Especially during Chinese New Year, lots of arrowroots (aka nga ku) are available and sold at shops and markets. Tasty deep fried like chips - very addictive lightly salted with chips.But there is another way to 'appreciate' nga ku.
Yep, they can also be a beautiful green ornamental plant (mine still growing) - perfect for CNY decorations!!! Just need a little luck and patience.note: Need to change water everyday to keep it from 'smelling' and also the possibility of mosquitoes from breeding!
Tip - buy 10 just in case some are 'duds' and can't grow, hopefully then you will finally end up with 8 lovely & lucky plants to decorate around the house :)
