i think these arent kaffir limes..those are biasong…the visayan lime for kinilaw makruts have wrinkled skin and rounder compared to the limes shown here.

If you’re in Bacolod, you can contact Ms. Evelyne Bautista of Mamabel’s Organic Herbs for a sapling of makrut lime. I got mine from her just this recent Masskara Orchid show.

OMG! that is a find! for the past few years, the hubby and i have been managing our thai recipes using drief kaffir lime leaves bought from blue elephant in bkk (it’s just not the same). we used to bring in pounds of that stuff until we discovered some kaffir lime plants in farmer’s market cubao (i didn’t realize they grew up to over 5 ft!) they are indeed the key ingredient to most thai dishes. i just recently discovered your site and LOVE it. my husband loves to cook as well and laments the lack of available ingredients locally. your site is a goldmine of information. thank you! i will now run over to market market with the hopes that there are still some kaffir limes left :)

I wish I could have been there too. I wanna see the fruits! These kaffir limes looks less knobly than what I see in books. Maybe it was a cross polination. Anyway, this inspired me to find a way to induce flowering on my really old plant. Will post once I’m successful. For those looking for plants, try the lung center weekend market. I think they sell the small seedlings at P150-300
