DO YOU recall the fragrant aroma of rendang during Hari Raya? Or the rich flavours of spice-tinged mee kari ayam? And that comforting bowl of silky, velvety smooth bubur jagung ?
The common thread in these beloved dishes is coconut milk.
For generations, it has infused our traditional treats with rich, creamy, and subtly sweet flavours, becoming an essential part of our culinary heritage.
Whether for a regular dinner, a healthy indulgence, or a celebratory feast, every bite is a cherished coconut milk moment.
Malaysian staple
Ayam Brand – a trusted companion in Malaysian kitchens for more than 132 years, has been producing top quality coconut milk for decades.
Void of preservatives, colouring and flavouring, each drop of its coconut milk is expertly squeezed from the finest, ripened coconuts in a safe, hygienic way before it is sealed in convenient tetra packs using cutting-edge Ultra High Temperature (UHT) technology.
This ensures that you get that same fresh-from-the-coconut flavour, minus the fuss of doing it yourself.
Ayam Brand Coconut Milk is packed in tetra packs, making it quick and convenient.
You can elevate your cooking with Ayam Brand to suit any preference. For a rich, authentic flavour, choose Ayam Brand Classic Coconut Milk, available in 200ml (RM3) or the one-litre pack (RM11.90).
If you're after a healthier option, go for Ayam Brand Trim Coconut Milk, which offers the same coconut goodness with 45% less fat, also available in 200ml (RM3).
For a lighter, refreshing twist, the Ayam Brand Super Light Coconut Milk—made with only 5% fat and enhanced with coconut water—is perfect, available in 330ml (RM3.60).
With just the right consistency for every dish, it delivers a balanced texture that's never too thick, too creamy, or overwhelming to your taste buds.
Fruit of life
Coconut milk isn’t just a delicious ingredient—it’s also packed with nutrients that support a healthy lifestyle.
The saturated fats in coconut milk, when enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, can be beneficial.
It contains lauric acid and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easily absorbed by the body, helping to generate energy through heat production.
Research suggests that MCTs may play a role in reducing body fat, increasing satiety, boosting insulin sensitivity, and even enhancing exercise endurance.
Plus, coconut milk is naturally cholesterol-free, non-dairy, and perfect for vegans, making it a nutritious choice for everyone.
The convenience and quality of Ayam Brand coconut milk is just one of the reasons why it has become the go-to for many Malaysians.
All variants of Ayam Brand’s coconut milk are also halal-certified by Jakim, making them safe and suitable for everyone to enjoy.
