The rice that turned Imelia into a Torch Ginger believer
❤️ "From too pungent to perfect—find your balance with Nasi Kecombrang."
Imelia's Torch Ginger Breakthrough! 🌸
Imelia used to struggle with fresh Torch Ginger—the pungent fragrance was just too much for her, and she never knew what to do with it. She tried and tried, but it always left her feeling dizzy rather than inspired.
But then she tried @my.blue.tea's dried Torch Ginger flower/dried slices—and everything clicked!
She created her own "Nasi Kecombrang" (Torch Ginger Rice) and finally discovered the joy of this ingredient. The dried version has a gentler, perfectly balanced fragrance that she absolutely loves.
In her words:
"Turns out, I can enjoy Torch Ginger! This one isn't pungent at all—the fragrance is just right for me and doesn't make me dizzy. I'm so excited to try making other new dishes with these flowers!"
In Imelia words in Bahasa Indonesia : “Aku sama rasa bunga kecombrang itu sebenernya belum bisa memahami dan menerima rasa enaknya. Terlalu wangi dan menyengat. Beberapa kali coba tetep blm suka.
Dapat kiriman bunga kecombrang kering / torch ginger dari @my.blue.tea Aku coba buat nasi kecombrang. Ternyata aku bisa menerima rasanya dan suka karena wangine pas buat aku dan tidak buat aku pusing. Jadi excited utk coba buat masakan lain dengan bunga kecombrang ini ”
