This is another thing that amazed me..the beauty of mother nature! I wanna share here some of Borneo's exotic animals..hehe well up here is the piranha it was for sale at kapit fish market.. do you believe it? at first I did not believe it, but after I ask many people they said it is the world's famous freshwater predator fish that can be found mostly in Amazon river in Brasil and now its in Borneo.. wow..can belive they swim all the way here huh?hahahaha..Well I've asked some of the local fish monger and they said the fish is from Batang Ai somewhere in Sarikei. Well, this fish tastes kindda nice hehehe..I've eaten it and the taste is delicious..em how do it put this..it tastes like ikan bawal combined with talipia the tenderness of the fish is perfect and I can taste the sweetness of the piranha's flesh .
Next, this eel looking creature shown in the above picture is called "Tilan Sabang". It is one of the eel species and it is very hard to find because it is a very very rare fish. Well, this fish taste like erm how to put this..erm kindda like catfish or ikan keli and it is slimy like catfish. hehe and it tastes kindda like catfish but sweeter. The best way to cook this fish to enjoy the sweetness of the fish meat is by "pansoh". We marinade the "Tilan Sabang" with some salt and pepper and some herbs and we put them in a bamboo. Then we burn it under medium heat and wait it to cook! then Walla!
Next is "Ikan Tapah" very famous fish in my hometown due to its size and this is not the biggest that I've ever seen. For the record the Largest that I've ever seen is the head of this fish is as big as the big size pail and its length is approximately 2.5 meter.. Pretty damn big huh? Some say this fish is as scary as the legendary piranha. It makes me think twice to swim at Rejang River hehe but Rejang River is Safe.. don't worry.. Enough of that and lets talked about the taste of the fish.. hehehe ok the fish tastes erm how to say it tastes so nice!!!!!!! hehe sweet and tender and it is best way to cook it is steaming it. Trust me it's tastes so good that you'll come back to the fish market right after you eat it! youm2.. oh yea..this fish is very very hard to find..and it is very2 rare and the price of this fish per kg is about RM45-RM60. hehe
Ok..next is the soft-shell turtle or "labi-labi" hehe this turtle is very famous in my hometown and it is classified into two species, the river labi-labi and the swamp labi-labi. well the above picture is the swamp labi-labi. Usually we can tell the difference by the color of the shell. The darker shell is the swamp labi-labi while the white shell is the river labi-labi. Hehe..I've eaten this labi-labi and it tastes gooooooooodd!! hehe we can stir-fry it, make it as a soup or my favaorite..pansoh..hehe..oh yeah.. one myth about this labi-labi is that when it bit you, it will never let go..unless there's a thunder sound. Amazing huh?
Lastly, the picture above "kijang". Kijang hmm.. kijang meat is tender like a deer meat and it kindda taste like deer too. Kijang nowadays are very hard to find and their habitat are usually in the deep part of of the forest.
Ok that would be all...hehe..Enjoy!
