Sarawakian Local Delights : Young Chempedak and Ensabi


Young cempedak when dropped or taken off the tree is made into a vegetable or sayur. Shredded into small pieces with a parang, and soaking in a basin of water, the young fruit is sold in small baskets to the customers. 

One small basket of shredded cempedak is good for a family of five.

A very tasty dish can be made from this immature fruit by frying together belacan, pounded ikan bilis, onions, garlic and ginger and ensabi, the local young green musard.

Bon ape tit!!
