Do You Eat Flowers?
>> Friday, November 12, 2010
At the Joo Chiat Complex, I was amazed to find that roses are sold not as flowers but as food. I am serious. When I passed by the stall, I thought they were simply selling flowers. But I wondered why they have all the flowers and petals separated and some even cut into smaller pieces. Then the lady told me, "eat lah.."
She said flowers like orchids and roses have medicinal properties for a youthful effect. So I got to think that some of them indeed look younger. Could it be that they eat all those flowers? In my experience, I have learned previously that flowers are used for flavoring but not eaten directly though. This was quite a surprise, really..
