yes may be cheap but personally i would usually prefer not eat seafood if sources are unknown. seafood are prone to contamination if water are polluted or mercury level too high. that's why i totally avoid seafood unless i'm in japan / korea

i'm that paranoid because i have a friend who pass away after eating some seafood in malaysia.

also i didn't like giant oysters, prefer smaller sized like rock oysters

I agree with rrr2015. You can buy this from Thai Supermarket at Golden Mile, complete with the strainer. Even some NTUC supermarkets stock some Vietnamese coffee, if you are not particular with the brand.

Is it size?? Anyway, I know of a viet coconut, very rare, special and nice one, haven't tried yet. My wife just ordered from a viet here in sg, think they brought over viet. Damn expensive, each S$25, about VND400K. My wife said still people buy, locals too.

Dừa xiêm: most popular type of coconut for drinking and cooking. Juice is slightly sweet. Dừa xiêm xanh (green one) is the least sweet. Dừa xiêm lửa (red one): sweetest.
Dừa dứa: this coconut has the pandan aroma
Dừa dâu: have both red and green skin, small fruit, not very popular, typically used for the coconut meat and oil
