One my my hubby's employee, Kak Su owns a bamboo bush in addition to they create cutting in addition to sell for this festive season. I asked her to transcend to me those that are equally good brusk to hold upwards sold. She gave me v :) But earlier hers got to me, I bought two at the farmer's market, large in addition to fat, customized the length inwards situ because the Pakcik had a saw amongst him. Normally bamboo for lemang is 2ft long, minimum. Some fifty-fifty attain 1 meter long. And when this pakcik saw me buying, he got truly curious in addition to asked me whether I desire to brand a money banking concern amongst the bamboo I bought from him, LOL.

1st attempt
Verdict:
I can't smell the bamboo. H5N1 chip dissapointed. It tasted similar ginger steamed chicken without whatever exceptional bamboo fragrance. I blame it on the baking for the lack of it. My hubby said this tasted similar a confinement dish.
The shallots, ginger or whatever truly smelled raw, tasted raw, although the chicken is overcooked (overcooked I blame myself because I didn't know how to run across the doneness in addition to cooked it for 1 threescore minutes equally read from this site ) My bamboo was dripping drops of H2O in addition to non gurgling, so I didn't know that's a sign.
You know how sometimes steamed chicken volition withal receive got its condiments tasting a chip raw fifty-fifty though the chicken is cooked. That variety of taste. The temperature only isn't high enough, fifty-fifty though I used a higher temp than what I saw.
Left: 1st attempt, Right: sec attempt
I wasn't real impressed amongst the get-go attempt. I knew what went wrong. And I made it unopen to other fourth dimension amongst the bamboo given to me my Kak Su. Smaller inwards size, so I used 2 pieces of bamboo to gear upwards for a meal. I also made unopen to modifications equally inwards I added carbohydrate to residual amongst the ginger, added chilli, used less turmeric leaf, marinated the chicken amongst H2O added in addition to close of all, added inwards unopen to mushrooms (refered here). I skipped the cassava shoot stuffing, I know that is non that right, don't shoot me for it.

2nd attempt
Verdict:
I loved no2 better. The carbohydrate in addition to mushrooms added a to a greater extent than balanced flavour to it. I prefer the estrus from chilli compared to pepper. And less turmeric leafage was to a greater extent than acceptable to my married adult man in addition to less turmeric leafage also allowed us to savor other flavours better. The ginger, shallots in addition to garlic didn't sense of savor raw this fourth dimension in addition to peradventure the high temp baking truly did move wonders to 'sweeten' those aromatics. The overall sense was delicious in addition to prissy in addition to the aroma was agency better. 220C seems high, but to roast a chicken(exposed), yous create demand such a temperature to convey the chicken to aroma good, activate the "fats" in addition to larn the bamboo smelling good. It's similar a high temperature browned chicken prior to frigidity roasting does brand the chicken aroma a lot to a greater extent than heavenly, right?
Since it's withal Raya month, popular past times a lemang stall in addition to inquire for a slice of bamboo, larn habitation in addition to evidence making this. I've seen bamboo sections inwards Jusco equally good final week. Not certain if it's withal available now. If yous bought lemang, peradventure yous tin recycle the bamboo :p
If I were to brand this again, I'll evidence it amongst daun bungkang (daun salam) in addition to run across how unlike is the taste.
