiya, so now you cannot stand coconut any more? I think I can drink one coconut 🥥 every day 😁
      Good that you are doing decluttering systematically to save your partner from having to go through your things if you happen to go first.
