This is Tapai - fermented rice with sweet alcoholic taste wrapped with banana leaves. Don't worry, u won't mabuk nor drunk after eating it. However, there is no $$$ back guarantee either :P
Side Note : Tapai ≠ Tupai. Tapai is not Tupai nor squirrel meat. Rest assured NO Tupai were injured in the process of making Tapai. LOL

ReplyDeletejackson,
ReplyDeleteI remember reading somewhere online that there is a research done recently with preliminary tests showing positive results - that eating fermented tapioca or tapai ubi might help to prevent few types of cancer. Mmmm.. let's keep fingers crossed :)

ReplyDeletetapai is different from tupai?? wat about tapaware??
tupaware can only 'OPEN' and 'CLOSE' *cabuts*
ReplyDeleteFor the life of me, I can't remember ever eating this before? Where can I get it in Penang? Do you have it in your clinic, or do you prescribe this to your patients?
ReplyDeletei'm not sure what is it, sure it could be something like rice dumplings?

Kkkk... Did Ehon behave himself? Got yak and sampat till the cows come back home? LOL
angele,
Wow, u know about Tapai !! That's great :)
Tapai is sweet by itself. Wow, eating together with sugar and crushed peanut? The taste will be even more sweet then. Hehhehe
It tastes okie - sweet with tinge of alcohol taste, since it's fermented stuff :)
firehorse,
ReplyDeleteHehhe, glad u know about this foodstuff although u never tasted it before. I'm pretty surprised many Malaysians are unaware of Tapai after reading the comments :)
U should taste it. It tastes sweet with tinge of alcoholic taste, since it is fermented glutinous rice. Kinda nice :)
may,
Thanks Maymay.
I lup u too :)
*muacks*
papercrazy,
ReplyDeletePapercrazy Oh Papercrazy, u sure boh? IMHO, the rice wine made by natives is called TUAK leh, NOT TAPAI. Kkkkkkk...
U wanna minum tuak? Now we can even buy tuak in supermarket (in Sarawak lah, of coz) :P
Mmmm.. btw, apa tu Tapaware?
Same as Tupperware ah?
I suaku mah, dunno :P
*paiseh*
misti,
Kkakakka.. reminiscing the old days
*OPEN*
*CLOSE*
*SEMI OPEN*
*REGURGITATE*
*sampat*
LOLOLOL
giddy tiger,
ReplyDeleteErr.. how come so many Malaysians never see or eat this Tapai before? I'm kinda surprised :D
Yeah, it is available in Penang. I bought it from one of the Malay stalls selling kuih in the night market or pasar malam.
Hehhee.. if i own a hawker stall and do side business, might I can keep some in the clinic. Too bad I dun have such luxuries :D
leonard,
Nope, the taste is totally different from rice dumpling. It is sweet with tinge of alcoholic taste since it's fermented glutinous rice. This food stuff might be available in Singapore too, but Malay stalls lah :)
rinnah,
ReplyDeleteI really jatuh spectacles liao. How come so many Malaysians here never see Tapai before leh? It's quite a common foodstuff leh.. Hehehe, I have seen it in several states in Malaysia, including KL of coz.
Kkkkkk.. try to look out for tapai in the Malay stalls in the pasar malam, or might be in the Ramadhan bazaar too. Hehehee
woof meow,
aiyoh, u also never see Tapai before? U gotta look out for it liao. It's quite common foodstuff leh. U can find it in Malay stalls. Yeah, i bought it in Penang in one of the Malay stalls selling kuih and other foodstuff.
Might be u can find it in the Ramadhan bazaar too. Get one soon :)
Hi Dr Chen,
ReplyDeleteHave not eaten tapai for a long, long time liao. Last time, my old aunt or my momma used to make it but we don't wrap it like that - juts kept in a glass jar. I like it cold, so I always keep it in the fridge.
what is that??i also dono wo
ReplyDeletelooks like sour rice...
my eyes can taste wan u kno?? don bliv ask red sponge...i can "eat" with my eyes...no play2
nyonya pg,
ReplyDeleteWow.. i presume homemade tapai is the best. Everything homemade tastes superior ;)
Yeah, cold tapai taste nicer. Tell u something, i bought 2 pieces of tapai a while ago and left one piece inside the fridge. And... I have totally forgotten about it till 2 weeks later. LOLOL
pink cotton,
Piak u for not knowing Tapai. Kakakkaka..
piak u again. This is sweet rice lah, apa sour pulak. I know u can eat with your eyes. Like what u did to my baked cheese oyster last year mah :P Abuthen, your eyes this time ti(p)u u liao. Kkkkkkk..
I thought tapai is a drink???
ReplyDeletechen,
ReplyDeleteI never have Tapai before. That one seems like a Ketupat to me. kekeke.
never seen this before, does it taste like sushi? :P
ReplyDeletezeroimpact,
ReplyDeleteFrom what i know, Tapai = fermented foodstuff using glutinous rice or tapioca. Mmmm... Papercrazy asked the same question too. Might be some places called certain drink as tapai?
kok,
Hahahha.. u should buy and taste it if u come across any foodstall selling tapai ;)
winniethepooh,
Nope, it tasted totally different in comparison with sushi. It's fermented and soggy, with sweet taste :)
So got squirrel inside the rice. Hee!
ReplyDeleteSA,
ReplyDeletekakakkaka... I think I never eat squirrel meat yet. LOL :D
