we were at the countryside on Sunday..
and these were some of the sightings.....
the banana flower- this may be cooked or made into a delicious salad
fig trees..the figs are used for brewing tea..
bread fruit may be sliced and fried with a batter
the ornamental banana- the Moosa
and we had a hearty lunch
from the left, local pickled vegetables with sliced fish
sesame chicken and fried sweet potato leaves with garlic
and hot lemon grass tea with traditional Asian cakes made from farm fresh ingredients...
right in front is the baked tapioca with coconut,
top left is steamed glutinous rice with palm sugar served with grated fresh coconuts and
baked jackfruit cake on the top right..
Happy T Tuesday!!

Wow! It all looks so good! Aren't the little baby bananas cute? I've always loved them... We had little finger bananas that grew by the pond in front of our house when I was growing up... Very tasty...
A feast for the eyes :) 'I love this place.....'
