‘Black soup’ a must-have for Sabahan community


Deeply nostalgic: Known as tiyulah itum, this quintessentially Sabahan dish gets its dark green colour from burnt coconut flesh.

JOHOR BARU: While most people prefer rendang, ketupat, lemang and satay for their Hari Raya celebrations, the Sabahan community here enjoys their own special dish.

Tiyula itum or black soup, which is made either from braised beef or chicken meat, is a delicacy enjoyed by the community which numbers a few thousand, especially around the industrial area of Pasir Gudang.
