Introduction and history
Kebebe, a traditional delicacy of Perak, is believed to have existed hundreds of years in Lenggong and Gerik, offering a glimpse into Perak rich culinary heritage. A distinctive taste, kebebe is full of flavor, having come from a mixture of seven meshed fresh fruits. In those days, it was eaten when one felt warm, or in Perak accent, 'dedor'. The practice was that if someone suspected he had fever, he may eat kebebe for relief. Hence, kebebe is at times seen as traditional medicine.
It's a mixed taste of sour, spicy and bitter from the various fruits and vegetables: cermai (Phyllanthus acidus), belimbing buluh, jantung pisang, pineapple, guava, jackfruit bud and buah kelempung, pounded and mixed in a wooden mortar and pestle.
