asam gelugur vs asam keping

Alhadulillah, I get the opportunity to fast in my very home this year. All IPTAs are given holidays until September(after RAYA) to standardize our calender. As usual, Im the only one home to make dinner, cleaning, and all the house chores(damn i hate it).. and i have to cook for fast breaking too. I came across a recipe which needed ASAM GELUGUR..(wth)??
ASAM KEPING pernah la dengar.. mane lak nak cari asam gelugur ni.. then i searched using google image.. and found out that ASaM GELUGUR is actually ASAM KEPING. hempeh! dah 21 tahun hidup pon tak reti2 lagi...





ni rupe ASAM GELUGUR bile belum dihiris dan dikeringkan ye kawan2! (mesti ade yang tak tau gak an?. haaaaa.. )



ni bentuk bile dah dibelah, macam asam keping kan3?



and this one is after ASAM GELUGUR being sliced and dried for cooking!


after the shameful research, I went searching for kari 'puffs' .. and search again for jintan manis and jintan putih. this is not to embarassed myself again, in the future.

jintan manis lebih kasar dari jintan putih.. jintan manis digunakan dlm rempah kari daging atau ayam... manakala jintan putih pula dlm rempah kari ikan.. ofcoz versi utara punya kari..

p/s: jintan manis in english is ANISEED, while jintan putih is called CUMIN.
