Sabah Food Hunt Part 6 ~ BBQ Jagung

On the way to Kudat, most of the people fall asleep except my sis and me. In a far distance, I already saw some smokes coming out from the stall at the roadside. I wonder what are they selling. I asked my sister to have a look as well. Then we found out that they are selling some fresh maize, bananas and also sweet potatoes.

After stop by TIP of BORNEO at Kudat. We went to the nearby town to search for lunch. But after browsing through we decided to skip as nothing much there. When we approaching this stall again, every one is interested to stop. Guess every one is craving for the "BBQ Jagung". lol

After browsing through the stall, we ordered every one "BBQ Jagung". And they do it on the spot. Following are the way they BBQ the "Jagung":

If you are the "Jagung" fans........ you must try this...... It is very sweet. And we watch the lady bbq the "Jagung". And she did not apply anything on top of the "Jagung". She just bbq it straight away when we ordered it.

If you are eating on the spot, she will help you to peel off the skin. But have to be careful as it is very hot. lol Since the jagung is too hot, my gal and myself have to use some tissue papers to hold it. lol But the rest of them, just eat directly. lol

On the spot, we ate two pieces of "Jagung" each. lol Then we take away another 10 pieces back too. The lady told us if we want to take away, then she will not help us to peel off the skin. As she said that way, the corn will still maintain it's aroma.

Then I asked the lady, why she did not sell "BBQ sweet potatoes" and she told me the sweet potatoes take longer time to prepare. So they only sell "BBQ Jagung".

The BBQ Jagung cost RM1/piece.

After finished our BBQ Jagung, we continue our journey back to KK. But when we passed by another stalls, mum want to have a look of their bananas. She is trying to find her favourite bananas since Day 2 of our trips. lol but unfortunately she can't find it during our trip in KK.

Then we stop by this stall, and mum is browsing through the banana and the auntie there asked whether we want "Jagung Manis" and "Jagung Pulut". This attracted me....... huh...... "Jagung Pulut"? I know what we ate previously is "Jagung Manis". Then what is "Jagung Pulut"? So we ordered two pieces since every one just ate two pieces of jagung each.
Da..... Da..... Da...... Da.......

This is "BBQ Jagung Pulut".

Close up of "BBQ Jagung Pulut".

The tastes vice is very blunt. Lucky that I only ordered two pieces. The shape of the "Jagung Pulut" is also very "mini". lol

Then mum....... cannot resist any more and she bought the following bananas from the stall:

Hubby comments that the "Ang Bak" banana look very "red" in colour compares to the one sell in Penang. So I took the pictures just to show the redness but unfortunately, it is too bright at the background. And you cannot see quite clearly. :(

Anyway, the tastes vice is very sweet.
