Berncsp76 6th Gear November 19, 2010 Share November 19, 2010 hi bro are you looking for something below? is called biji selasih in malay and in my favourite drink: air katira I think can be found in phoon huat stores, the store that sells cake making items. Provision shops should have it too. just tell them biji selasih or kiwi seeds taiwan night market also sells it and they called it 青蛙下蛋 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curahee 1st Gear November 19, 2010 Share November 19, 2010 Its call sago seed. As for ur first question, basil is a type of herb, if u want to get its seed to grow basil, u can go hypermart like giant etc, go to their gardening section and get the seed. I grow them in my balcony, gd for cooking 3 cup chicken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ysc3 Twincharged November 19, 2010 Author Share November 19, 2010 sago meh ?? i dun thk its sago ... so far only found it to be called basil seeds or the biji selasih on the web. google also found that someone had tried PhoonHuat but they dun have it. can be used to make dessert ... just sprinkle some bloated ones into your dessert can already - and i repeat, its not pearl sago. so anyone actually bought it somewhere ? name of shop pls ? i only managed to get a few small packets from AliShan (Taiwan) ...
