There are many different "tribes" which make up the indigenous races in Sarawak, from the Sea Dayak or Iban to the Melanau, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu, Kelabit, etc..
However, there are only a
few varieties of food which are truly indigenous.
Please savour them.
The lemang, a special 'dish'
of chicken with
native spices cooked over
an open fire, inside
a green bamboo shoot. The
bamboo gives a
special and distinctive taste
to the chicken...
Midin Belachan. A stirfried concotion of
a local wild fern,
the midin, in a delightfully smelly preserved
shrimp paste, the belachan.
Whatever your taste preference or reservation
this dish is guranteed to capture
your culinary imagination. It will be love
at first taste!!!
