Fig nasi lemak, the latest hit in Janda Baik
Fig nasi lemak, the latest hit in Janda Baik
If Cameron Highlands is known for its ‘strawberry nasi lemak’, Janda Baik here has its own ‘fig nasi lemak’ inspired from its new agricultural product.
The recipe for nasi lemak with ‘sambal tumis’ cooked with figs is the brainchild of Faiz Farhan Yahya, 28, who took months to experiment to get the “taste that meets the Malaysian standard”.
Faiz Farhan, who graduated from the Food Institute of Malaysia in pastry, said his family members and close friends were the greatest critics as he sought the right flavour.
"The ‘sambal tumis’ cooked with figs is truly special because it is a balanced taste that is spicy, yet you can still taste the fruit but not too strong which could drown the original taste of ‘sambal tumis’.
"Its preparation requires patience as it takes 12 hours to cook it over low heat and must be stirred every half hour," he told Bernama when met at the fig farm, Benefigs, in Janda Baik.
“The long time taken to cook the ‘sambal’ is to ensure the taste of the fruit is well-blended, besides applying the old folk’s tip that the ‘sambal’ tastes better if cooked long,” he added.
Faiz Farhan said aside from figs, other ingredients used were red onions, garlic, chilli and “some secret ingredients" to produce his own original recipe.
"My hope is this fig nasi lemak will be a must-try dish for those visiting Janda Baik. It is also a diversification of the fruit, which is usually eaten fresh or dried.
"Why nasi lemak? Obviously because nasi lemak is Malaysians’ favourite dish and can be eaten at any time," he said, adding that he was also working on a home-based food business in Kelana Jaya, Selangor.
Faiz Farhan said the idea of using figs was also inspired by the experience of spending time at the fig farm of his friend, Mohamad Hafidz Arifin, 33, a strong supporter of his efforts.
Asked on the price, Faiz admitted that he was still looking for a formula to reduce the price, as the fig nasi lemak was selling at RM9.50 to RM10.90 for the time being, as the fig fruit was quite pricey.

Flying fox thrill at Bukit Tinggi
The Adventure Park at Colmar Tropicale has the longest flying fox line in Southeast Asia at 530 metres.
IF you are a thrill-seeker, make your way to the Adventure Park at Colmar Tropicale and try out their longest flying fox single zip-line in Southeast Asia.
With a length of 530 metres, the Adventure Park made an entry into the Malaysia Book of Records recently.
Malaysia Book of Records chief executive officer Aziz Hamdan presented the certificate to Berjaya Hills Bhd executive director Datuk Azlan Meah Ahmad Meah and the signing was witnessed by Colmar Tropicale chief executive officer Teh Ming Wah.
Teh said it took them six months of planning and another eight months to construct the contraption which cost a total of RM2 million.
"We want to attract more locals and international tourists by creating an unforgettable experience for them," she said adding that a special certification will be made available to them as proof of their participation.
The flying fox consists of four checkpoints and at each point, staff members are available for assistance.
Prior to the start of the event, each participant has to put on safety gear and follow the safety instructions strictly.
To get to the launch point, participants have to walk up the stairs built behind the rock climbing wall.
Once they reach the top platform, they have to go through two canopy walks, one person at a time.
The journey does not stop there as they the have to then climb a tree.
A deck is specially built around the middle of the tree and participants have the option of standing or sitting down.
Those who are not afraid of heights are welcome to stand and enjoy the beautiful scenery while those who are can opt to sit on the deck and not look down.
To participate an individual has to weigh at least, 45kg with a maximum weight of 120kg.
"If the riders weigh less than 45kg, they will have a difficult time reaching the other side," said Teh adding that more than 500 have tried it since it was first opened in 2011.
Aziz who tried this activity for the first time said although he was a bit nervous earlier he was excited about getting chance to experience this.
The fee for the flying fox is RM78 for each person and the park is open from 10am to 6pm.
Other activities such as paint ball, rock climbing, the canopy bridge walk and high rope obstacle course are also available.
The activities at the Adventure Park requires no electricity or motors.
Its design works to create a healthy, environmentally friendly, recreational venue.
Getting ready for take off on the flying fox.
