@ tasteHongKong: They were on season for only two weeks

@ Tammy: you might want to check that out to the laboratory to proof that fiddleheads are edible.

@ Tigerfish: don't you find them in Singapore?

@ LCOM: There are several way to cook this. Depend on the region as well.

@ Pigpigscorner: Tha taste is really closed to asparagus

@ Wandering Chopsticks: can we trade?

@ Anncoo: it's really good with sambal serai udang and warmed rice

@ Noobcook: I'm just wondering about something here. Fiddleaheads are really popular in Sumatra and Kalimantan. Sumatra is really closed to Singapore and Malaysia.

Oooh…I love this very much. I wish I can get them here. I remember we had lots behind our house when we were young. It's always so convenient when we ran out of vegetables. Thanks for sharing.

So jealous of all your fiddleheads. I've only had them slightly pickled as part of Japanese mountain veggies in udon. I'd gladly trade you some geoduck for fiddleheads.

Must be so fragrant with the coconut! I've yet to try fiddleheads, they look so cute!

Interesting looking veggie, I don't think I have it before. I like the way you cook it, for M'sian, we will probably just stir-fry it with sambal belacan.

I first had Indonesian food in the Netherlands, but I always suspected that restaurant Indonesian in Europe caters to Western taste. Your lovely photos confirm that suspicion…

And I've always wanted to taste fiddleheads. There are ferns growing right now in the countryside here, but I don't think they're edible.

Looks like fiddleheads are really in the season as they are shown in many recipes around. Yours cooking with coconut and lemon grass sounds very flavorful and different.
