Mustard cabbage/sayur pahit/kai choy



My sayur pahit/mustard cabbage/kai choy has grown up. It is called sayur pahit because it has a bitter taste in it. Should i harvest it already? 

My mother used to cook this kai choy into soup by adding in anchovies and fish ball. I like to eat my rice just with the soup (the typical chinese eating style-must has soup). hahah. U can taste the sweetness of the anchovies & the taste of kai choy. 

I remember at one time I fall sick and I have no appetite to eat any foods! But I did eat a bit of rice with this soup, weird right? 

Chinese restaurant usually cook the thick stem of kai choy with seafood (crab meat, sotong, prawn & scallop) in thick-egg-gravy.  Sedap!
