A type of veggie called 田川七




Have you heard/seen of the above veggie before?  Actually I have been growing them for years, but, I didn't know the name until I learnt it from a magazine called 有福同享.  Sometimes, it is called 田七菜 too because when the plant gets older, it will grow something that looks like 田七 all over the vines. This veggie is very high in minerals especially iron.

We can stir-fry the leaves (I stir-fry with sambal belacan).  Sometimes, I cook them in egg soup (蛋花汤) with a hint of sesame oil.

From the magazine, it is advised that the leaves should be cooked thoroughly before consuming.

It has lots of  humble white flower strings all over now

My Chili Plants - 最爱的辣椒树

Last year, there were lots of chili plants grow from my compost.  So, I transplant them to my veggie patch. I have a real bumper crop of chili this year. Abundant of them..... Have a look at my handsome chili plants.




I spy with my little eyes, something that is hot and long hanging on the plants :-)
