Go Organic!

I love the fragrance of pandan leaves. I love to use it for desserts such as sweet potato soup. When I was a teenager, my mum used to ask me to cut pandan leaves from our garden for cooking purpose. I miss those moments and have decided to grow my own pandan leaves.

As I am living in an apartment, there is no room for a vegetable garden. So, I have decided to try container gardening. We chose to plant seedlings rather than seeds so that we could see results more quickly.

Growing vegetables in pots is fun and easy. Everyday JX and I will check our plant and JX is very enthusiastic in watering the pandan. I am so happy that my pandan grows with minimum supervision. Yesterday, I was able to cook one of my favourite desserts (white fungus, longan with ginkgo fruits and lotus seeds) with my home-grown organic pandan leaves. I showed JX how I cut the leaves and cooked it so that he can make connection that we eat something that we grow.
