Monkey pot




Been in Kuching for 2 weeks plus now and been going around for rosary prayers in my housing area...so for two days i had seen this typical food..something local something different served on the table..







So basically this is what my mum and her friends introduce to me as "Periuk Kera" or in english is monkey pot/pitcher plant..is not exactly THAT pitcher plan that we all know but this is part of the pitcher plan being used...not mistaken is the leaves...i guess...in Iban is known as "Pok Yuk" Bidayuh is known as "Terambok"

Ingredients are nasi pulut or glutinous rice (IF i am not wrong again) soaked in water then is being stuff in those leaves and being steam until is done....thats the basic of making this food...something close to the Malay culture of ketupat.


P/S: Is food so it should be nice...:)
