Discovery

~Episode 2 of Wild fruit~

I never know those fruit can be eaten before, how nice! It was introduced to me by a friend. Although I do not know its name (I mean the fruit, XD), but it sure give a good impression to me since it taste wonderful~ good thing I know it can be eaten, so while I'm a little hungry, I can hunt for those tiny little berries!

 

 

Vege-culture

~My pastime hobby~

Fruiting plant

It takes a long time to germinate the eggplant below.....



 

 

 The tomato below only get mature fruits from flowering after 1 month....? 

 

Green vegetables

 

"keledek" leaves, direct translate => sweet potato leaves..? however, no potatoes underneath...haha...behind it is the "kangkung" => water spinach...all people said easy to plant, but mine seem mini type of the healthy plant....soil not good..? pls advise...

 

The right hand side photo is "sawi kerinting" => 'curly' musturd..? no idea, but tastes good, crunchy if it cooked for few seconds..XD, behind that is the "sawi bunga" => 'flowering' musturd...and at the corner of the upper right hand side is the "bayam" => spinach, common vege :)

 

Legume

My favourite "kacang botol", harvested 2 times...hardy plant and is a creeper type (recommend to plant in your garden) and long life span compare to other vegetables, not much pests at the moment..except the 'white flies'...if you know what I mean, most vegetables prone to that particular larva-insects...

Gawai holidays

~Outings~

 

 

In front of the entrance to the Plaza merdeka shopping complex in kuching. The simple decoration of the Gawai festival represents new year to the several native ethnic group in this city.

 

Nature works best even when there's only a wall...but the shrub manage to get its way to the surface of the wall and climbs higher to get the sunlight, their source of energy...

 

 

 

The view of the kuching city in daylight...one can never miss the DUN building that somehow represents landmark of kuching city...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wax apple or known as water apple etc

Wax apple season~
This mini wax apple contain mostly water, prone to disease infection if not taken proper care...photo above are some of the wax apples on an abandon tree..nice to see but not to eat...it may have worms especially fully ripe ones...only the fully ripen fruits on tree that will bear the little sweet flavors...;)

Steam mantou bun

Recently have been raining a lot in my area..so the only thing I can think of while managing the time is....try to make some chocolate swirl mantou....

the mantou appearance remind me of the some small snail....kawaii des...but not so good in texture...have to work towards that in future...:)
