Umai obor-obor

 Price: MYR 5.00

Maybe you’re used of eating sushi but here in Sarawak we also have our own ‘sushi’ as well. This is the dish for the brave. Introducing the Umai Obor-Obor  ( jellyfish umai ) which is originated by the Melanau etnhic. The umai dish is basically and typically made from fresh raw jellyfish marinated in citrus juice, such as lemon or lime, and spiced with aji or chili peppers. 

Additional seasonings, such as chopped onions, salt and coriander, may also be added. As the Umai  ( or also as known as CEVICHE ) is not cooked with heat, it must be prepared fresh to minimize the risk of food poisoning. But not to worry, with the complementary of the lime juice, the satiric acid itself will ‘cook’ the jellyfish to the safe chemical state where it is safe to be eaten. 

Guys, here’s the glitch… here we tolerate with the customer about the ceviche where they can actually choose what seafood to be made into umai. Isn’t it fantastic? Other than jellyfish, you can also choose fish and even shrimps or simply try them all
