Ah Mah's house have many sort of plants.
Here are the Pandan(Screwpine) which she blend to juice for Mamarazzi to make Banh Tet
Lemongrass which is good to make Curry
Mint leaves which is nice to put into my 100Plus drink
Saw a small bush of Bunga Telang too.
Lovely flower ya?
It can be use as food dye. Mamarazzi wish she had them when she was making Nyonya Zhang the other day so that her Nyonyan Zhang didn't turn into Incredible Hulk Zhang.
But what I like the most is that Ah Mah have "magic plant" too.
Here is the magic plant
See what happen when Mamarazzi touched the leaves
They will close!
amazing ...
Amazing!
Touch! Touch!
The flower/seed of the magic plant
After awhile, the leaves will open again.
It's awesome!
The flower seed of magic plant looks so beautiful and the blue color flowers too.. i never seen that before :)
ReplyDeleteNature is something else! I know about this magic plant when I was a kid..I make sure my kids touch them whenever we're in the woods..
ReplyDeleteThe magic plant is known as 'Mimosa pudica', Smallkucing. When auntie was younger, auntie likes to play with it too. But careful when you touch it, the plant got tiny thorns.. =D
ReplyDeleteThe blue flower we call it Bunga Kerak Nasi.. The magic plant we call it Bunga Semalu. The flower from magic plant we call it Bunga Belacan because it smells like Belacan. ahahaha
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice place! We also have some of those herbs. No "sundal" (prostitute) kah? You walk past and all will stick to your trousers.... LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteBunga telang? Your Ah Ma's a true blue nyonya kah?

Wah, so many plants at Ah Mah's house.
ReplyDeleteI stayed in kampong when i was small and used to go around looking for magic plant too and make them all go to sleep, interesting. No computer game, no entertainments, so that was one of my past time.
ReplyDeletethat magic plant we call it "makahiya". it literally translates to "shy"... it was called such because that plant's leaves are shy. lol
ReplyDeleteI think every child will be amazed with the mimosa pudica. I always played with it when I go to playground when I was young. Those were the days huh?
ReplyDeleteah..this reminds me when I was little, my daddy used to show me these too...magical!
ReplyDeleteI also have some of these in my garden except for the talang. I think I should look out and buy to grow in my garden.
