Looking for treasure in the jungle

After coming back from Miri, we made another trip to Sarikei.Sometimes it is just a ride and nothing else.
We visited the old house again and met up with the uncle. We were told that he has discovered a few bamboo shoots in the jungle beside his house. That is treasure to us as bamboo shoots is very delicious. Uncle helped in harvesting the bamboo shoots and hubby I was busy searching for "paku" which makes another nice dish.
Bamboo shoots are rare and can only harvest by chance but paku is common. It can be harvested in a few days time.

The skin of the bamboo shoots which are not edible.

The harvesting of this shoot is a little too late. So it grows into this length.

Each section is cut off at the joint part as they are too old to be taken. However the rest are still edible and when they are cut cross-sectionally, they are ring form.

A big one which I brought back home to be cooked.

The middle one is taken by uncle's son. It is such a beautiful and huge one.

Fresh and young paku shoots. A nice dish.
