RED TORCH GINGER FLOWER

The English name for Bunga Kantan is Torch Ginger Flower.  One would be able to connect why it is so called as its edible red flower looks like a flaming torch.  There are actually a few colours for this flower.  I have seen the pink, white and red types so far.  However, some cooks say that Torch Ginger flowers, whose buds are pink in colour, are highly aromatic.
I bought the two stalks of red ginger at the supermarket.  My friend Sazali who saw me choosing the flowers asked if I was going to make Laksa.  I told him that I was going to use them for my floral bath.
