The Garlic...

Well, I believed everyone knows what the Garlic is. In the Malay culture it is call the Bawang Putih although it is not a Bawang [Onion]. Anyway it is always associated with the other onions like the Yellow big onion, the Purple one which is call the Bombay onion and the Shallot which we call the Bawang Kecil [small onion]. In the Asian cuisines/cooking all the onions are important ingredients of cooking of whatever dishes, from frying Vegetable to making a good Curry. As for the Garlic as in the image above it one ingredient that we cannot do without. Dishes would not taste the same without it. It also got medicinal property and often used in the making of traditional medicine. It is said to be also a nutrition for the soul as well, thus it does made good medicine to healed the sick. It some western culture it is believe to ward off evil spirits. So in whatever culture the Garlic indeed do have a special place in our lives. As for me the Ikan Singgang is not the same without the Garlic and I always enjoy eating the Garlic cook in the Singgang. Well folks life would never be the same without this wonderful herb that we call Bawang Putih or the Garlic. 

Have a nice day.
