I am very curious cos it's not known in the city. Over the next couple of days, I will find the time to cut down a Musa acuminata subsp malaccensis to extract the p-stem heart and let my sis cook it. It seems when eaten raw, it is very crunchy but on the bitter side.

Sixwing : Fried rice is hugely popular as a main dish here and they have many varieties. I like the one made by the Malays known as Nasi Goreng Pataya whereby after the rice is done, it is encased in a thin omelette. It takes quite a bit of skill on the part of the chef doing a good esthetically pleasing job. Of course we have the spicy ones too. In all, the Thais, Chinese and Malays are well known for their own recipes in frying rice. The next time you or your hubby fry rice, try using a dash of the thick sticky black Chinese sauce, it will give a tastier flavor to the rice and richer looking in color.
