While I usually call it luffa or loofah, it tags the other name of marrow squash in the supermarkets of Singapore. I have recipes, tips and more easy recipes coming up soon. Well, the only complaint I have is: marrow squash is not a very "economical" vegetable to buy (esp. when sold "by weight") since you need to peel off that tough coat (inedible) to expose the edible "softee" inside.

Do you have big concerns over recipes that calls for such description in quantity: since her finger might be longer than your finger; and your handful might be smaller than her handful?:p
