Does anyone know what does the Orang Asli in P. Malaysia eat? I understand they hunt and grow for what they need but how is their cuisine?
Are garlic and onion used a lot like in our cooking? Is it spicy? Lots of oil?
Appreciate any insight.
Thanks,
Vincent

Vinnie,
Here is my experience with the Orang Asli (OA) during my Army days,They love soya sauce (Kicap), the must have salt, and the cough mixture supplied by the Army medic.
During one of my Operation stint,in a Forward Support Base (FSB) on the border. We call in the Medic to look into the health of the OAs. The most popular medicine that was issued was the cough mixture.Everyone of the AO young or old,were coughing. The Medic dispense more than 30 liter of cough mixture.
I had a call from HQ to explain why so much cough mixture were dispense and that could the medicine have been given to the terrorist.
So I went into the OA camp to investigate and was astound to see everybody around the fire place roasting Tapioca (UBI KAYU) and looking stoned. They were using the Cough Mixture as a dip for the roasted Tapioca. Sheeedaap Tuan, cicah dengan madu…[:D][:D]
I guess this would tell u the favorite dip for Ubi Kayu.
Think of fishing as our life and the fish as air, we need them to survive as much as they need us to take care of their home.
LOL. Ok we try that during the next function in your house!

kalau codeine…reckon the Melayu will outwit the asli & pulun everything for themselves…btw, why your interest in the asli diet?
many asli in many location…you looking for nomadic jungle folks, semi nomadic tepi2 kampung clans, the semi urban half-settled communities or the setteled urban communities?
Yup doing some writing on food related subject on whether are they comfortable with our type of food. So far research on the web shows nothing much except for them hunting for small animals, cultivation of hill rice and ubi as main diet. But nothing on how they prepare it.
DEFINITELY no cough syrup was ever mentioned in those foreign and local uni papers, unless mejor wasn’t around when the uni researchers were there.
Looking more towards the nomadic ones; ones you meet fishing in the jungle. Not your type lah can make Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding lah!

Their new house at the settlemant
The lovely beach beside the settlement at Carey Island, a beaufiful place for Surfcasting…[:D]
Ok, here’s the interesting part. We befriended some of the orang asli when we goes for wild fowl hunting donkey years ago. We was introduce by the orang asli to eat a type of vegetables that kenot be found in the market. We was told that this ‘sayur’ got a lot of medicinal values in them by the orang asli so we took some back to try lo. Well, to our surprise the ‘sayur’ taste a little like gingeng so on our next trip, we ask for the ‘sayur’ roots. The ‘sayur’ root look really like ginseng and it definitely taste like one…[;)]

The Orang Asli are simple people and having lived with them for many years in the jungle, one can’t stop agreeing with them on their basic reasoning.Once while operating in the jungle in Perak many years ago.
I came across a group of Asli’s hunting party in the Jungle, cooking lunch,they had a pot of rice cooking, and once the rice was about to cook, they added some meat (maybe squirrel),some salt and ginger roots (found in the jungle)and pucuk Paku, then came in the ever favorite kicap. [:p]
Feeling pity on them, I gave them a can of Chicken curry and bake beans (Military Ration). The moment we gave them the item, they open it up with their parang and in came the curry and baked beans, into the same pot that they were cooking.[xx(]
Looking on in disgust at all the ingredient in one pot, my soldier ask them, why put everything in one pot and cook together?
The answer that came was..Quote :“.Makan nak kenyang tuan, masuk dalam perut pun campur jugga, tak kisah lah…masaak asing ke masaak sekali kan… shhama sajaa.”[:)]
Thats their resoning…sometimes I think they have a point there..[:0][:0]
Ps…Rainbow, the soap was Cammy, and that is a different story[;)](a survival must equipment)

vincent bro,
a fishing mate who married an asli girl brought his bro-in-law to a ten course chinese dinner with us. after the third dish which is shark fin soup. he felt sick and had to go to the washroom to throw up.
asked him what was his problem his reply was the food was not nice woh.[:D]
Thanks pulsar13 for the clarification. What exactly is meant by native? Are they not Malay people (race)? Or do you mean Malay people who are still living in jungles and have not got civilized like the others living in cities? Just curious [:)]
Thanks and regards
Sualeh
