There is one thing I never tried since I arrived here: traditional medicine. It is true that I never really needed it either. I am also a bit reluctant as I believe quite a few endangered species are used for that purpose. Herbal medicine is the most common form and can be found in many places in Singapore. Most of the rare animal medicine are used for people who reckon will gain strength or get special powers from some of the body parts like tiger penis or deer antlers. The latter is commonly seen around here. I wonder how it is prepared, Is it grated, is it boiled, is it chewed...?
