🌸 Durian Flowers – A Unique Sarawakian Delicacy! 🌸
Just before durian season, something magical happens in Sarawak – the durian trees burst into bloom, and their delicate flowers gently fall to the ground. These blossoms aren’t just beautiful; they’re also edible treasures, eagerly collected by local communities.At the market, you can find them sold for around RM5–RM8 per plate (and yes, you’ll pay a little extra if you want the stamens removed for you 😉).
💡 How do Sarawakians enjoy durian flowers?
✨ Stir-fried with belacan (shrimp paste) or dried chilli and garlic for a fragrant kick.
✨ Lightly blanched and served as ulam (salad) with spicy belacan dip.
✨ Or, the latest creative twist – coat the calyx in batter, deep fry, and you’ve got crispy golden fritters that are absolutely perfect for tea time!
From traditional to modern, durian flowers prove that Sarawak’s food culture is always full of surprises. Would you dare to try them? 👇
