This recipe is a fake! It doesn't even have any coconut in it!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my rice came out mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The rice was a bit too sticky for my liking. I think I'll use less coconut milk next time.

The coconut rice was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I wasn't sure about the pandan leaves at first, but they really do add a special something to this dish. Highly recommend using them if you can find them.

I've tried many coconut rice recipes, but this one is by far the best. The secret is in the coconut milk and the pandan leaves. They give the rice such a unique and delicious flavor.
