Most people dont really fancy this vegetable. i didnt at first. but then i grew to like it when i first went to Chilli's and they served it raw with their ever so yummy buffullo wings. i then tried it with their dip. quite frankly, i liked the dip better!
We make sure we'd eat more greens. we'd rather pay slightly more for it and get it fresh.
Now, instead of putting celerys in soups, pies, or having them raw, i know how to cook them on its own (*where have i been all these while?!*) my husband remembered eating something like this at some chinese kedai makan (eating place) back home in KL. and one day he taught me what to chuck into this dish. i cant believe how simple it is, and how nice it tastes! try it!

Zaza,
I baru perasan that you had moved your blog. Me bad! It had been crazy for the past weeks.
Hey, I enjoy reading the stories & recipes.
Anyway, here's something for your celery recipe.
- Cut the celery diagonally (something like potong peria)
- Other stuffs that you can add to the dish: mushroom (button), snowpeas (whole), strips of green/red pepper (capsicum), carrots and also chicken strips.
Selamat mencuba.
