00:00Ever heard of lino pot?

00:03For most West Malaysians, it might sound foreign, but for Sabahans, this kadazan dusun dish

00:10is likely to trigger memories of warm, savoury rice cooked by a loving grandmother.

00:16Sadly, eateries that serve lino pot in the Klang Valley are hard to come by.

00:23Now, one Sabahan is stepping up to the stove to share her delicious lino pot.

00:30A car salesperson by day, Rano native Cassandra Jarlius spends much of her time mothering

00:37her six cats.

00:38She also runs a side business where she cooks up a storm in her kitchen.

00:44From her Petaling Jaya home, she delivers lino pot throughout the Klang Valley and beyond.

00:50As it turns out, there is plenty of demand for the dish from Sabahans who live throughout

00:56the peninsula.

00:58But what is lino pot?

01:00Like nasi lemak and Chinese rice dumplings, it consists of steamed rice wrapped in a leaf,

01:06often served with a variety of traditional Sabahan dishes.

01:11Instead of white rice, Cassandra makes hers with hill patty instead.

01:16Why do I learn to cook?

01:18I love eating Sabahan food.

01:22I love eating lino pot.

01:25And also, I want to introduce lino pot to people in West Malaysia.

01:33Her lino pot is based on recipes passed down by her mother and grandmother and brings back

01:39cherished memories of Rano.

01:41When I was young, we always bring lino pot to go to our farm and also even we go to sungai

01:49for picnic, we also bring the nasi lah.

01:53It's easy to bring because you don't have to bring container.

01:57You just bring the nasi itself and you can bring like ikan masin, canned food and you

02:02can eat already.

02:04During the pandemic, Cassandra found herself missing lino pot but was not able to travel

02:09home.

02:10Unable to find any in the Klang Valley that met her standards, she decided to make it

02:16herself.

02:18One thing led to another and Cassandra realized there was an opportunity to be had in selling

02:24lino pot.

02:26That said, it's not an easy dish to make as some of the ingredients are only found

02:31in Sabah.

02:33And will Cassandra be among those to open a restaurant someday?

02:37Yeah, one day.

02:40But not right now.

02:43And that was Kami Lino Pot by Cassandra.
