    here's one interesting article.

    well there are some malay kawan² here, BFG and Nizz, hello!
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    I think u guys are talking about belinjo, very common in indonesia. Sold in packets like those keropok, some malay dry goods store got sell the type that is not fried yet.

    Belinjo is a nut that looks like kana, and erm they will crush the nut then mix with flour or some without flour. Then make into a paste, lastly they make it flat then go deep fry with chili or juz plain.

    YUmmY YUmmy.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Trevor

    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    trevor, vinz, i'll just pop into one of the indonesian restaurants and buy some for you lah! [] the last few times i was there, noticed the fruits were already gone - guess more people into fishkeeping = more people knows about those "valuable trees" already! [:]

    bfg, now that you told us about the leaves, those poor trees will soon become "botak" too! [:0]

    well, actually the park authorities should consider replacing some of these trees (like those near the dog hotel) to ketapang for the benefits of fishkeepers. buy fish or fish food or accessories, get free leaves! []

    Coryfav, only new young leaves are pluck, not old ones. Anyway if u r going 2 make the belinjo keropok, certain shops do sell the uncooked, ready made ones in packet. Just buy a few packet, get your wok, pour in ur cooking oil. Once the oil has heated up, just dump in the uncooked keropok in. Takes a few second 4 the thing 2 cook coz of the hot oil. Don't dump all in 1 shot, just a handful at a time. If the color turn darker, it means u have overcooked the keropok. Get a big plate n place a few folded paper towel. U then placed the cooked keropok on the plate. The paper towel will soaked the extra oil. U can keep ur keropok in those plastic airtight container n can last long. In my household however, none will be left after a couple of days. [] []
