CHOY SUM...

Yes, this is my 2nd post for today...why not? :P

I'm not a big fan of choy sum because of its bitter taste...but my mum loves it very much especially in noodles with fishball soup.....A fren of mine gave me the seeds a few months ago, so i'm not going to waste it & let it germicide about a month ago...maybe more that a month...but the growth rate was quite slow at first..maybe because they were cramped in 1 small container....I was busy with a lot of things i didnt really have time to take a good care of them & didnt manage to transplant those seedlings into a bigger pot..if you look at the size of what my sister harvested yesterday, it's considered quite small compared to the commercially produced choy sum..but it tastes less bitter than the store bought ones...but still,not a fan! & i need those containers to grow something else...:P

before & after harvest :)

fresh from the garden choy sum :)

it finally goes into this fried noodle dish together with beef & beansprout, made by my sister :)

    Mmm. That noodle dish looks pretty tasty! I'm not overly fond of bitter either, but I understand it's very good for the liver. Our bitter is dandelion leaves.

    Size does not matter as long as it taste nice and especially lovingly grown from your own hands. Wah sedap nampak mee goreng kalah kedai mamak. Oh benihnya dah pos semalam.

    Thanks, Leigh....i've also heard about some bitter veggies/fruits such as bittergourd etc are good for certain health issues but most are not scientifically proven yet....:)
