The pumpkin also sold at RM2 per slice can be cooked savory or sweet. Jerome loves it if I stir fried pumpkin with dried shrimp and a bit of shrimp paste (belacan). My children love sweet pumpkin bubur (porridge) with condensed milk and evaporated milk.
Whole pumpkin...

My family's favorite vegetables are long beans and brinjal. Simply stir fry with shallot and garlic with your favorite minced meat, anchovies or dry prawn. Easy, fast, simple and tasty!

Pineapple...a must in my weekly shopping. Best used in juicing. You can juice pineapple with any other fruits or vegetables and the result is just wonderful...
Unpolished rice...been eating brown rice for a couple of years now. I'm glad that my family is slowly adapting their lifestyle into eating healthier food. My son Aldo is beginning to love eating brown rice too.
