Way
back before, we planted lots of citrus "Hystrix" or known as kaffir
lime in our vacant lot. For several years, we already tasted its
fruit thru mixing its juice with our soy sauce especially when we eat
chicken, fish or beef. Indeed, this kaffir lime serve as a good
appetizer to us. As of now, only few kaffir lime trees left in our
backyard since we cut it down and use the vacant lot. This container
is just one of the result of the kaffir lime trees that been cut
down. We turn those trees into something useable that we keep even
for a lifetime....Whola! We just choose the right design in making
out this container along with the others....
that is a pretty cool container made of the wood...i wonder does the kaffir lime have the same acidic bite as say a key lime? i love key lime....
