Tamu Kudat ("tarap" fruit, durian,junk fruit and "bambangan" fruit season)

"Tamu" Kudat???

"Tamu" is a word that given by the native people of Sabah which is known as Rungus people. The definition of "TAMU" according to them is "to meet", "to discuss", or "to talk". The holistic meaning of it is a place for people to meet, to discuss and to have a talk..So amazing how a simple word "TAMU" had a special meaning. Isn't it?? hehe...

Description:
Tamu Kudat is held on tuesday( 3pm-9pm) and wednesday(morning-afternoon)

From my point of view, the season of these three types of special fruit is fall on August.. Why?? its because this tuesday when i was walking around at the "tamu" at Kuda(Sabah) with my mum and my cousin,Helda, I saw so many fruits was sitting on the covered floor...so,so attracted me.. +____+

("Tarap" fruit)
Im searching from the intenet about this species. But there is still no research I saw about the family of this fruit.. I analyze that the Durian and Jack Fruit are come from different family..Most probably this "tarap" fruit is also another type of family...Anyone can do research on its family by applying the knowledge which known as "systematic". I had learnt this course before in Universiti Malaysia Sabah..Its stressable and really take long time for those are unexpert like me...hehe...Its enough for me to do research and classified the insects into their family long time ago ( around 2008/2009) hehe..

"BAMBANGAN" fruit

This is my home made bambangan soup..I super duper really like this fruit...Its a species of mango fruit that is found in Sabah (Malaysia)..its really hard to find it in west Malaysia...And the size of this fruit is bigger than the mango...one would like its smell and flesh if you like to eat mango..=)

Ingredients : bambangan fruit, ikan bilis ( roasted), Monosodium glutamate, natrium chloride, water

very easy..you can try it at home...yummy!!
