Special food in Sarawak ( Penganan )

Freshly penganan is drained of its oil.

Simply made from all ingredients found in the ulu the Iban mother can literally make the best kuih penganan in the world!

 Today it is a popular street food all over Sarawak - in the capital Kuching and along the streets in Engkili and even in Kapit  and in a kitchen deep in the jungle  and up the river Rajang.

 It is found every day in Miri and we have it for breakfast or afternoon tea. Originally this was made for spirit worshipping or Miring.

 But today it is home cooked food. A comfort food which keeps the human soul happy and at peace with the world and fellow men. Its basic ingredient is freshly ground ( hand pounded I heard is best). 

Gula apong added to it gives it a beautiful colour and fragrant aroma.
