We’ve gotten it from a few vendors over the months, like from Queen Vic market, Footscray, and most recently yesterday in Springvale Central.

My wife otherwise thinks they’re all not fresh - it lacks the taste of when the young coconut is opened freshly chopped down from the tree. I thought it’s so sweet it’s almost artificial.

In my wife’s home town home we have a rather large heavy knife. A few well placed hits is all it takes to get the water.
