Shooting straight up from the ground topped with layers of bright pink, red or white petals, this tropical perennial plant is called Bunga Kantan or Torch Ginger. It is an indispensable ingredient in Malay and Nyonya cuisine, where the buds are used to zest up curries and seafood stews. This fresh spice has the power to mask strong fishy taste as it does in the famous Penang Asam Laksa. So how do you use your Bunga Kantan? #eatsshootsandroots #torchginger #food #spices #malaysia #garden #growyourown #green #bungakantan #ESRHarvest
