Today, on the way back from Berjaya Hills, I stopped by Bukit Tinggi Village to get some old ginger. The ginger here is really yummy and huge! They grow it in this areas so it's really fresh.

Also got some fresh green veges like long beans, and some other leafy stuff for boiling soup and stir fry.

Cooking the Ginger
1) Get a few thumb size pieces of old ginger (I don't like using young ginger because there's not enough oomph and after a few hours, it tend to get sour, like it's going off!)
2) peel the skin off
3) take something heavy and bruise it
4) put it in the crockpot with water
5) add pandan leaves
6) add red dates (optional)
7) cook overnight

If you don't have a crockpot, you can just boil it normally for about 45 minutes or so. However, the flavour won't be as intense; you can add more ginger then.
