Curry Chicken from Killiney Kopitiam

Curry Chicken

Killiney Kopitiam normally conjures up thoughts of Singaporean breakfasts. But it turns out that these guys also do meals too, like this local curry chicken. Not as spicy yet richer than an Indian curry, this local curry is loaded up with so much coconut milk that my cholesterol level got completely obliterated by it. But it's hard not to mop the stuff up with bread and rice. My arteries will never forgive me.

Coconut milk (although high in saturated fats) has no cholesterol. Only animal products have cholesterol.

Ah yes - I stand corrected. But I understand that saturated fats in turn raise bad cholesterol levels in the body, which is why the medical community so strongly discourages consumption of it. Indeed, one study I saw even argued that saturated fats had a bigger impact on a body's cholesterol levels than cholesterol in food itself - for most people, anyway.

Then again, I'm not a doctor. And the more I try as a layman to find out facts about it, the more controversial this seems to be: for every study that says that coconut milk is bad, there is another study that says that it is good. Well, I don't eat that much coconut milk in the first place, so I'm not too worried about this. Red meat and butter, on the other hand...
