柏隆-宜力 Belum-Gerik 比亞馬遜還老、年紀破億的熱帶雨林柏隆天猛莪湖森林保護區（ Belum Temenggor Forest Reserve）位於馬來半島北部的上霹靂縣，1970年代被政府徵作水力發電在其間造了一座人工湖，有人在湖泊島上蓋了小而美的生態渡假屋；至於吃的，就吃綠巒碧泊孕育而出的魚蛋白——在小船屋上駛盡豪情。這裡有一種淡水魚「水馬騮」，因在水波間生猛跳躍而得此名。水馬騮去鱗，鹽漬風乾，發酵30天後變成鹹魚，風味濃郁，鹹中帶甜。淡水魚的作法林林總總，只要有好師傅就能在船屋上端出淡水西刀魚膠、水馬騮鹹魚炒鬍鬚雞、淡水石斑（實則用上淡水多鰻魚）等等。吃了魚，不登島在渡假村住一晚就辜負了天猛莪湖大自然好風光，這裡的民宿依山傍水沿著老樹的身型而建，12間環保木屋都不改變大自然的走姿，開放式門窗設計熱烈歡迎負離子進入，你若走運可能有機會在叢林間遇見世界最大的臭花——萊佛士花！ 上霹靂縣縣府「宜力」有兩座靠山，當地人稱之為公婆山。宜力必到之地為「木瓜水」，此店鎮店之寶除了淡水魚，還有在油棕園野生野長的山豬，肉質扎扎實實，非得拿來爆炒成勁香咖喱山豬肉不可；歷史上，宜力曾屬泰國境地，當地北大年馬來人料理深受暹羅文化的影響，在這裡吃魚必須沾點Air Lawar醬料，這是融合椰漿、椰絲、叻沙葉、峇拉煎、香茅、大蔥、南姜、辣椒和青檸檬的沾醬，光看材料就知此沾醬口味充滿斤兩。Pekasam則是馬來群島的古法生醃魚，以食鹽和炒香的米碎醃製，發酵期二週以上，最後產生的乳酸菌風味堪稱 「馬來版奶酪」，放進嘴裡彷如吃發酸的鹹魚，有人避之唯恐不及，也有人將其視如珍寶；當身心遠離煩囂，一點味覺上的小冒險算得了什麼？ Located north of Perak is Belum Temenggor Forest Reserve, a pristine paradise older than the Amazon. In the 70s, a lake was created to generate electricity, resulting in many man made islands, an eco resort was built among one as a retreat for nature lovers. The mode of transport is a houseboat which offers diners a taste of fresh sebarau, aka sea monkey. The fish earned this nickname because of its extremely lively characteristics; you can almost taste the purity of the jungle from its smooth, succulent flesh - none of the muddy taste associated with certain species of freshwater fishes. Dried and salt-cured the right way, the fermented version is a treat for the palate as well. If you’re lucky enough to have a great chef aboard, you can enjoy freshwater fishes in many forms - ikan parang fish paste, chicken with fermented sebarau, freshwater eels, etc. A food trip like this wouldn’t be complete with a night stay in one of the eco resort’s 12 chalets. Each of them is built with minimal modification to the topography, leaving the windows open is definitely recommended. Take a stroll in the woods, and you might even come across a Rafflesia, the world’s biggest flower with an equally significant stench. After admiring the sights of Gunung Kenderong and Gunung Kerunai in Gerik, visit Yan Kee Rice Stall, the freshwater fish and wild boar meat are the dishes to go for. The latter must be cooked in curry with a fiery flame to do the flesh justice. Malay Pattani food in Gerik has a noticeable Siamese flavour. The Air Lawar dipping sauce is made of coconut milk, shredded coconut, kesum leaves, belacan, lemongrass, onion, ginger, chilli, lime, and other spices - to call it a flavour overload is an understatement! Pekasam is a type of fermented fish prepared the ancient way. Made with salt, fried broken rice, and left to nature’s magic for 2 weeks, it’s called Malay cheese because of its pungent taste. Love it? Hate it? You’ve to decide for yourself - what’s a little gastronomical adventure when you’re already off the beaten path? 1: Belum Eco Resort Khong Island, Gerik, Perak. www.belumecoresort.com.my 2: 賢記木瓜水飯館 Yan Kee Rice Stall Stall 10, Gerai Medan Tokong 1, Jalan Tokong Dato, Gerik, Perak. 1730-2200   / 1975264522516816   3: Castella Cafe Kampung Padang Stang, Gerik, Perak. 1100-1700 阿賢鄉鎮食旅 AxianSmallTownFoodcation Sunday 10pm, Astro AEC 及 Astro Go Repeat Friday 8am & Saturday 4pm, 11pm
