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.

Booking Grab ride in Malaysia? Submit selfie first
Booking Grab ride in Malaysia? Submit selfie first
All Grab users in Malaysia will soon have to do a one-time selfie verification in order to use the app in the country. This is to fulfil regulatory requirements.
It will be similar to what new Grab users in Singapore are already doing, and a company spokesman said yesterday that Singaporeans would also have to comply with the Malaysian rule when using the app across the Causeway.
Grab, through an announcement on its Malaysian app and its website, informed users recently that the compulsory measure will be in place by July 12.
The website message read: "The selfie is for identity verification, safety, and may be used to assist the authorities when required. Grab ensures that your selfie and identity are secure and will not be shared with our driver-partners and merchants."
Grab added that explicit permission would be sought before any access to users' cameras.
Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke had last July announced that, as part of new rules, passengers would have to upload valid identification card or passport details when they register for a ride-hailing account. He gave a year's grace to meet the requirements.
Grab adopted facial recognition technology to meet the new rule, with first-time users required to submit a selfie of themselves before booking a ride.
The Star daily reported that the new requirement has already helped solve a robbery-cum-murder case involving a Grab driver. Two suspects were nabbed in connection with the death of Mr Mohd Hanafiee Jaafar, who was robbed and killed on the job last month.
The incident resulted in drivers fearing post-midnight trips and avoiding areas deemed dangerous, The Star said.
Within Singapore, Grab users who signed up before February this year did not have to go through selfie verification, with their identities verified by either their Facebook account or credit card details.
But new users signing up from February have had to submit selfies to successfully open their accounts.
The Grab spokesman said: "These are part of our ongoing efforts to ensure high safety and security standards on our platform for both our customers and driver-partners."
Singaporeans who use Grab during trips to Malaysia told ST that they did not mind submitting a selfie so long as it was used solely for verification purposes.
Ms Wong Shi Hui, 25, who works in events management and visits Malaysia every three months, said: "It is good that measures are in place to protect drivers as well. Selfies seem harmless enough if they can ensure a safe ride for everyone."

New VMY 2020 logo to be unveiled this month
New VMY 2020 logo to be unveiled this month
The logo for Visit Malaysia 2020 will be unveiled during the national-level Hari Raya open house at the Royal Museum in Kuala Lumpur on June 22.
“The Prime Minister himself chose the logo on the eve of Hari Raya.
“The theme and logo will be unveiled then,” Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik said during his Hari Raya open house at SMK Pondok Upeh here yesterday.
A total of 586 entries were submitted for a design competition in March.
The design will also symbolise the various attractive ecotourism products in Malaysia.
Early last year, the Visit Malaysia 2020 logo did not go down well with social media users, as they generally felt that the design was not up to standard.
The emblem featured a cartoon of an orang utan in sunglasses hugging a proboscis monkey, a silhouette of the Petronas Twin Towers and a turtle on a beach, also wearing sunglasses. It included a caption: “Travel. Enjoy. Respect.”
Muhammad Bakhtiar said that events meant for Visit Malaysia 2020 would be required to be coordinated with the secretariat in charge of the campaign.
“This is to ensure it does not clash with other events under Visit Malaysia 2020,” he said.
He was responding to the proposal to bring BTS, a K-pop group, to the country for the celebration next year.
In April, Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman had promised to bring the boy band to Malaysia and Tan Sri Tony Fernandes was tasked to deliver on this pledge.
Yesterday’s Raya open house was jointly hosted by Muhammad Bakhtiar, who is also the Balik Pulau MP, together with Pulau Betong assemblyman Mohd Tuah Ismail and Teluk Bahang assemblyman Zolkifly Md Lazim.
