The Simpur


The Simpur, found mainly in the interior, growing wildly among other vegetation, highly distinctive leaves, fruits and flowers. The leaves are used to wrap the local food 'tapai', or can be use to wrap fishes and meat (pais ikan or daging), they make a very good disposable plate as well. It bear the fruit first which then bloomed to flowers. According to the old folks the fruits are eaten by the mousedeer (pelanduk) as one of their favourite, so during this rainy season and flooding, "pelanduk" will be out and about searching for these. It is common that, this time of the year is quite popular with the hunters.
