HINAVA AND BAMBANGAN
HINAVA
Hinava is one of the most popular of the traditional dishes of the Kadazan-Dusun, the largest ethnic group in Malaysia. It is a traditional salad of this culture made with pieces of raw fish mixed with lime juice, ginger, red onion, bird’s eye chili, bitter gourd and shallot. Preparation for this dish is fairly simple. The fish will not be cooked with a flame but with the lime juice instead, so all raw materials must be washed beforehand.
One of the dishes from Sabah that had the most unique flavour was Bambangan. In fact, this is not necessarily a dish, but a fruit, that grows on the trees in the forest. Bambangan is a type of wild mango with brown skin and a somewhat pungent smell. This is not literally eaten fresh as a fruit but made into a pickle or cooked with fish for a distinctive flavour
