Rendang Daun Bertempoyak

Mum and I went to Kuala Pilah to get the ingredients for this dish, some are found in our backyard though. Its quite an interesting dish. Not one of my favourites... too much green, hahaha. Although I did have a taste and it does taste wonderful. I'm very sure it'll taste good with rice. Mum loves this dish. Lagi lagi ada tempoyak. Its a traditional Negeri Sembilan dish. Normally its a minimum of 7 types of leaves but you can have more than 7 types if you want.

I think this is more of a South East Asian dish, either that or its a very malay dish. Some of the leaves used in this recipe are found only in this region, although I might be wrong. I found the scientific names but somehow I don't think I'm gonna put them on the blog. Its a bit too scientific for my blood. So I guess this one is really for the people here in Malaysia and I think I'll do this one in malay.

All the leaves for this dish.
