My Laing

I bought dried leaves from the supermarket, i want to try if i can cook laing. In order to be successful on my first laing attempt, i asked several people like my officemates, ate Leila and ate Liza. It seems like they’re good coaches. I followed some of their cooking tips and applied a few of my own in the process. It turned out good and everybody love it.
