actually, talking about neighbours stealing your stuff, glad the
folks are nice to the neighbours.. like yesterday night, the folks
made sambal belachan leatherjacket wrapped in banana leaf and
roasted...
sambal belachan came from one neighbour..
limau perut leaves to put on the fish came from another's
plant..
the banana leaf was from the tree just over our wall and hanging
into our backyard
chilli is usually from this hugeass bush which our neighbour told
us to help ourselves.. and we do when we run out.. it's good chilli
padi.. not just hot, it's fragrant too..
other things around the neighbourhood:
lemongrass
lime
mango
curry leaves
pandan
aloe vera
we give people jambu from our bush as well as other whatever herbs
we grow too..
most of all, we are the ones consolidating the orders for mee siam,
laksa, satay sauce, curry paste which we order and take delivery..
the neighbourhood then comes to collect 
neighbourhoods like these are good
