Kampung Orang Asli Serigala Indigenous Food
I’ve been to quite a number of indigenous villages around Malaysia, so I am no stranger to their traditional cuisine.
As a delegate of the Eat.Travel.Write Selangor International Culinary Adventure 3.0 delegation, I had the opportunity to not only visit Kampung Orang Asli Serigala (Wolf Village) in Sg. Selisek, Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor, but also learn how their dishes are prepared.
If you know of the traditional ayam pansuh dish, then these are not much different.
They are also prepared using bamboo shoots over a slow fire. The dissimilarity is with the contents placed into the shoot.
Here are rice and two species of fish. Since no seasoning was used, these dishes tasted original.
After savouring these, a lot of ideas came to my mind on how to enhance their tastes with seasoning, adopting the same style of cooking.
Cooking in a bamboo is very convenient for those who camp out in the jungle. The bamboo, after splitting into half, can also function as a plate.
If one day you swing by this way, do drop by Kampung Orang Asli Serigala to enjoy the traditional way of life of these indigenous people.

Such an interesting way to cook the food.. Bamboo fragrance is really aroma.. Nice
Their food similar to the traditional food of Iban, in Sarawak! Food that cooked inside the bamboo really taste naturally sweet 😀
I have tried bamboo rice before, they taste nice. but I have not tried bamboo fish, wish to try it one day
Ayam pansuh taste good, I eager to try the bamboo fish..does it taste like stim fish?
that looks so interesting.. glad to head you have so many interesting experiences.. I can only hope that I will have my share of these kind of experiences one of these days….
@shamiera osment,
Oh yes, it is like steam fish but it tastes more original due to lack of sauces.
Didn’t know about this until I read your post, thanks for the info sharing 🙂
Wow I want to try the bamboo fish its look so special. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.
Cooking fish in a bamboo? That looks interesting! Orang Asli are really resourceful.
That is certainly an interesting and creative way of cooking – I would have never thought of it. But would really love to experience it for it certainly would be one of a kind.
