Every Friday, my siblings and I went to practice my silat lessons at Zaytuna Elementery School (Sekolah Sri Kenanga). We learn Silat Seni Gayung Malaysia with four other students of the school too. A few months ago, I had just realized that the miracle tree (moringa oleifera) beside the school building and as I promised May 13, GreenMalay and everyone else… I had uploaded pictures taken from my handphone after yesterday’s practice.
Almost two months ago... only 2 fruits...

  1. Ask your mom to add some moringa’s leaves in your ‘telor dadar goreng’, it’ll be a most delicious ‘lauk’. Then eat with hot rice. It used to be my favorite dishes masa kecik2 until now…


  2. That’s exactly what my ‘nenek’ said too… She said that it was her favourite and she always ate it until at one time when moringas are too hard to find in Terengganu. But unfortunately, I do not like ‘telur dadar goreng’ plain or otherwise :)

    BTW, thank you for being kind enough to read my blog and post comments too. I hope you shall come read my blog again.

    Dear Aiman,

    Yes! The Moringa tree looks very healthy with flowers and pods (the fruits are called pods). They are good for making curry when they are still green and friable. The young leaves are good for making soup, but I just consume them raw. You can also dry them in room temperature and grind them into powder. You can use the powder as food condiments.
    It is good if you can propagate the tree among your friends.
