Have you seen this before? It’s a vegetable but it looks like a guava to me 😀 It is called the Buddha’s Palm.
These peculiar looking vege are being sold at the market near my place. According to the vegetable seller it is best cooked with dried shrimps. Just cut them into small pieces, saute with garlic and dried shrimps. Just add a dash of salt, a little water and cornflour. The Buddha’s Palm easily absorb the flavour of the ingredients. It is a simple dish and very tasty too. Ashley likes it a lot 🙂 Here is the result –
Ok, I confess, I didn’t cook this dish. My mum did. She’s the one who asked me take a pic and put it up in my blog 😀
My MIL loves this vege and likes to cook it alot. 😀
I love to boil soup with this ‘fhatt sau kua’. You can also stir fry it with fish balls or chicken / pork, taste just as good 🙂
