Which Herb is This?

Last week I bought a herb plant which I don't know its species.
Unidentified herb plant.


Here's a close up shot of its leaves:


The Ah Pek who sold me the herb said it's usually eaten with chicken rice. But I don't remember eating this herb together with any chicken rice ever - whether it's Ipoh Chicken Rice, Hainanese Chicken Rice or Whatever Chicken Rice.

Do you know the species of this herb? Please leave a comment if you know the answer.

Thanks!

My Oregano Plant


This is my new oregano plant. Bought it for RM9.50 from one of the stalls at the Friday market behind my office building.

Opening price was RM10.00 but the seller wouldn't give me for RM8.00 that I asked for. So had to go with RM9.50 loh ...

Anyway, when I moved into my apartment 3 years ago, I left my balcony empty cause I didn't want to clutter it. Everything has to be zen like, you know.

But lately I've been wanting to plant flowers to make my balcony colourful and alive. But somehow couldn't start my green fingers engine. Maybe I was too busy cyber-farming on FarmVille :-)

This oregano plant came about after a friend suggested that I plant herbs instead of flowers. And if this oregano grows well, I wanna start planting petunias in hanging pots on my balcony.

I think I need to harvest my oregano soon.
