Hi, I’m new to this blog. I’m from Sarawak. This vege called “Q-mo Chai” in Hokchew, one of my favorite vege. My mum use to cook this Q-Chai soup for the lunch/dinner since I was a kid, simple but very fresh & sweet. I hardly find this vege in KL.

Alfafa : Er, no. The “Pa Bo Chai” which you mentioned is another type of leafy green. PBC has dark green colour and reedy looking stems and limps fast (hence its name). This veg has light green colour leaves and wider stems.

Nee : I don’t usually add food bloggers on the visits unless I actually visit their blog regularly and find them good enough to recommend to others. I will check out your blog.

alice : They look cheerful enough

dancing queen : I believe it is the same thing as “Q” or what it sounds like means “curly” in Hokkien. Great vegetable for the table

Over here, they call it ‘sayur kerinting’ or ‘wrinkled’ vegie. In mandarin, it’s called ‘zou cai’ meaning the same thing.

It’s nice no matter how it’s cooked. Sweet & juicy!

It looks like a kind of sunny lettuce to me.
