Not Your Typical Tourist

A Life Between Two Countries, And All In Between

Thailand

My First Bunch Of Garlic

At the risk of sounding stupid ignorant, I have never had or bought a bunch of garlic before. Come to think of it, I have not seen it back home. 

Checking with my siblings, my sisters told there that indeed it is available in Malaysia 🙂

 

A bulb of garlic vs a bunch of garlic

The garlic that I know, always comes in a head or bulb of garlic. Even those used at my home in KL, it always comes in this format. Needless to say, that’s what I have been using in Bangkok in the past 2 years.

 

Bunch of garlic

But bf’s mom and his aunt always have a bunch of garlic at their households. BIG bunch of garlic hanging on the kitchen wall is a norm for them.

We finally bought our first bunch of garlic, at 35 baht! Or rather, bf bought me my first bunch of garlic (how NOT romantic 555).

Our kitchen is now officially a Thai kitchen 🙂

Not Your Typical Tourist

A passionate advocate for independent and solo travel, I traded life in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the vibrant streets of Bangkok, Thailand. This shift is all thanks to a "chance encounter" in 2009 that led to marriage with my Thai husband. I currently split my time between Bangkok (my main base) and Kuala Lumpur for family—documenting the unique blend of a Malaysian life lived abroad.
