Ulat Mulung

I was in Mukah several weeks ago for work. It is still that quaint little town by the river and sea that I remember it to be. I had the opportunity to stop at the fish market to get some much-missed fish, like the Terubok (need to know more? google it for gawdsake). Yea, the terubok is a Sarawakian favourite. Not much of them left in the waters though because of excessive fishing in the Sarawak Rivers (so I read somewhere). 

Anyways, what I was keen to find as well, was the Ulat Mulung. You know? Ooo-lat Moo-long? Ok, another name for it is Rhynchophorus Ferrugineus (damn that was hard to type!).

Here's the Ulat Mulung...

So, I finally got my hands on some Ulat Mulung, but the smoked type. When I got home, I tried it and it was superb. However, I had to stop because I was getting rashes. Damn it. So, if you ever have a chance to try this sago worm, you should. It's high in cholesterol though -- not really a healthy food. But try it. Am sure you'd like the squirmy things going in your mouth and into your belly.

Hee. uChickenshit.
