Cempedak (jackfruit) for breakfast, lunch and dinner

It cempedak season. My patient brought a few cempedak fruits on Friday. I had one for dinner and lunch. The rest were given to the staff.

On Monday, she brought another few. I had one. Gave out the rest.

Today….

Who wants to go on a cempedak diet?

  12. Jean-Luc Picard August 22, 2007 2:59 am

    I’d never heard of this name before.

  13. Bernard August 22, 2007 9:10 am

    Soo, there’s no other name for cempedak. Only the name for its cousin. So I borrow it. :-)

    Or is there? Anybody knows?

    Captain, so now you’ve been where no starfleet captain has been before. :-)

    I think jackfruit is nangka. So is cempedak also jackfruit?

    Aiyah, don’t care what name lah, just give me some. Best fried in batter and then take the seed and steam……I WANT!!! :(

  22. George August 25, 2007 10:16 am

    Hiyah! cempedak is cempedak in english too! Its official name is Artocarpus champeden.

    Jackfruit is nangka and its official name is Artocarpus heterophyllus

    So when am I getting my share? I love both!

  23. CSH August 26, 2007 1:52 am

    wow, thumb up to George.
    now i know, cempedak is also cempedak in english. yup, both are yummy……

  24. Bernard August 26, 2007 4:09 pm

    Eastcoastlife, I still haven’t felt the “heat” yet. Perhaps I need a hot mama to heat it up. Hehe.

    Chelsea, liulian season is over d la.

    Judy, I’ve been having cempedak fritters for days before this patient started bringing this cempedak loot.

    Yenjai, yesss… come. No more cempedak… I tapau langsat for you.

    Cibol, uahh.. i love the yellow durians in bintulu.

    George, thanks for the info! Another English word borrowed from the Malay.

    Allthingspurple, well.. George has provided the answer.

    Leslie, err.. finish d.

    CSH, mmmmmm.

  25. just me August 27, 2007 4:19 pm

    Any wind in stomach after the cempedak feast? Or is it nangka which gives that?

  26. Chelsea August 27, 2007 4:21 pm

    I just saw people selling liulian here in pasar malam…

  27. Faisal Admar August 22, 2008 2:05 am

    is it unhealthy to eat too much of cempedak as it is so sweet?
