I’ve been rather fascinated with cili padi that I draw them and plaster them all over my personal website (?!). Cili padi has character. It’s a fast grower and can bear fruits within 3 months. Though small, it’s strong, prolific and spicy. *** I’ll never see chopped cili padi in a plate of soy sauce the …
