this is my new favourite veggie - the chinese wombok. i don’t understand why it has such a weird name too, but never mind.

it’s hard trying to find yummy veggies here cos the angmohs eat different veggies from us asians. i’m lucky there’s asian veggies like choy sum and kai lan here. the thing is, i’m not exactly crazy about choy sum and kai lan. i just learnt how to eat eggplants last semester. i don’t eat corn or beetroot or silverbeet or sweet potatoes or pumpkin.

which means that all along, i’ve been living on broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, mushrooms and carrots. the occasional spinach, cos it’s a bitch to totally get rid of the soil and grit before cooking. after four months of broccoli, broccoli and more broccoli, i swore off my favourite veggie when i was back in sg.

welcome to my list of staple veggies, you wombok.
