This is called screwpine leaves. I've always had difficulty in trying to describe this essential ingredient in Malaysian cooking. Normally, I get confused faces in exchange for a very bad attempt at describing what the leaves look like. But now.. aha! Screwpine leaves!! I don't think this is actually going to help, but at least I have an english name to it!

On a different tangent, but still on the topic of food- What is typical Malaysian food? I'm supposed to cook a Malaysian dish for the Easter Festival at my church this Friday- featuring international cuisine amongst other things, but.. I can't think of any Malaysian food- well at least any that I can cook! No, don't tell me nasi lemak, cos I don't know how to make it! And I've never made decent curry in my entire life.

Cream puffs is what I was thinking of making. Don't ask me why I think that's Malaysian!
