Delicious Floss Tuhau

in #esteem • 6 years ago
My dear Steemians friends, few day ago, I bought this beautiful Tuhau at the Tamu(wet market). Tuhau is one of the most popular traditional food in Sabah. It's a wild ginger that grows in Borneo jungle and scientifically known as Etlingera Coccinea.

Although Tuhau is categorised a wild ginger, it does not taste anything like ginger at all. Some people, like me, may not like the tuhau because of it stringent and strong smell. It smells like the small beetle insect called “Posisang” in local Kadazandusun dialect. However, recently I tasted the fried version of this Tuhau and surprisingly, it was delicious. In fact, it is sell quite expensive at the Tamu (Wet Market).
