PestoPesto, is very rare to be found in malaysia. But easy enough to make, I havent tried one. Would like to ask if anyone tried the taste of pesto? What it taste like?

ya, saw it, the one he made is without garlic. I finally made one myself.i found the raw garlic is a bit too strong.maybe thats the reason he doesnt put one?

btw, the taste is not as awesome as i thought. ''

i use parsley, i mean dried parsley, could this be the reason? btw, i cant find fresh basil here in malaysia i know basil loves sunny weather, but how come we hardly find basil here?

what is it called in b.malay and chinese? if ask them for basil they wont understand

eh, not selasih lar. basil and selasih came from the same family, but their taste very different. i just went to jaya jusco near my area and found selasih, is not basil at all.

ya, i saw that too when google. is definitely not selasih. selasih i got whole bunch in my garden here. and that wikipedia could be a mistake, or maybe our definition of selasih in malaysia is different, i dunno.

hmm, earlier there is one replied here saying RM1 whole bunch @ morning market. i was guessing, where is this morning market?

i was guessing, the selasih pesto that he used must be taste weird. not much people like selasih taste

btw, anyone tried asparagus pesto? i saw one in youtube, seems nice.

'Jiu Cheng Tart' ....... this is definitely Daun selasih, very common in Malaysia, u come to my home u can get all u want i also dun mind LOL

Btw, Delicious' pasta at midvalley, is very ; taste is very bland, i suspect they boiled the spaghetti without enough salt. the mushroom pasta i have there, doesn't even have much mushroom taste at all, just a few slice of mushroom here and there, what i see was the total mushroom on my plate is not even more than 1 whole mushroom, and the sauce...is very obvious they just put some cream thats it. I have to add the salt and pepper myself to make it edible. And worst, the most important ingredient in pasta - cheese. just 1-2 slice the size of the quarter of ur thumb put on top of the pasta is lagi . i was very unsatisfied, and therefore ask the waiter to grind more cheese on top of the pasta before serving me.

and at that price , i rather buy my own ingredient and cook. But dunno why a lot of youngsters like there possibly most malaysian dunno how to taste western food
