The Parkia Speciosa..

or better known as “Petai” is very popular in southern Thailand, Indonesia and we Malaysian should know one. I have a friend who loves to eat petai with the sambal. To be frank, i don’t like petai coz i don’t like the smell. No thank you. Really terrible I tell you. But I do like durians & tempoyak. Heh.

I’m so surprise when i read the 19 wonders of Petai in that blog.

I guess it depends on how you prepare/cook it also lah… If eaten directly with sambal maybe the smell is a bit harsh for most people. Try this link http://kuali.com/recipes/morerecipe.asp?ino=1&ing=Petai for some nice Petai dishes.

[Me : Yea. Means, u like Petai?]

Hi Andy! mmmm petai! Love it. Funny how when I was a little boy I don’t like stuff like this. Now I’m so far away from home, I enjoy smelly food like petai. Tasty even on its own, does horrible things to your breath though.
