Ur basil plants is sweet basil plant? I noe Bukit Timah NTUC Finest does sell the plant itself.. was looking at it and quite tempted to buy one hm.. but duno whh to buy.. :evil:

My sweet basil plant mati liao. Dunno why, cannot grow well. Now I have, I dunno what basil, but quite commonly grown in Singapore, so I call it local basil. The leaves are sharp in shape and darker in colour compared the sweet basil. Works just as well. I find local basil's smell sharper so will not use as much.

Yah I bought a pot of the sweet basil from cold storage. That's the one that did not survive. Maybe I use it too much, no time to regenerate. Haha.

Hmm.. Local basil. ok.. muz go find out liao..
N mayb i'll try to buy the sweet basil too.. :evil:

Of course fresh ones will still be better but sometimes cannot find any fresh basil in supermarts so these dried herbs are pretty handy.

I have a couple of basil plants growing in my garden so I just snip off what I need. If buying, I will normally go for sweet basil. Think you can find it more easily in cold storage then in NTUC.

Yes, Finest has almost all the herbs. Cold Storage is another place to get fresh herbs.

Thyme, rosemary (best for beef and chicken dishes) are my part of my usual shopping. Mint is great to make cold lemonades for hot days or just about any tea.

- personal fave (I learnt to make 'sun' (oven) dried' tomatoes from here as there are accompanying recipes. But not exhaustive list of herbs

Besides cooking, herbs are my must-have for remedies. Thyme for cough and sage for sort throats.

Can also buy from Far East flora. I bought my big pot of Thai Basil & still surviving! They also sell sweet basil & other herbs. Reasonably priced too. Think my Thai basil cost around $4+.

Bought from NTUC. Though I realise, not all NTUC have. So far been able to get it at NTUC finest at Bt Timah and Xtra at AMK Hub. They usually put it together with the chilled kimchi and korean rice cake area.
