It was last year when I made one of my many trips to the Far East when a friend came with this lovely buds and flowers. The moment I saw these my thoughts were brimmed with watercolour painting ideas. An ideal subject. But my dear friend insisted that I should use them as garnishes to hot, spicy noodle dish.
"What hot, spicy noodles" I remarked. "with these beautiful and perfect flowers?
"Yes, they are lovely simply shredded" my friend smiled.
What a beauty! I thought it was a pity to cut those beautiful plants. But at the same time the idea of hot, spicy noodle made me hungry. When she went home, I put these in a vase. No, few days later I took out my watercolour kits and spent many leisurely hours painting. One late afternoon when I was about to put my last layer of the paint, the telephone rang. It was this friend inviting me to go out to open stall to have hot, spicy noodles.
Hot, spicy noodles.....recipe to follow.
