Ulam raja, literally meaning "the King’s salad", was brought by the Spaniards from Latin America, via the Philippines, to the rest of Southeast Asia.[1] Ulam, a Malay word used to describe a preparation that combines food, medicine and beauty is the widely popular Malay herbal salad. As a Malaysian delight, it is served throughout the country from major hotels for tourists to buffet lunches or dinners for the locals.

 

The young shoots of "Ulam Raja" is my favorite salad with my lunch and diner, it grow widely at my backyard.
