Just wondering… back in Thailand, there are some places where I can find plants like Kunyit Hitam and other kinds of rare herbs and plants for medicine and healing. Over here, many of these things are almost unheard of especially in KL (back in Kedah or Kelantan I can only find them growing either wild or being cultivated in monasteries and kampung houses).

Any idea? Some had hinted to me about ‘pasar borong’ in Chow Kit… I’m sorry but I need more information before setting out for my ‘trip’ as I don’t want to go to somewhere I am not familiar with and looking for things that don’t exist in such places in the first place.
Yuna, for example; Kunyit Hitam and those fragrant roots and herbs (since you know what I’m into, and I am running short of supply right now since coming back here to Malaysia). There are many other kinds that I don’t know what they are called in Malay as I am not familiar with local terms.
