Baby butterfly

Smallest butterfly that we ever seen! She was suddenly flies out from the plastic bag which I packed the herbal greens from mom's house. She was migrated to our house all the way from Batu Gajah, Perak.

stir-fried bitter gourd with black beans 豆鼓炒苦瓜

Another bitter gourd dish in our list - stir-fried bitter gourd with black bean paste. It is a vegetarian dish, very simple and nice to eat. I also use our organic home grown bitter gourd to cook this dish.

stuffed bitter gourd 釀苦瓜

This is another way to cook bitter gourd - stuffed bitter gourd with pork & fish paste, serve with fermented soy bean paste as dipping sauce. Eat more bitter gourd is good for our body as bitter gourd can cool down our body especially when we ate a lot of fried food.
