塔菜 (PAGODA / TOWER VEGETABLE)

Alright, you can call me someone who originates from the deepest jungle or village or extremely ignorant but I really have never seen this vegetable before. I will soon be able to try the taste of it. It costs RM12 per kilogram here and the seller told us that this vegetable is only available once a year. It is called pagoda / tower vegetable because it grows in layers after layers getting higher and higher. I will report about how it tastes like once I manage to figure out how to cook this thing. Haha!
