Cassava leaf is edible and very tasty, in my country we eat them in many different way.

And for the green beans, I might just save it and cook another day 😉

Beside gardening, my other passion is cooking.
Growing up in cooking expert family made me naturally love good food and enjoy playing in the kitchen.
My mum is a famous local cook, back in my hometown, she is the cook that everyone in the village looking when they have party or any occassion.
She is my cooking teacher and my role model.I dont have to worry about missing my hometown food when I have to left my country and live overseas.
All I need to do is just call her and ask her recipe.
Though I cant do it anymore since she pasded away 4months ago 😔
Thats also the reason why I finally choose this path, to be a certified Chef, to continue her legacy in culinary.
My speciality of course Indonesian food, and these are some of them.
In Indonesia, we called it Tumpeng.
Tumpeng is an Indonesian cone-shaped rice dish with side dishes of vegetables and meat originating from Javanese cuisine of Indonesia. Traditionally featured in the slamatan ceremony, the rice is made by using a cone-shaped woven bamboo container. The rice itself may be plain steamed rice, uduk rice, or yellow rice.(source: Wikipedia)
I used family recipes, and I always make sure to use the same ingredient for the autenticity.
All make fresh, no artificial color and flavor or instant seasoning.

We got thunder storm last night, and means the garden will be full watered with fresh and clean rain water 🥰

Woke up at 5.30 am, made a cup of tea and walked barefoot around the garden....aahhhh feel sooo good 🥰
The plants grow very well, beans are climbing, kale's are curling, corns are smiling and red cabbage's head are forming 🥰🥰🥰
Oh and dont forget about the tomatoes that start to fruiting 🤗
Love to watch them grow everyday, noticed every little change they made so healing.
Wish u have a wonderful day everyone 😊😊😊

Last night, suddenly I was inspired to change one of my white display cabinet at home.
I was thingking if I combine my tea cup collection with my it would be look so good 🤔
So, at 9pm last night I cleaned up the cabinet which is originally I use to display my Chinese tea set collection and swap it with these particular tea cups with roses pattern of Royal Albert English.
And Im so much excited, enough to make me woke up at 5am and went to the rose garden to picked some of the blooms then arrange it in to this.

Spring has sprung 💃💃💃
Finally can enjoy some of my collection at the front yard
Still have to learn how to make them bloom at the same time, but im still happy either way
Cut some of them off to make my flower arrangement 🥰 I will show you how it becomes in my next post
I bought all my roses plant bare root in the winter, I find its more easy to adapt to a new place and if you look after it right, they will never let you down 👍
I hard prunned them in the winter time, then before the spring come, put the fertiliser on...then....here is the result 😍😍😍 love it

These are what some winter vegetables that still waiting to be harvest.
Cant wait to pick my wombok/chinese cabbage and use it to make my own Kimchi (Korean Fermented Vegetables)
Keep praying that slugs wont finish them 😅
And Im thinking to let the lettuce stay in the garden, and I will just pick every leaves I need to🤔
Let see how it will be 😁 I might change my mind
One thing for sure, cant wait for the spring to come 💃
Stay safe and healthy everyone 👍
