I like Phak Bung. In Japan I can buy morning glory which we call Kushinsai at supermarket. My mother plants Kushinsai in her garden in Mie prefecture.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's good that you have Kushinsai in Japan. I like Kushinsai too. I wonder how do you cook Kushinsai for Japanese food. We love to eat sushi here. We learn to make roll sometime.
