Miri : Buah Rotan (Sour Fruits)


Rattan is a climbing vine and its fruits are edible.

They are generally very sour and expecting mothers who suffer from morning sickness often crave for it. Rattan fruits are often availalbe in native markets all over Sarawak.

They can be used to balance the saltiness of jelly fish, adding a special tartness too.

Buah rotan can also be used to cook fish soups.
