kedongdongA couple of days ago, I went to a friend's (Uehara at Ozato) orchard and picked all these kedongdong. These are just from one tree and she has 3 others. I managed only one tree. That is enough.
Uehara said they grow these kedongdong for fun. Watching the fruits are such joy for them! Actual fact is she has no idea how to eat it! Like all Japanese.
I'll pickle those big fruits and the rest I'll make some traditional dishes out of it like sambal belacan kedongdong, yummy and maybe fish curry kedongdong (same like my mom used to add green mangoes) or masak lemak pedas with ikan saba kedongdong.
Cooking is invention and I always invent new dishes combining the best of Japanese and Malay dishes.
Kedongdong haiku:
Sambal kedongdong
the smell of the belacan
is lost when alone.

ReplyDeleteDulu, belakang rumah my aunt ada sepohon pokok kedondong. Memang puas Zaini makan & menjeruk buah ni.
Wah, your friend just plant them for fun? Then all the fruits given to who?
lina,
ReplyDeleteshe just let the fruits drop. She is happy that I come and sweep the trees but I can only do so much.
Just to finish up the kedongdong, i use it to munch while resting, while watching TV or when sleepy with my writings.
Works like an alarm clock hehehe.
