Living Off The (Prickly) Sea, Kampung Kesuapan, Kota Kinabalu | Slumfood Millionaire | Malaysia

The residents of Kampung Kesuapan on Gaya Island come from generations of sea gypsies from Southern Philippines, known as the Bajau. Home cooks Zaiton and Jalinah show us their traditional cuisine - creamy pufferfish stew, umami sea urchin rice and tender tapioca cakes. These are the bastions of proud migrant cuisine going strong in a water village that is shunned by the Kota Kinabalu mainland.

[@yanputra83]

As a Sabahan myself I'm quite shameful for having that exact thought about people in Pulau Gaya. I've never tried their food before except for the latok.

[@loviegilbert4428]

Yes. I agree with you

[@rhyanjill]

Latok is pretty much everywhere in the Philippines though not considered as a staple food but some kind of food you occasionally eat. Here in Luzon, we call it "Lato", and you can actually eat it right as you lifted it out of the ocean if you're not icky with sand and all the stuff that goes in there lol. Very delicious with vinegar. Also, I believe some of the recipes and cooking techniques shown here originated from the Austronesians. Most of the rice cooking techniques and recipes in the whole of Asia are associated to the Austronesians after all. Specifically, her method of steaming is similar to the method of cooking "Puto (from the term Putu) Bumbong", and that is very similar to foods in other countries where the Austronesians spread out their genes like Indonesia, Malaysia, etc. It's really interesting since you can pretty much see the migration patterns by analyzing food. Incidentally, Tapioca is spread around in Asia by the Portuguese and Spanish. That's why you will see its wide use in the Philippines because the Philippines was colonized for 300 years.

With tapioka. It is yummy! Sea urchin is either smoked in fire or just opened and scooped out eaten raw. Anyone that knows how to eat it, knows how to open and eat it. Even kids.

My reaction,speechless and i was wrong all the time,i feel bad and tell my wife that im sorry,my wife says 'the people only came here will see the difference'.

I´m Tausug The PUJU is what we call ¨sianglag¨ and ¨Pyutu¨ in soüthern part of the Philippines and we put grated fresh coconut meat with it instead of oil. Latok is what we call ¨gamay¨. I can see that there are lots of similarities on the way we cook our food. I believe we belong in one group and was just devided by countries in this region. Badjaos and sama laut here in the philippines are commonly identified as lower class as the government does not really care about them. The Philippines that you commonly see in the media only promotes the northern cultures and cuisines that are influenced by colonizers. It´s funny that my family is devided by 4 nations.

For a long time we've been patient and relatively accommodating of these villages, trying to solve this trash problem, failing a few times before because of their unwavering habits. Now, as the accommodating host, how do you think we feel when we see them putting the blame on us when we've been trying to help them?

of coz la org pulau gaya mmg biasa buang sampah ke bawah sebab nanti kontraktor DBKK akan kutip tu sampah. kalau tak faham guna google translate.

I love the sea, the smell, the sound of the waves. I love being on a boat and swim in the sea. And I love fishing. I am actually jealous of the freedom of these people. The lady speaks Malay/Indonesian and I can understand most of what was said except of terms of food indigenous to their culture. And their food looks delicious. And I am very familiar with tapioca boiled and eaten with sambal belacan and their young leaves too. Love to see the simpler side of life.

This youtube channel is so refreshing.. although it has no host to narrate, the show itself is more than enough to tell the beautiful story of the documentary. you earn a new subscriber and I am looking forward to watch more like this.

I got to know a Bajau dive master who was sharing with us about their diet and culture. To see this video is as if his words came to life! Thank you so much for this piece!!

Proud and happy to say most of my work mates hail from the villages of Pulau Gaya! They are some of the most amazing cooks, and hardworking people who knows how to do many things that I've ever met. Definitely sharing this video with them haha kudos!

[@bryantbator5703]

My favourite documentaries by far

[@krisanggapratama311]

Interesting how their Malay dialect is very similar to some part of Sulawesi/Celebes in Indonesia considering they are sea gypsies from southern Philippines, showing SEA countries is closely related.. love from Indonesia

[@kingofj9079]

Yep. From phil here i cant really understand them clearly but i can still hear words thats familiar. Like buwan, latu, tuyom, mahal etc

[@santbibliophile]

The Sama Bajau people are a group of seafaring ethnic tribes located between Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. They all are from these three countries.

[@wakakabravo7998]

Because majority of sabahan are not Malay, so they mostly speak in formal Malay language jusk like Indonesian and add a bit of their tribe slang.

Im a filipina and lived in a southern part of the philippines,the puffer fish or deyng buntal we call on our language is one of my fave dish, cook with turmeric ,sagul we call it we eat with a fried cassava or tompe put calamasi or lime juice and chilis then boom.

Bajau are the sea people, aka Orang Laut. Protect them at all costs!

[@Klaharnchaiya]

Bajau has many sub ethnics... In sabah state, Bajau is the 2nd largest demographic after kadazandusun.. Yes they are included as bumiputera .in other case, the sea gypsies bajau laut in semporna are stateless and undocumented..
