Serian’s Local Market, Sarawak
The last time I was back in Kuching, my friends and I went up to Serian, a small town about 60 kilometers from Kuching city. The town is known for its durians however, I didn’t see any durians this trip.
Here are some pictures of local fruits and vegetables that you can get in Sarawak.
Assortment of Local Rice
One of my favourite local vegetable, Midin.
Buah Salak. I’m not sure what it is called in English but it’s got a rough exterior,reminds me a bit of scales and the flesh inside is soft and cream coloured.
From the left, we have fresh lemongrass, buah terung (local aubergines- it’s tastes a bit different from the Japanese aubergines…its tastes sour and is usually used to cook Assam fish head curry) and cucumbers.
One of the many types of bananas that you get in Malaysia-Pisang Emas (Golden bananas)
