Cinnamon powder+Coffee 'O'.

Hi..

Have you heard about cinnamon/"kayu manis"? I have read The Borneo Post dated 5th March 2009 that cinnamon will be planted at Ba`Kelalan.

Some of the community get used to mix the cinnamon powder or its bark with the coffee. I have tried it before..the smell is really nice. You have to boil the water with the cinnamon powder and then poured it into coffee. Add some sugar. The aroma combination is good enough to make your day great!

I have some pictures of cinnamon powder to share with you :

Enjoy!

Homemade Tongkat Ali coffee (Eurycoma longifolia)

Have you see "3 in 1" Tongkat Ali coffee sachet? Good ehh..

Why don`t you make your own tongkat ali coffee..tea..tec.. Your creativity. Mixed with chicken la..

"Shhh....tongkat ali boleh kasi kuat woo" I heard this conversation when i was at Brickfield. Some of us might know the place but just forget it..disease of soul yea.

Here i have some. Enjoy.

Scientifica name : Eurycoma longifolia

Local name : Tongkat Ali

Popularly used as an aphrodisiac and to treat ompotence and hypertension. Well known for its "inner strengh xxx"...shhh...diam sikit bah.

Method :

1. Boil a few thin slices of the root in water to make drink. The root extremely bitter.

2. You can also mixed it with coffee/tea to reduce the bitter taste. I prefer mixed it with coffee, the ratio 1:10, meaning to say the concentration to put into coffee is less.

3. Apply it only once or twice a week is really good enough. The recent scientific research found that regularly apply it will give kidney failure.

Ajinomoto Orang Ulu/"Daun Bekai"-Kenyah Language

Hi..i`m back with new plant.

Kenyah tribe called it "Daun Bekai".

They used in cooking, similarly like Ajinomoto... First, they have to dried the leaves direct to sunlight. When it totally dried, they have to crush the leave into small particle. The dried leaves have to keep in the container so that the air won`t degrade its quality.Usually they mixed it with tapioca leaves and young bamboo shoot. Yummie..yummie....

Enti kitai Iban, dikumbai kitai "daun tubu". Nyadi daun tu dijembui ba mata panas sampai ia rangkai kering. Pengudah nya, daun tu disimpan dalam botol awaka ia tan lama. Kati chara nguna ia? Daun tubu tu tadi deka diancur ngena lesung sampai alus. Pengudah nya tau digulai dalam sayur daun ubi tauka tubu. Enti udah dicampur ngau daun tubu/bekai tu, dia daun ubi lebih agi lembut.
