This was the first time I enjoyed a cuisine using edible flowers..It seem quite hard to find pumpkin flowers at our pasar (market) here ..
Frankly, it was hard to detect the pumpkin flower aroma..

The pumpkin flower, something new to me...
In many fine dining restaurant here, they like to use pumpkin and zucchini flower. I plant pumpkin so I can get the flowers (haha hard to find in market) but the snail always eats the flowers before it's ready for harvest :(
Oh wow, you must be real lucky to get these flowers. I used to go to wet market too butnever come across any of this flowers at all. This dish you make must be very delicious with the prawns stuffing.
These r so lovely Sonia! The aroma together with the bountiful of filling.... Oh.... Now I'm seriously hungry! U always make me hungry.... Ahhhhh
开了眼界
我还真的不知道这花儿可以吃呢：）
Hai Sonia lama kak Ros tak masuk sini, lain dari yang lain ni.
First time to know pumpkin flower can eat this way~
Me too...firdt time know that flower can be eaten. Ingat kum chum flower can eat only
I've never seen pumpkin flower before. So pretty!
You are amazing in cooking Vietnamese food!
Over here we usually used zucchini flowers with a tiny zuccchini attach on it and stuff it with some cheese. It is consider a delicacy and cost quite a bit when you order it in the restaurant. The flower taste really good too when you cut it up and make into omelette.
I've heard about edible zucchini flowers but never heard of pumpkin flowers! It sure looks delicious!

Oh yummy!
太美了，花中的美食~ 一边吃一边觉想象自己是蜜蜂蝴蝶啥的，哈哈哈。。。
南瓜花很难买得到。
是不是可以用马来西亚的国花-大红花来取代啊？那可是随处都可以采摘到的哦，嘻嘻嘻。。。
