Ayam pansuh is a traditional Iban dish, cooked by filling a bamboo tube with chicken pieces, mushrooms, cassava leaves and lemongrass, and slow-roasting it over a fire. The roasted chicken is surprisingly soft and tender, with a fresh flavour of bamboo and lemongrass that makes you want to drink the broth. Bamboo fish and beef are also cooked in the same way, so the natural ingredients are naturally delicious. The Iban from western Borneo always prepare this dish at Gawai Dayak.
If you want to try the best chicken feet in Bintulu, I would recommend you to go to Spring Garden Cafe, which has been open for more than 20 years. The chicken feet here are not brined or stewed like in other places but it’s fried chicken feet. Although the chicken feet are deep fried, the skin is not too hard, and they are very tender and juicy. They use their special sauce to marinate the chicken feet, so the flavour of the chicken feet is different and varied flavour from other places.
