It used smaller bamboo. And if I am not mistaken, it is not cook with santan. It is usually cooked during Gawai for offering to the Spirit, and for the guest. The type you shown is called 'limang', borrowed from Malay words. As 'pogang' can be quite stiff and bland without the santan, nowadays the Bidayuh prefer to cook limang. <strong>[cdason] <em>Yeah... not sure which is which, but I guess you are right. I'm kind of 'lost' when it comes to the Bidayuh side of life.</strong></em> Pogang in Bau is referred to a type of lemang without the banana leaf. It used smaller bamboo.
