Was looking for recipe on turnips and found your recipe which is very close to my mum’s. I have just retired and beginning to be interested in cooking. Hence regret did not take much notice of mum’s cooking. Thank u so much for your interesting website,which makes me feel very nostalgic as the recipes of most of the dishes reminded me so much of my mum, who has passed away.

OoH..go to Pasar Malam in Serdang. They do sell miding, but what a miserable bundle of fully open laddle-heads. Well, can simmer down my once-in-a-while cravings, although not as nice as the still curled laddle-heads midin. We do have some farms cultivating this midin in Sarawak a few years ago. But nothing beats the thrill of hoisting my ‘tambok’ (dayak basket) and scouring the bush and shrubs for this delicious sayur. We stir-fried them in belacan, yes, and add in oyster mushrooms, the brown fungus all freshly picked from the wild!

Miding grows abundantly along the highway to KLIA and LCCT from Serdang. It loves peat swamp. Want to make a trip for “putit paku midin” (picking midin ferns)here? So much fat ‘laddle-heads’ but nobody gathering them…

waa.. really miss this pucuk paku. for those this tryring to find it maybe u could try in pasar malam Taman Medan, PJ. i saw it last time.The makcik told me that the pucuk paku was brought from kelantan.Peninsular also have dis paku miding, but people prefer the another pucuk paku which is pakis perak. but i prefer this one. really not sooooo easy to get this one in KL and selangor. but we have it a lot in Johor.
