Lidi
Lidi is Malaysian for the rib of the leaf of the coconut leaf/frond. This leaf-part is removed by a sharp knife until only the rib is exposed. These ribs are cleaned and sharpened and made into Satay sticks. In the Philippines, they are made into a broom, called "Walis Tingting", useful household item for cleaning the yard. There is no single house in the Philippines without this Walis. In Germany, they are used as decorative item.
Walis made from the stem or rib of Coconut leaf/frond is not available in Asian stores in Germany, so I asked my friend ho vacationed in the Philippines to bring me this Walis (broom) on her way back to Germany, now I am enjoying cleaning my garden using the Philippine's very reliable household cleaning item.
