I picked up a weird semi-hollow "rock" buried in the mud on the trail. When I got home, I broke open the "rock", and was surprised to find that the "rock" was probably actually a nut that I think was from a candle nut (Buah Keras) tree. So I've been on a hunt for a source of whole (edible) candlenuts ever since. No luck so far. Any tips for finding Buah Keras, or Candle Nuts, other than "local Asian grocery store"?

It has so much oil it can burn like candle. Saw that on "Man vs Wild" documentary once. Tried it too at lantern festival. Fun to play with. Candlenut is a relative of the delicisous macadamia nut.

I look forward to trying them again after cooking.

Its more popular down south if I'm not mistaken. I've just got my supply from my mum in Melaka. I cook it with chicken (or fish head) in a "pedas" style gravy. Heavenly with white rice.
