Quiz: Plant Guessing (Updated)
Haven't really finish my HCMC, a quick glance what's coming
A couple more to go like interesting wraps, noodles soup from Hue, street scene, cu chi tunnels, tay ninh with unique religion that you can't find else where.
Also few more from Sydney trip, if you love oysters or like Spanish Paella & pasta in rich Iberian sauce, sydney street scenes, stay tuned.
Arghh ... that reminds that I told someone that I will post some shots of of my Mae Hong Son, North Thailand few years back. Looks like it's quite impossible now.
hmm ... seems like gonna drag for months hehehe ... hope that didn't sounds too boring :P
Anyways, with Month end approaching, meaning more crazy work schedules coming. Besides, need to preparing for another trip in Dec 2005 :P So I will less time to work on my post. :(
MEANTIME ...... why not try guessing which plant these flowers belongs to. HINT: Its a pretty popular culinary herb in South East Asia.
Have fun!
p.s: Will reveal answer perhaps in couple of days? Sorry, no prize for making the right guess. Pretty much broke after all the vacations :P

Well, they are the curry leaves (Murraya koenigii). Actually they are small trees with highly aromatics leaves, They are used in Indian curries dish. But we do find deep fried leaves that are serves along with local chinese dish like oat/cereal prawns, pepper crabs.
Interesting, they are traditionally used for treatments in digestive system, skin ailments & diabetes.

hi slurp! - could that possibly be the kaffir lime plant? can't identify the flower, so am trying hard to identify the leaves????
abi, have fun mucking around those codes! =)
keiko, yup too difficult considering folks at your end might not have seen the leaves before. it's not lot of places that i travelled, I still fare very far behind as compares to many :(
cath, nah ... kaffir lime leaves are larger then the flowers don't clusters like that. curious if those green fingers will know the answer ... let me test them. :)
