About Chicken Cooked in Bamboo
Kambatik Park documents ayam pansuh as a special chicken dish popular among the Bidayuh of Sarawak. Chicken is mixed with aromatics and young cassava leaves, then cooked inside a bamboo tube.
Shallots and chillies form the seasoning paste, with garlic, lemongrass and torch-ginger flowers adding fragrance. Salt seasons the chicken and leaves in the same preparation.
The bamboo contains the chicken and its cooking juices, while cassava leaves also cover the opening. The contents are removed and served hot, following the park cook’s documented presentation.
