We get to eat lots of weird and wonderful food when mother-in-law is visiting. A couple of days ago she spotted a fruit, which she calls "pigs' titties" in Hokkien, in somebody's garden then cooked it in a dish of sambal udang petai. That dish would translate as "hot and sour prawns with stinky beans and pigs' titties" ... nice. Tonight I got home from work to discover mother-in-law had plucked, cooked and eaten the neighbour's hedge! She cooked the daun kaduk or wild betel in coconut milk with dried shimps, white pepper and chilli. She saved some for the neighbours but I decided to eat the evidence.
