BAMBOO SHOOT

Heh!Heh!  Yesterday morning I spotted a fresh young bamboo shoot growing from the one in the college grounds.  This shoot is delicious when cooked with coconut milk.
Here is a shot with a better with of the bamboo shoot.
Here you see me harvesting the young shoot.  
Gotta work a bit hard to cut it off as this will be my dinner.
Yes almost got it.
Here is the harvested bamboo shoot.  I am not good at making this dish and so enlisted the help of someone to cook it for me.
I spotted another shoot sprouting out from another clump of bamboo.  Yes, I will be eyeing this as well.
Below you see the luscious bamboo plant.  In Malay this species is known as Buluh Madu.  Its scientific name is "Gigantochloa albociliata".
