It's mouth watering good stuff leh..

Bila nak terbang pi Sarawak? :P
i love this veggie. In my country we call it pako [stress on the last syllable]. We also serve this as salad. One recipe to die for is fern cooked in coconut milk with prawn. :)
I'm going out now, am so hungry!
Happy weekend! :)

Jungle fern..? Err, what is it called in Malay? Or Cantonese? Because I'm not very sure I know what jungle fern is.

marmaarcher,
yeah, it's tasty and delicious :)
jun,
next time ah? Can, but have to wait till i balik kampung time liao (which i dunno when), since the bilin fern is only available in Sarawak :P
misti,
different from kangkung. It is slightly slimy but yummy. Hahahhaa, i'm bad in describing the taste. U gotta taste it yourself, and i'm sure u will love it :P
psss.. I heard Angel and gang wanna re-order the bilin belachan again last week, but too bad it's out of stock liao :P
moz,
It's good stuff. If tapao, it won't taste nice liao and won't be crunchy. U need to eat it there and then after it is cooked. Angel loves it.
Come lah to Sarawak one of these days :D
pelf,
This is one of the fern or paku available in Sarawak. Up to date, I didn't see it elsewhere in Peninsular.
There are several different varieties of paku available in Sarawak, and bilin is one it. I have taken few snaps of the different varieties of paku seen in the local wet market in Sarawak.
Yeah, this is one of the edible fern or paku. Among all the edible paku, I love Bilin the most ;)
angel,
yeah yeah yeah...
Ah Ben told me u all wanted to re-order another plate of bilin but too bad it's out of stock liao. I wanna eat bilin too yesterday night but the restaurant I went to, bilin was out of stock as well.. :( But at least I get to makan it the night before. Bilin is just so popular.. hehehhehhee..
Really Sedap kaw kaw,hoh? ;)
snoopythegoon,

tegbir92,

siani,

Happy weekend to u too :)
gwapasila,
Thanks. I will drop by yours in a short while :) Happy Weekend :)
stay at home mum,
This is one of the nice and edible local jungle fern available in the Borneo Island :)
u cook it yourself? it looks great...but some stalks look a little too old. i prefer the very young stalks..Mrs BB always scolds me for eating the young stalks and leaving her the rest hahahahahah
bengbeng,
nope, i ate the bilin sambal belachan at one of the restaurant in Kuching.
Hahahhaa, the young curly stalks are the best :D
wat vege is this?
i think my dear like this alot..kl takde la...
Typical Malaysian -- thinking of food!!! And more than BTW, that sure does look good! ;)
ok, I changed my mind about mr. bilin. looks real good here! :D
have a good remaining Sunday! :)
Great photo! :) Sounds like it would be delicious for humans, but not so much for us cats. ;) Great interpretation of the theme!
Is it like pucuk paku? It looks somewhat similar.
mich,
it's midin jungle fern.
errr.. i thought u commented liao not long ago u won't refer to him as my dear again, and so fast u lupa liao? Hahahaha..
He visited Sarawak before? Cos i can't find it in other states in Malaysia.
ytsl,
Hahahhaa.. cos we live to eat, not eat to live.. LOL
butt,
Most people loves it. Only a small minority differs. I'm pretty sure u will love it :)
dragonheart,
Yeah, u r right.
cats won't eat this :)
rinnah,
There are several different varieties of edible paku or fern available in the market. It looks similar from afar but the taste is different.
It u look closely, the stalk and the thickness is different. Bilin taste much much much better than pucuk paku. Up to date, I still can't find bilin in Peninsular Malaysia. This is a MUST EAT vegetable each time I balik kampung :)
he's from sibu ma...
oklor..
i forgot liao..
but if wanna say things abt him use wat word to replace?
;p
seeeeedaaapppppp..
mich,
I see.. He Foochow ah? :D

sengkor,
Manyak sedap sehingga menjilat chopstick :D
bilin and paku, which one u prefer?
I dun like paku cos of the "after taste". Hahahhaa, u know what i mean, right? I heard someone thought he has food poisoning cos his tongue was sort of "numb"
Kekkekkekek :D

fiddleheads elsewhere in the west

>> dunno :)
only tasted Taiwan ones, taste similar lah. i don't think modern folks in US/Canada would want to try them since these are considered carcinogenic! LOLz
mich,
haaha... u better pick up the dialect. Else how u gonna communicate with your future in laws and the relatives
Muahahhahah....
slurp,
A friend of mine (He is a Sarawakian but staying and working in US) told me in the past that the fiddle head fern was sold at an expensive price in US. He didn't buy nor taste the fiddle head there :)

eh...the sarawakians always bluff me that they pluck from the jungle wan.
Jungle got so much bilin meh?
Eat kenot habis meh?
I think they are all planted commercially these days.
Something different, I have never had. I bet it is yummy! Great photo and have a good weekend.
mich,
of coz lah..
for better conversation.
Kkaakkakka..
And can amaze your frens in KL too :D

From my observation each time when i was in the wet market, the bilin jungle fern is only sold by the Ibans and the natives :)
Yesterday night we had bilin in TopSpot, and they ti(p)u wan, coz they mixed the sambal belachan bilin together with paku :(
kissedalotoads,
Yeah, it is crunchy and slimy and of coz yummy. Happy Weekend :)

SA,

There are several different varieties of sambal, and the sambal belachan is made from shrimp paste, with it's "unique smell" ;)
