Bentong, Pahang - my home for a few months

Work takes me to some amazing places and on a visit one time we headed to this quaint little town called kampung lama bukit Bentong and it was simply devine. About 45 minutes from KL, this village is surrounded by banana plots, vegetable gardens and fresh river fish resysursnts.
There were a few stalls selling a variety of amazing fruits including passion fruit, red skin bananas, buah nona, and vegetables  (some I have never seen before) such as purple spinach, a type of watercress thats less pungent, baby french beans and fern shoots. The vegetable lady was so kind to explain how to cook everything..and was intrigued as to why I was so interested. It ended up with me having to explain I was blogging about good food online. She didnt quiet understand so I found myself explaining to her what a blog was and me getting my phone out to show her. she loved it! and said, back in her day you got to spend time in the kitchen to document how to cook things. nowadays you can get your phone out and write it down. 'Gila' (crazy) she said with a huge smile on her face.
Simply amazing! its so awesome to be back in Malaysia :)
