This is my beloved vegetable... the yummy and delicious
jungle fern aka
bilin/bidin/milin/midin. So confusing huh? So many names, but all refering to the same thing. This is the culinary dish of Borneo Island/Sarawak.
Something not to be missed when I balik kampung.
Die-die also must eat cos up to date I can't find it outside Sarawak. The
Fiddle Heads fern in Canada/US looks similar, but taste wise, i dunno liao.
Most Sarawakians love this (except the weird
Pink Cotton, who dislikes it), and I know
Cocka loves this too. Cook with sambal belachan... Wah.. Heavenly !!!
Different version of jungle fern - but this one is damn hairy !!! Dunno wat is the name... Issit Hairy Fern? LOL
So much 'bulu' geh? geli lah.. Kia si lang :P

0.0 The hairy fern can eat one ah??? Eeee... I cannot imagine eating that one. The normal jungle fern maybe lah. Does it taste like "pucuk paku"?
Wah I love to eat this but errrr I am not sure about the one with the webs.....
The hairy plants looks freaky to me!
You really love this bilin hor? Seen that you've been blogging about me plenty of times liao... :P
carcar! ya ya building shook a bit, scary. about 20 secs. i saw my mineral water 'sway', so i know it's earthquake. but still giddy lah.
Hi hi! Wow interesting blog u've got here. Never had this before but the 'moh-moh' looks like infected-lar. See oso shiver edi.
rinnah,
Can, but this is the first time I bought it. All these while I mostly buy or eat the bilin jungle fern.
I was curious about the hairy fern, that's why I bought it tat day :D
This is one of the paku, i mean from the paku family but tasted different from the pucuk paku we used to have.
wennnn,
U should try it (i mean the bilin jungle fern) and I'm sure u will love it. I have quite a number of friends from peninsular who tried this and they "fell in love" with it ;) One of the must eat dishes when u visit Sarawak !!
The one with webs.... err, that one u can ignore it :P
day dreamer,
Hhaha. Scary leh the hairy fern?
I'm curious how it tasted like, that's why I bought it. That was the first time I ate it too :D
Yeah, I love bilin. The main purpose why i posted this up is to share the photos. Previously I didn't take the close up shots of the fern. And summore this is the first time I bought the hairy fern :)
misti,
i didn't feel the quake. Might be cos I already felt giddy earlier on since morning.. aiyhhhh...
Luckily now no more giddy oledi
Tummythoz,
Thanks :)
Yeah, the 'moh-moh' is not appealing at all. Looks scary though.. But out of curiosity I bought it :D
I love midin too. i brought bloggers to see midin recently they were puzzled..edible kah they asked? hehe
I have a beautiful pic of wild midin at http://www.mylongkang.com/2007/02/23/bukit-lima-forest-reserve/
Ok, we fly to Sarawak July 15th...
Oooo...love this fried with belacan.
And it does wonders to one's digestive system too. eat already can shit very easily. LOL
I think I will second Pink Cotton on this
It looks like some mutated plant that will eat me
Hmmmmm
psssst... can sneak some over when you come visit me ah? I want fried fern! or we could go looking in the jungle here for some... no guarantees you'll come up empty-handed...
omg.. first time i saw this. wah... at first glance like some sort of green worms leh! geli nia! KKK!
chen like eating green worms meh??
and the hairy one looks like tarantulas! lagi geli!
but okla... since this is so highly recommended by u, and oso i cud eat it... why not try... maybe nex time go sarawak must go and makan this bilin...
Sure would like to give this a try. Our asian version of asparagus
hee i like to eat bilin/midin/bidin. dunno whatever it called, coz i dunno which one is correct. i only know it's yummy yummy. but the hairy one is geli.
Oh...u want to know why that particular fern so hairy??? U see, it all started with him being just a normal fern lor, then onde day he saw a proboscis monkey and laugh at how ugly & hairy it looks, so the God of the monkey put a curse of the fern,thus, the resemblance...hairy and bighead aka big nose...
End of story
disclaimer: Do not take this story seriously
Btw, I like paku too
yearghhhhhhh
esp the berbulu punya bilin!!!
arghh...can almost feel the bulu getting stuck in my throat
wah....buat rojak sedap jugak this sayur...like paku pakis...but ive never tried this one...
I've never eaten this kind of veggie.... wondering how it really taste :)
Any recipes? who knows someday I can find it in the wet market :)
today got earthquake not?
SA,
*borrow electric razor*
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
*oops*
I botak-ified the hairy fern liao..
no more hair liao
Hahahahhaha
Sarawak is located on Borneo island
Borneo = Sarawak + Sabah (Malaysia) + Kalimantan (Indonesia)
It's alright
I'm lost with the states in US too
Kkkkkkkkkk
bengbeng,
u mean bloggers outside Sarawak?
Hehehe..
Err.. The photo u showed looks more like the normal wild fern or paku than wild bilin?
LB,
err.. i tot u wanna visit Singapore on 15th? Kkkkkkkkkk
cocka,
I dream of Bilin
Hahhaa
High fiber content & slimy, tat's why can do wonders !! And most importantly, it's delicious !! :P
zeroimpact,
mutated plant?
Wah.. u watched too much movie liao or reach too much fiction story book :P
LOL
Pink Cotton dislikes it cos it's a bit slimy :P
may,
Later the custom ppl might ransack confiscate my bilin --> can cry wan if lidat :P wasted all the delicious bilin liao. I know someone who brought back cooked sambal petai to Oz but being confiscated in the airport..
searching for wild fern in Oz jungle? This sounds interesting.. Kkkkk.. can do hiking & jungle trekking while searching for fern. Syiok :P
kyh,
Hehe, cos i take the close up shots of the bilin :P Green worms? Worms are more fat & juicy ;)
Regarding the hairy ones, That is the first & last time I bought it. I don't think I will buy it again in the future --> bought it just for curiosity sack. I will still stick to bilin fern :)
U must try this fern, and furthermore u r vegetarian. U won't regret !!
iml,
Hehhe, i have lotsa testimonies about bilin from my peninsular frens ;) This is a must try dishes if u visit Sarawak..
oranges,
Kkkk... Different people give different names. But we all know it refer to the same yummy thing.
The hairy wan.. cute mah, no?
yeah, it's geli..
not only geli, but very geli :D
papercrazy,
Hahhaha, I love your story :D
Well said
LOL

Looking at Angel, the cute moh moh dog

It is hard to describe the taste of food unless u try it out yourself.
Hehehe
