Essential Plants for Malay Dishes

Since the MCO started, I became obsessed with gardening. I love gardening since I was young, it was my parents' hobby that was passed down to me. To cut things short, now that we have to stay at home, I able to manage my time to destress with gardening.

To my surprise, right now I kind of stuck with what to plant next, since my parents already been planting most of the fruits. Thus, I conclude to make a list of the most essential plants for Malay Dishes that can be planted in our garden. During the MCO, we couldn't go out much, so, having our own vegetables is a great idea for me. It can be a living fridge in our backyard. I was inspired to share these with you peeps. Hope it benefits you.
