What herb?


Anyone knows what this is?

Before my grandmother loss her ability to speak (aphasia condition caused by stroke) she told my mom that this can be used as remedy for cough. Just add it into any broth, chicken soup for example.

So I tried once, they make my chicken soup tastes a bit bitter. I don't know how to describe it accurately, bitter is not all (I blame my limited vocab). Though it looks like onion, but the taste is actually "radish-ish".

What Tree

We went to Tenom Agricultural Park two weeks ago. It was my fourth visit to the park and never been there during fruit season. If you make a visit during these time, you can eat whatever edible fruits from the gardens, as much as you can. But you can only eat them in the park, they do not sell the fruits and you can never sneak them out. No tapau-tapau.

I made new findings anyway.


Beautiful flower isn't it? It came from this weird trees. The fruits look like buah kepayang but it's not. I know because we got pokok kepayang in our orchad. My hubby made a random guess and said it's buah kelapa laut (see coconut). Haimeh?
