Rare Fruit @ Negeri Sembilan : Beluluk





Buah kabong
is the fruit of Arenga pinnata.   It is a delicacy in Negeri Sembilan, especially in the Kuala Pilah district where its named buah beluluk.  In Perak it is known as buah kanto, in Indonesia its called buah kolang-kaling.
 
The texture of buah beluluk is almost similar to buah atap ( Nypa fruticans ), or nata de coco.  Usually consumed raw as condiments in cendul, air batu campur, or air sirap.   In Kuala Pilah, beluluk and nira enau is mixed with coconut water to create a specialty drink called air jando pulang.
