Not for the Faint Hearted

I reckon most of you would have tried most of the inner parts of a pig. But this, I bet you've never tried. Ordered it a week in advance and Fuji san (proprietor of the Yaki Niku place in Tmn Desa) was kind enough to book it and prepare it for us. Actually I was quite surprised that he remembered it cos when we talked about it last week, we were pretty drunk after rounds of sake bombs.


First look of it and it just looks like any other part of the pig. It actually looks like the intestines. It smelled really good with a dash of sesame oil and some ponzu sauce. Ponzu is literally citrus juice. Mix some lemon juice and shoyu, that's simplified ponzu for you.

Check this out. Small dish that tastes absolutely delicious. Pair it with beers or sake. Perfect combination. (Photo: Courtesy of Moby Low)

This dish is one of the most refreshing and tantalizing dishes of the night. The "parts" were crunchy paired with the ponzu sauce, it had this citrusy twang to it that makes your taste buds go wild. Fuji san did a fantastic job with this. There was no overkill of too much lemon juice and it was not too salty at all. Just perfect. Down a little beer after it. Perfect combination. (this dish goes well with any alcohol. Hot night down the beers with it and cool night have some sake.)

By now, you must be still wondering what in the world is this dish? I have been thinking high and low on how do I call this dish and yet sound cultured.
Seriously I can't. It's a simple dish of "Buta Omanko" which is literally translated as Pork Vagina! Reckon that it should be called Pig's Uterus (thanks to Linda for the correction)
Now you have it and yes I tried it. It was superb!
