One piece of pandan leaf for $ 1.99 (P 90) !!!
Back in the home country, we grow these in our backyards. It doesn't cost a cent. You didn't even have to buy a seedling. There's always some well-meaning relative or friend who would have been only too glad to share. Those who don't have backyards get it from their neighbours.
It is when I see how insanely expensive Australia can be that I fleetingly entertain doubts about my decision to move here. Nothing here comes for free. I miss free tanglads, malunggays, avocados, silis.
Aaarghhs, some things you just find so hard to let go. But as they say in Australia, you just have to suck it up, baby!
