Aubergines all shapes and sizes. Great for curries, vegetables stews, grilling with some olive oil or even eating raw in a salad (Small white rounded ones)
An array of chinese greens, long beans, bak choi, bitter gourd, spinach leaves, water spinach (or kangkung)
Salted fish! yummy! these are sliced so thinly that when you fry them they become so crispy. Its amazing just to crush them ever so slightly and sprinkle on hot warm rice as it gives it so much flavour...
This is what we call Bunga Kantan or Ginger Flower. It almost acts as a perfume for any savoury dish. Used manly in Asam pedas dishes but i like to slice the flower up thinly and add it to salads as it give the additional aroma and the tender flower petals add a nice texture to the salad
Tropical fruit is a delight as there is always some sort of fruit in season at any given time of the year. Rambutans (red fur ball type fruit, left of picture) have an amazing white flesh that is usually juicy and sweet, Mangosteens (purple hard exterior fruit, Middle of picture) which had a tangy sweet white flesh and of course we have mangoes, both sweet, sour, creamy, firm. The versatility of Malaysian Tropical fruits enables us to use it in both sweet and savory dishes. i.e. Mangoes can be used in curries or salads
