4. UMAI


Umai- The Umai is traditionally a standard lunch meal for the Melanau fisherman.  Thin layer of raw fresh fish, usually iced, combined with thinly slice onions, chili, salt and juice from sour fruits like lime or assam to prepare this dish.  The dish is usually accompanied by a bowl of toasted sago and is so simple that fishermen prepare it easily on their boats.
