New addition to our garden...

I have been searching for Kaffir lime leaf for past couple weeks, being craving for one of my favorite Nyonya dish and Kaffir lime leaf is one of the must have ingredients for the dish. On Saturday, after having dinner with our fellow neighbors at Chinatown, we stop by at one of the local Vietnamese nursery to check out whether they have the tree we want.

Yes!!... they do have it!!! This is it... Kaffir Lime Tree (Tai-Ko Kam)

Here is the closer look of the Kaffir Lime leaves, it always serves as popular ingredient in South East Asia.

In the meantime, Cindy also found her favorite passion fruit tree, she has been thinking for growing a passion fruit tree for a while, just couldn't find one in Houston, and today, she is bringing it back home!! 

Both of us went home with our face smiling.......

Dinner at home :)

My wife cooked a simple, healthy and yummy dinner this evening... She is really doing a great job!!

It is our first harvest meal for the white bitter melon...

CWnCindy’s Review (5 Stars Rank):

Overall

We gave the food presentation 3 stars since the outlook of each dish didn't really attracted us much at first sight. However, once we get a taste of  it, we were totally “WOW" by its excellent flavor!!
(Wah... now we are food blogger.. Maybe山寨版..okay.. Maybe not.)

Great job!! Cindy !!
