aduh...sedapnya....best makan with sagu.... :-)
sup ponas keh cyn? :D. am going to get some sagu once i balik kuching this time ;)
ponas is vegetable soup thickened with grated cassava (ubi kayu)....your sup ikien with tiyung dayak, sedap makan with sagu.....do u mind if i ask, which kampung are you from?
cyn:
oku so krokong. let me guess, muu so singhai? :D
actually i myself never tried sup ponas, i only heard of it's description from other people..
sup ikien tiyung dayak man duoh sagu.. wet or the dry round one? (urgh.. i forgot the name)
yeh, memang betul tekaan anda....sepuluh markah! hehe
not sure if ponas is a bi-singhai thing.....i eat sup ikien tiyung dayak with transparent sagu....the dry tiny balls of sagu are melanau's specialty....
cyn:
"waduh, mosie tu sambal tiung inuh....adin oku jadi natong sambal tiung daya de madang de opui inuh....slurp"
haha!! your very first comment gave u away! i recognise ur bisinghai slang there ;)
if somebody mail it to you, will the customs there confiscate it?
for the sagu linut (transparent wet sagu) I like to eat it with sup tempoyak and serai.. :)~ aduh thinking abt it can make me go crazy sometimes haha!
btw, we have a Bidayuh/Sarawak specialty restaurant here in KL. Owned by a Bidayuh datin. It's called Restoren Pucuk Ubi. i have yet to try most of their food, but sometimes they host some of Sarawak event here in KL, and that's the time we 'lepas geram' .. hehe...
