    Your channel feels like home! It's so close to what we always make here in Malaysia. We call them kailan & kangkung. Your recipe always looks simpler and more delish! Will definitely try them, I've never felt this butterflies just by watching cooking videos like this, that's how I love your page, thanks Marion for sharing your hearts in Asian cooking. 💕

    It's refreshing seeing dishes you eat almost every day being given the spotlight, makes you feel like you've taken these things for granted. I'd never imagine kangkung tumis and kailan bawang (the dishes as they're called here) could be explained and celebrated wonderfully like what you did.

I ate street food like this six times a day and lost about 30 pounds in those months. This shit is healthy, dont try to skip in the oils, salt or sugar. Just skip the western shit you eat unknowingly.

    Hi Marion, Love your recipes. Just wanted to ask about a dish i saw in a yum cha restaurant. It was a dish of a Chinese green vegetable with large flat leaves. It was arranged very neatly on the plate with thick stalks cut off and leaves perfectly trimmed at the top. Over the top was oyster sauce. It seemed that the leaves were not just steamed as they had a very slightly oily coating. The leaves had retained their vibrant green colour. I hope that you will be able to recreate this dish as it was very simple, stylish and most importantly, delicious. Hope you can help.

I have no idea why they call it dagoeblad in my country because "dagoe" actually means "dog" in Suriname language and "blad" means leaf in Dutch so yea "dogleaf" which is weird haha. and the other one we just call Kailan. which is fun to know that these names originate from Asian roots and my country has alot of Asian Roots who imigrated here.

    In Indonesia I found several ways to cook kangkung. My mom always add hot chili and tomato in stir fried kangkung. People add shrimp paste too. Sometimes we just blanched kangkung and topped it with a generous amount of sambal (pounded chili, tamarind, brown sugar, salt and a bit shrimp paste). All really are delicious
