Parkia speciosa (petai) is a plant of the genus Parkia in the family Fabaceae. It bears long, flat edible beans with bright green seeds the size and shape of plump almonds which have a rather peculiar smell, characterised by some as being similar to natural gas. (more in wiki)

keladi kemahang

"Nama Kemahang diberi bersempena sejenis tumbuhan yang dikenali sebagai kemahang. Sehingga kini masih terdapat pelbagai spesis keladi di Kemahang. Keladi jenis kemahang juga terdapat di kampung berhampiran spt Budu,Tg Besar,Chat dan Peruang. Keladi kemahang boleh dibeli di pekan sari Benta pada setiap ahad. Keunikan keladi jenis kemahang di Kemahang ialah tidak berasa gatal apabila dimakan. Sekiranya dimakan dan terasa gatal maka sahlah bukan keladi yg dipetik dari Kg Kemahang." - sumber dari Sinar Harian 27 Julai 2011.

breakfast time

Lemang

Lemang is my most favourite dish during Hari Raya or Eid.

Lemang is a traditional glutinous rice food and dish that is always found and served during the Eid. Commonly it is served with chicken or beef rendang.

It is made of glutinous rice and coconut milk and cooked in a hollowed bamboo stick lined with banana leaves in order to prevent the rice from sticking to the bamboo.

If you want to know more on how lemang is made and cooked please click here.

* rumah siapa yang masih ada lemang di raya ke-8 ni bagi tau lah keh..Keh nak serang..!

Bazar Ramadhan - Benta

Location: Bazar Ramadhan, Benta

Every year bazar ramadhan has been organised widely nationwide by the local authority. It's held constantly throughout ramadhan.

There is a variety of foods sold from a simple type of traditional malay kuih to exclusive Malaysian cuisines.

roti canai

a unique roti canai stall located at Level 3 of Lipis Centerpoint.

Roti canai or prata bread is a form of puffed bread serverd hot with curry or dhal. Usually taken for breakfast together with teh tarik.

Lately there are various improvements (with additional ingredients) used on plain roti to suit Malaysians. For example roti telur bawang (eggs and onions), roti planta (butter), roti sardin, roti bawang (onions), roti tampal ( sticked eggs) and so on.

Mr. Pietra and his wife, the tourists from Austria, are relaxing after having their roti sardin.

Tapai

Tapai is made from steamed glutinous rice with an addition of yeast and glucose. The concoction is packed and then incubates to fully fermented prior to serving. Traditionally offered during the wedding banquet, or taken as a snack at home.

Glutinuous tapai is one of our traditional food. This kind of food/snack is very popular in the east coast of Malaysia.

The taste is very sweet.

*aku sebut tapai. ada setengah kawasan kampung di lepih ni panggil tapei(tapir). macam-macam bunyi! haha!

petai

Parkia speciosa (petai, bitter bean,sataw, twisted cluster bean, yongchaa, yongchaak, zawngtah or stink bean), is a plant of the genus Parkia in the family Fabaceae. It bears long, flat edible beans with bright green seeds the size and shape of plump almonds which have a rather peculiar smell, characterised by some as being similar to that added to methane gas.

Petai ni memang kesukaan aku. Kalau petai jeruk tu aku ratah je. Tak payah makan dengan nasi. Pernah juga aku makan petai jeruk dengan aiskrim vanilla. Haha!

Berdasarkan kajian, buah petai yang berbintil-bintil pada papannya dikatakan mengandungi kadar protein dan lemak yang tinggi berbanding tumbuhan hutan yang lain, iaitu sebanyak 8 peratus, 11 peratus karbohidrat, 71% air, banyak mengandungi kalsium, fosforus, zat besi, vitamin A, B1, B2 dan C.

Sebenarnya kandungan pemakanan biji petai berbeza mengikut umur dan kesegaran bijinya. Buah petai yang kecut ataupun bijinya tidak membulat mempunyai kandungan khasiatnya kurang. Dalam perubatan tradisional Melayu, biji petai dipercayai berkesan untuk merawat penyakit jantung dan penyakit kencing manis, mencuci buah pinggang, serta untuk mengeluarkan cacing daripada kanak-kanak yang kecacingan.
