The pretty yellow look of my ripe pisang lemak manis.

This is taken last 15 August 2019. My pisang lemak manis (banana) fruits already turned ripe yellow in colour. After keeping it in closed plastic bag to ripen it up for almost 3 days since it is harvested last 12 August 2019 [1].

The look of ubi bakar (roasted tapioca) using fire.

This is taken in the evening of 15 August 2019. It was in the dedicated lot in Agro land plot in UTM Skudai. Going the for the first time after obtaining the lot for cleaning process of the lot before replanting. Able to harvest 1 tapioca plant, planted by previous lot owner. Quite a good progress for first visit. 
The look of ubi bakar (roasted tapioca). Taste great. Somehow it taste like ubi pulut. It is advisable to eat it while it is hot. As when it is cold, the smokey taste is quite intense.
The look of the harvested tapioca. The soil is quite porous. Quite easy to dig out the tapioca plant. Will need to harvest the rest of tapioca plant in order to clean the lot for replanting.

Harvesting my fifth pisang lemak manis (banana) fruits.

This is taken in the morning of 12 August 2019. I have to harvest my fifth pisang lemak manis (banana) fruits since found one of them burst open today.

The huge and long size of my hempedu bumi leaf planted outside work place.

This is taken last 23 April 2019. Finally I know the type of plant that grow healthily in one of container outside my work place/lab area. After it start to produce seed pots. It is hempedu bumi plant [1].
The largest is 10 cm long and 3.5 cm wide (middle part of leaf). Medium size is 5 cm long and 2 cm wide (middle part of leaf).
Definitely much bigger, longer, wider and thinner than mine at home [1]. Seems like to be more than 70% increment in size. That is why I never guess it is a hempedu bumi plant from earlier. Fortunately my instict to let it grow bigger, worth the risk taken. Since it is quite good herbs.

Overview look of the plant.
