Hey what is this?

When was the last time somebody told you “Aiya, you don’t know how to eat!” and then proceeded to set you straight? This blog is based on my cousin’s idea for a TV show – Jalan Jalan Kacau Orang. The plan was for my mom and his to visit random restaurants and go from table to table to check how people were eating wrong. Anyone not doing the food justice in their opinion would be admonished with “You don’t know lah!” while anyone eating something the way they would have eaten it themselves would be rewarded with “Oh you know it, sister!” Bit too busybody for you? Well, we can’t help it – you don’t know lah!

Leaf-ing Me Alone?

Don’t ignore the leaves on your papaya tree because you actually can eat those as well. Chewed raw, they’re a great cure for a headache and their juice does wonders for a high fever. They’re bitter as bile of course, but there is a way to make them edible. Boil the leaves with daun senduduk (they grow wild if you’re lucky enough to find them) and they’ll make for excellent kerabu mixed with finely grated coconut. My grandma throws in the cute little papaya flowers as well.

Did you know that? Well then... You’ve just been Don’tknow-ed!!
