Previously CH already introduced about the mouth-watering kelantan food "kau jam". Today, after the Woody MIA(Missing in action) incident, CH get to know Woody auntie better and she offered to cook us the kau jam for appreciating us for assisting her in searching of woody.
Let's CH explain kau jam in more detail. Kau Jam is a Thai word, the "kau" means rice, and "jam" means mix. The combination of "kau jam" means mix rice, in "scientific" term, they will call this chlorophyll rice. The rice is cooked with 7 kinds of herb juice, which makes the rice green in colour. The rice will be mixed with several vegetable like bean sprouts, cucumber, and long beans, red onion, fried minced coconut, and lemon grass(serai). The rice will be topped with Budu and then we can start to mix it(jam). The kau jam taste much better after it "jam" with steam kembung fish or fried ikan kuning.
* Budu - a kind of pickled fish sauce which similar to "cenceru"(pickled shrimp sauce). Budu is a fish version. Budu is to add with lime juice, chopped-chillis, and red onion before it served to mix with kau jam. Sour manggo is another option.
