Assorted Sarawak Vegetables & Fruits

This fern shoots or Fiddlehead Ferns is specialty in Sarawak and not the same with the one typically I had in Perak (It is called Paku Lendir in BM). The typical one in Peninsular was shown here as a comparison. It has a coil head and not much leaves. Boil for 5 minutes with a pinch of salt and enjoy it with Sambal Belacan.

These two fruits are another specialty of Sarawak. Buah Engkala (or pronounced Engkalak) is seasonal fruits like Dabai. I love Dabai but not Enkalak because of its distinct taste & when bite it feels like mashed food.... hard for me to swallow Engkalak. Anyway, to prepare Engkalak, pull off its top support & soak in tap water for 10-15min to get rid of its bitter taste. Sprinkle salt when serve.

To prepare Dabai, soak them in warm water until soft. Sprinkle salt when serve.
