Good question about fresh lotus leaves 🤔 I don't know if they're not used because they're not readily available or if they don't give the same aroma, or if they don't steam so well and will break down
I think the concept of this community is very good. We are a diverse community here, and many are connected through our love of food, it would be lovely to learn about the culture and story behind the food and well.
I'm looking forward to sharing some of our traditional food.
It must be down to availability and flavour. I'd have to rob the Botanic Gardens to get fresh leaves, and likely get arrested, so I'll put that idea to rest😅
