COOKING
a LOCAL/KADAZAN FEAST First Session: 15 Dec 2011 (photos & comments) strictly non-halal courses This is a 1/2-day tour and cooking lesson
tailored to our
many visitors to Sabah, who are keen to learn & sample the
local
Kadazan cuisine. Currently, there is no local Sabah native
restaurants in Kota Kinabalu. Halal versions of selected dishes are
typically available in local coffeeshops & food centres only.
Your
instructor is a local Kadazan grandmother with vast catering
experience. Aunty Maria speaks good English, articulate &
friendly. Alternatively, our resident Malaysian Chef will conduct the
session. Other guest local home-cooks may be invited to present a
session.These sessions are held only on Thursdays and Saturdays starting with a 07:00am meeting at our local TAMU (farmers' market). Your host chef will introduce you to our varied local rices, vegetables, fruit, seafood & meats (including wild boar) at the market. We will select and purchase our required ingredients for the cooking lesson fresh from the market stalls. The group will then adjourn to our home "cooking school". The session will be conducted in a typical village household kitchen NOT in a professional cooking school setup. Non-cooking partners will have an option of a tour of Penampang district and return for lunch. Pre-arrangement is required. The cooking session (about 3 hours) will introduce authentic Penampang Kadazan dishes in a home setting. The maximum participation size will be 6 persons only. The session will be both instructional and hands-on. We shall cook several of the following dishes (subject to availability of ingredients) HINAVA (pickled raw fish) NAPO do PAKIS (vegetable fern with dried shrimp) (sayur manis with garlic) (eggplant with dried shrimp sambal) (pineapple & cucumber salad) GINULING KANGKONG om BALASAN (kangkong wok-fried with homemade belacan sambal) BASUNG, SANTAN om KUNYIT (sardines cooked in coconut milk & tumeric) PUKU do NANGKO (pork stew with young jackfruit) SUP MANUK on LIHING (chicken cooked in sweet rice wine) (boiled local rice) TABAZAG om PIASAU (pumpkin & sweet potato in coconut milk) (pancake) ...... and more and .... to have a good time cooking all these things! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Everyone (including children) are welcome to join in these very informal
