I told Agus that I passed by Padawan (not far away from Kuching city) and stopped by Pitcher Plant & Wild Orchid Garden, but too bad the place was closed that day. (Take note the place is closed every Monday). Anyway, I came down from the car and had a peep inside the garden.
This was the photo of one of the Pitcher Plants inside the garden (I took the photo from outside the gate). Haha, I didn't want to go back empty-handed. Die-die also must take one photo of the pitcher plants !!!! LOL Agus asked whether I will post the pitcher plant photo and here it is... :)
I read about Pitcher Plant Rice twice in the past from my friends' posts. (The first time was from Fish Fish's blog and the second time from Kristopher's blog). Kristopher said he was like sua ku to his in-laws cos he never eat pitcher plant rice. Mmmm.. I guess I'm equally as sua ku as him cos I never tasted the pitcher plant rice before too, hahhaha... I read from Fish Fish's post that Pitcher Plant Rice is available in Serikin Market in Bau, Sarawak. Anyone interested?

You can go Gunung Gading (somewhere near Kuching) to see the rafflesia. My mum purposely arranged a family trip there for us before we moved away from Kuching. I was so blur that time I didn't know we were going junggle trekking. I wore dress and slippers. That's why 'til this day I still can remember. As for the pitcher plants, I think you can grow it yourself. Hehehe not sure. That time I so sakai over the plant. My mum was like.. Cheh.. behind our house also got bah.. hehee
lrong,
Hahha, you are not alone. There are many out there who doesn’t know the existence of this Pitcher Plant Rice :)
I get to know about Pitcher Plant Rice early this year too, after I read Fish Fish’s post … Slurp mentioned the pitcher plant rice is available in Northen Thailand too..
zeroimpact,
Early morning wanna eat ice cream liao? Hhahaha… how about ais kachang with ice cream & fruits topping? ;)
lynnx,
Actually hoh, I had been to Gunung Gading National Park before.. that was way back in end of 1999 (when I was working in Sarawak General Hospital time). That national park is located near Lundu district, right?
I went there together with my colleagues and we stayed in the resort inside the national park itself but don’t have time to walk around… cos we went there for a short course.. can’t remember whether one day or two days course. I still remember the resort is like a dormitory, hahha, with some double decker beds. Then at night we went to a nearby longhouse to give speech to the Dayaks.
Muahaha.. u wear dress and slippers to go jungle trekking? Walao.. Mossies and leeches will love u lot :P
I will go to see Rafflesia one of these days.. might be in Gunung Gading National Park.. might be in Kota Kinabalu, or might be somewhere else…

I think the insects trapped by the pitcher plant actually enhances the flavor of the rice.
each has it's unique flavor depending on the kind of insect caught.
