Bunga Kantan – Torch Ginger Flower

April 23, 2009 - 6:08 pm | admin

I seldom see Bunga Kantan or Torch Ginger Flower in this household. So, when i saw one on the chopping board just now, i couldnt resist the urge to take a pic of it. My MIL was preparing ingredients to cook Assam Ikan Kembong and she says by adding Bunga Kantan (Torch Ginger Flower), it’ll taste better.

The Bunga Kantan was already out of its pod when i took this pic. It’s a beautiful flower in a nice pink hue. Have you seen it before? I used to hate its smell near the Malay stalls whenever i follow my mom to the yet market when i was little. Gee…. I can almost smell the Torch Ginger Flower all over again in my head. BLUUEEKKKK!!
