Bosou Tuhau Om Lombiding

Lirik: Cecilia Yahon
Lagu: Philip Diasun
Penyanyi: George Lian

Takadon ku nuluhon
Mongoi pokilombiding
Lombuson ku'd rumuhuk
Sumondot id palu-palu

Id doros do toliwad
Sinuni dilo tuhau
Ilo no tonuon ku
Pomorolot ku'd bosou

Korus:
Isai gia auh koilo
Mangakan bosou tuhau
Isai gia auh kotutun

Iti noh koubasanan
Akanon tulun tokou
Yoku nogi songulun
Mangakan tuhau lombiding

Kadazandusun traditional food.

Thanks to eyokecooking.blogspot.com for the availability of this sweet "How to make Bosou" recipe. =)

Simply Delicious Easy Cooking: Bosou (KadazanDusun signature dish)

Bosou (KadazanDusun signature dish)

Bosou is a signature dish for KadazanDusun. There are various types of bosou such as bosou Sada (preserved fish), bosou nangko (preserved jack fruit), mix vegetables bosou (preserved mix vege) and many more. The smell is strong, yet the taste is uniquely delicious.

In the past, it has become a practice by postnatal mother to eat bosou because it's believed can increase the production of breast milk (should be heated first with a little water and some ginger).

Current generations are more creative, they have different ways to consume bosou to suit it with their tastes. Some may stir-fry it with onions, red chillies, sabahan white chillies, tuhau and any other ingredients. Some even eat it with western food like spaghetti. Usually it is served as a side dish.

Bosou in our hearts.

I can totally relate to people living oversea and having little to none availability of traditional food like bosou and bambangan.

When i went to Australia it takes me time to adjust my diet. Foods were different there. Of course i can still get rice and indomee and kicap ABC but... I want my bosou and tuhau and bambangan!
Living my life travelling to different places in Oz, sometimes life brought me to my knees and sometimes I was just out and about life was a total breeze. Sadly the closest food to bosou that i could have is sambal bilis.

Set aside the fact that most western country doesn't have/sell the ingredient for us to actually make these sweet traditional food ourselves. To make it even harder, even the immigration won't let these yummy foods pass through their border! Sad sad sad.. =(
I've seen what happened. The officer will either have you throw it out or eat it before you pass their lines.
I'll go like "Sure i'll eat it here Omnomnomnomnom" gahaha

Well that's a bit of my experience. Let us see what other Sabahan like me have to endure in living oversea and craving for these dreamy traditional food.

Story 1


Thanks to andrik-mcvean.blogspot.com for a hearty share about the significance of bosou in his life.

Bosou and Bambangan in Scotland!!


Bambangan with red onions are fantastic
The red chillies are delicious with Bosou












"Although I have lived here in the UK for almost three years but I still cannot forget Bosou and Bambangan"


"we had to go to the river or sometimes rice field to find the fish for the Bosou"


"I still can clearly remember our poorness that time"


"But then my life has changed me to be someone stronger and Bosou and Bambangan are two dishes that I never forget and still two of my very best dishes ever!!!!! Because of them my family survived from hunger"

For his full story bout his awesome childhood and incredible sisters go here


Story 2


Another post courtesy of http://chardella.blogspot.com/ relaying her attachment to the king of Kadazandusun traditional food, Bosou. =)



"next flight; to the Manchester Airport. It took 20 minutes ride."

"Luckily, the custom officer didn't confiscate the medicine. And as for the milk, hubby were asked to drink it. Tapi nasib juga bosou terlimpas haha.. Dorang tidak ternampak tu bosou.. Syukur Tuhan! :P "

"I must say, grateful and praise to the Lord sebab tu bosou tidak kena tangkap haha.. and of course because we reached UK safely. Thank You GOD.."

How far she was from her native land?

"almost 13 hours journey and 6990 miles away from Kota Kinabalu"

Yes! That's what I'm saying. No matter how far we are from Sabah. Bosou will always be in our heart. :)

Tapi yang saya mau cerita sebenarnya ni lain.. bukan macam mana mau buat atau asal usul bosou.
Sebaliknya sia mo cerita camna bosou jadi sebahagian dari diri sia dari sia masi budak2 lagi.

Bah masa untuk kasi steady suda bahasa sia... kunun la hehe

"Lain juga rasa ni makanan ni", "lain juga bau ni makanan ni", "ih tia mau lah"
Begitulah respon saya jika saya dijemput untuk makan bosou ketika saya masih kecil dulu.
Biasalah budak-budak, cuma gemar makanan yang manis sahaja.

Namun begitu, lama kelamaan saya belajar untuk makan makanan tradisional ini sedikit demi sedikit kerana seluruh keluarga saya memakan bosou ini hampir setiap hari.
Pembuka selera terbaik la kononnya.

Saya masih ingat bosou yang saya makan sekiranya saya balik kampung. Bosou yang dibuat oleh nenek. Mak datuk sedap sangat rasanya! Mungkin kerana kandungan bosou itu mantap atau memang saya sudah mula meminati rasa asam-sedap bosou ini.

Mcam tia ngam o kan cerita psal bosou pakai bahasa skema.. mo juga keluar slang Sabah sia.. hehe

Ah! Tia paya cakap la.. sia paling suka bosou batang pisang. Ikan pun buli juga la.. tapi lagi mantap kalu ada lada putih. Adadah mantap habis! Palagi yang mummy sia buat, dia campur bunga kantan.. uish! sadap beii.

Time sia kici sia x pduli tu kalu ada tu budak2 lain yang tia besa makan olo2 sia mkan bosou.
Bah biar la baaaaa.... sadap bei ni.. ko yang rugi.. nehh.. haha!
Nasi panas + Bosou.... perrghhh!!! Estedy gingg!!
