The Bidayuhs call it "Tepus". I search through the net, it is a ginger family plant found in the wild.
The Tepus are sliced off its skin and then cut to small cubes. It got a type of sap which will bring thread forms. But dont worry, just fry the tepus with garlic, minced meat or anchovies.
It is a very tasty vegetable from the wild. No chemicals at all. Good for health.
Etlingera coccinea its scientific name. To me it smells gingerish... extremely refreshing n taste very nice too.
