Back in those days, as most of the Dayaks are farmers and most farms are on the hilly parts or at the foot of the mountain, they normally will start their day as early as 6am to start their journey from home. This is so that they can start tending on their farm and utilized the cool temperature in the morning to do as much as they can. Because of that, they normally will have only a very light breakfast which consists of a grounded coffee and accompanied with cream crackers or quick fritters either at home or at the farm.
Lunch also normally was not a fussy affair. Normally each farm owners shall have a small hut for them to rest or cook. When the sun started to become too hot to bear, they will slowly started to collect some of the vegetables that they have planted within the farm. These shall be cooked either on open flame, stir fried or soup. The source of protein shall normally be either fermented wild boar, pork, fish, dry salted fish or food that they can keep in the hut without any refrigeration required. This shall also includes freshwater catch from a nearby stream. All food preparation is kept to a minimum so that they can get their midday rest and start back their work once the hot sun is bearable enough. As the source of vegetables are aplenty, this is why you can find more vege dishes in their diet, up to this day.
One of the common vegetables which is easy to be prepared on the farm and really tantalized the taste bud is the grilled eggplant with sambal belacan. Eggplant grilled on open flame produced a wonderful and sweet smokey aroma and it is what make this dish so special.
