About

Kulat pelawan is a type of mushroom that grows wild at the foot of Pelawan trees, a native tree that can only be found in Bangka Belitung. It has a long stem and a small cap that is dark red when fresh, with complex smoky aroma and fiber like texture. The original lempah’s seasoning uses chicken bone trimmings to add richness into the dish.
