Forbidden Rice Congee with torched okra, slow cooked egg, eggplant and sorghum nuts. #sayurday with Chef Darren and team Gary, Han, KC & Sherrene
The first #sayurday course served by Chef Darren Teoh and team Gary, Han, KC & Sherrene — sago chips with Brazilian spinach dip (in a little planter pot!) and budu mayo madness. Squeezed out of tubes… just to trip us out.
#sayurday food theatre. @darrenteohmg’s siphon used for the mushroom consommé infusion. Rubén looking on, and everybody else snapping away, as one would do when presented with food 🙂
Thank goodness it’s #Sayurday! Chef @darrenteohmg foraging in the garden looking for greens to garnish today’s ulam infused and siphoned mushroom consommé. Say what?
Taro harvesting in Bukit Gasing. “They really are as big as an elephant’s ears!”
Harvesting for Sayurday begins! Pulled out some of our biggest taros for this fully booked out session from our sponge garden. Chef Darren Teoh will be making use of perennials apenty. Our awesome friends at Green Fingers will also be providing some starter pots for all participants. Drools all around!
After our first run of our Sayurday series with Peruvian chef, Miguel Hokama, who treated us to sumptious Peruvian dishes with garnishes from the garden, we’re running our second session with Malaysian chef Darren Teoh. Chef Darren focusses on molecular cuisine and strives for sustainable, quality produce, as he firmly Read more…
Pasu, a licensed Nature Guide who was part of the Malaysian Nature Society’s Visit & Volunteer session last weekend managed to get a number of baby banana trees and papaya trees from the garden. Male papaya trees are rather high in demand this dengue season.
Can anyone identify this species? It’s one of the many frog species we have hopping around, thanks to the pond habitat we created a while back. We are hoping they’ll continue to control the pests around the garden.
Our second harvest of groundnuts. Technically our first harvest was gulped down in excitement by the Yayasan Chow Kit kids when they came to garden at our place a couple of weeks ago 🙂
Peruvian chef, Miguel Hokama’s corn based dish Humitas, flanked with astro arugula and garnished with wood sorrel from the garden to give it a little sour kick. Ping us at hello@eatsshootsandroots.org if you’d like to get involved as a chef (or a guest) in our #Sayurday series 🙂

Yesterday’s four angle bean harvest turned into typography. Picked over 60 pods at a go. They get old and hard pretty quickly so best to pick them nice and early. Preferred accompaniment: Sambal Belacan!
One of the gardeners from La Salle Hall picked up some overgrown sweet potato leaves from the outside of our garden, and also asked for some bittergourd to cure his cough. He managed to get quite a bounty from our fence and lined his pockets with it! Happy that some Read more…
