  18. Cassava originated in South America, so in Guyana they learned how to use it from the native Amerindians. I am not sure how it spread to Africa and Asia, possibly the same way tomatoes, chilis and potatoes did!

  26. oh wow... sometimes i missed such kuehs... not forgetting banana leaf. I do feel without banana leaves, the kuehs don't have that extra 'kick'. Not only that, once I had to wait 2 weeks for Daun Pandan to arrive from Thailand via Paris! Worst I can't even plant the left over branches ( i had to buy at least 300 g- 500 g..geeeeeshhh) because they cut of the roots!

    And... I simply crazy with Lapis Legit aka Spekkoek! In Belgium, it's quite difficult to find except in certain Indonesian restos and I'm lazy to make it :-D so, now I know when I miss certain dessert, I can always wear a bib and sit in front of my laptop, gawking at your posts LOL... Cheers!

  27. pixen: hello pixen, welcome to my humble food blog :)

    Wow.. you ordered daun pandan from thailand via paris? the daun pandan must be really had fun traveling! Hahaha... It must cost you a lot. My mom plant daun pandan in our roof garden :) I'm wondering what is "daun pandan" and "daun suji" in english, do you know?

    You love Spekkoek? yummy!!! Usually during chinese new year, some people will order it from my mom. Yup.. my mom sells cookies and cakes. Most of her recipes are originally from Holland and Germany ;)

  28. Daun Pandan aka Pandanus Amaryllifolius or Pandan Wangi. In English it's called Screwpine leaves ( I have this back at home on the terrace.)This species is fragrant and used in desserts, puddings, etc and as colouring as well but not as vivid green as Daun Suji.

    The indian community used 'Kewra' an extract from the male flower of Pandanus if I'm not mistaken for their drinks and desserts:-)

    Daun Suji aka Pleomele angustifolia (Medik.) N.E. Br. ~ Pandan Serani or Cat's Claw and mainly used for it's darker and intense Green color than Pandan Wangi.

    Both of this species looked a bit different though. Daun suji's leaves are shorter, wider, flatter and the way the leaves sprouting from centre outwards. Green color is more vivid and it's used mostly as decoration plant.

    Daun Pandan Wangi has more pronounced leaf shape and had this deeper 'V' in the leaf centre. Leaves grown alternately overlapped each other. More fragrant than Daun Suji.

    I hope that helps :-D

  29. pixen: Thank you so much for the explanation of daun pandan and daun suji, it's really informative!

    What a cute english name for daun suji - cat's claw... :)
