Eat Like a Local Linopot Linopot refers to rice that is steamed in a leaf, usually the Doringin or leaf from the tarap tree, which are big enough to wrap around the rice. Traditionally, the hill rice is mixed with boiled yams or sweet potato so it takes on a purplish or brown hue from the root vegetables. Nowadays, people use white rice. The mixture is then compacted well into a roundish shape. Linopot is very popular during the old days because villagers can easily bring their rice along to work at farm and jungle. However, it is not easy to find linopot nowadays but you can see them during festive celebrations such as wedding or Harvest Festival or a food gathering of Kadazandusun people. Losun Losun is one of the traditional dishes that travelers should try when in Keningau. Losun have less of a pungent taste than normal spring onions and is widely available in the interior jungles of Borneo. What makes this dish so special is how it is fried with bunga kantan or torch ginger buds, garlic chives, white chillies, garlic and white pepper, and sometimes anchovies. Not obtrusive on the palate, and a staple for those who have had it throughout their childhood, it’s an under-rated quintessential Kadazandusun dish. It is often had with linopot of wild rice, and hinava for a combination of all the best flavours. Losun can be found ready-to-eat at most of Kadazan coffee shops and Keningau weekly tamu. Basung Basung is just big-eyed scads; the same fish often used in pinasakan, but it is deep fried until they are crunchy. The fish is simply marinated and then fried. Dip into chili and lime juice and you can have the whole fish including the bones. Butod Butod refers to sago worms that are found feeding on the insides of the sago palm tree, a few months before they turn into beetles. It is said that these wriggly creatures that feed on the decaying pith of the sago tree is a solid protein source and is very nutritious. To eat it, you can pluck it straight from the tree, grab its hard head (to avoid eating it) and bite it off. Its insides will come bursting out, and has been described as “creamy” but not pungent or particularly foul. Some find the skin a bit chewy. 54
