2022-02-24 08:01:57 Lengkuas Ranting, Lengkuas Kecil, Lengkuas Padang or Lengkuas Geting - have your pick! There are many common names for the Alpinia conchigera, a perennial ginger that produces white flowers with reddish streaks and pink or red round fruits.

Although native to Singapore, it’s presumed Nationally Extinct. However, you can find it planted in the Ginger Garden at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

2022-02-17 08:01:28 The Cempedak (Artocarpus integer) is in the same genus as the Breadfruit and Jackfruit.

Have you ever tasted its ripe fruits? They emit a pungent smell, though the seeds can be sweet. Cempedak can be eaten ripe, fried, in cakes, or even in ice cream!
