That's Kamias (tagalog) or Iba(e-ba) in bisaya. Balimbing is totally different. Balimbing is also called star fruit. Kamias is good for sour soup or eat it with fermented shrimps (bagoong) or just plain salt.
Calling it a balimbing is not actually wrong since it is the same family fruit of star fruit.. some name that lost in translation long time ago or someone just made an error and it became a thing.. like star fruit also known as carambola and in some part of my country they don't even know what balimbing is and only call it star fruit.. its funny cuz the main land here call watermelon a "timun" cucumber, because its the same family fruit..
In Philippines, what you're eating is called Kamias or Iba in some places. Balimbing is local name for Star Fruit. Both fruits are sour and I personally love eating them dipped in a bit of salt. 😊
In Indonesia we call it belimbing wuluh. Perfect for cooking fish soup. The sourness give the soup a refreshing taste and also help to remove the fishy taste of seafood.

My father planted this belimbing tree in our backyard, and we use it to make sour soup. In Indonesia, we cook the young papaya, the flower of the papaya, the leaves of papaya, and we cook the flower of banana too. I think we just so frugal and use everything what the mother earth give us as long as its not killing us 😁
Yes we filipino's do that also hehehehe..... as long as it can fill our stomachs and does not have poison then f*** will eat it., When i was i kid i really love this balimbing or in my province we call it kamias or iba paired w/ chilies and salt or just pure salt, it may turn a little sweet when it ripes, I just miss this fruit coz, i can't find that here in the city. We are througly SEA brothers,
Here in Sabah (North Borneo) the native Dusun call it as Dulod-Ulod. I love adding them when making fish soup (together with some ginger, chili) and it extremely delicious, especially when you're having morning hangover.
In Philippines, we call it Kamias. It was cool when the other guy told Gordon Ramsay that kamias tree came from Philippines 😊 We used to eat it by dipping in a salt or use it for some Filipino viands like Sinigang sa kamias or fish soup etc. Cute reaction of Gordon after tasting it lol
the kamias(balimbing) here in Batangas is usually used dried for Sinaing na Tulingan/Gulyasan/Tambakol (Tuna). and in our family, we also use that as souring agent in cooking chicken/pork adobo. this gives a fresher and more natural flavor.
@@cklph hi. no vinegar and soy sauce (but if it seems a bit sketchy at first, try slowly reducing the soy and vinegar every time you try to cook it this way) we use salt, onions, black pepper and lots of garlic.
In Indonesia, we call it 'Belimbing Wuluh' . You guys can make a sambal / sauce of this belimbing wuluh. Enough with a thin cut of belimbing wuluh, add a small chili / asian chili, sugar, and a little salt. then mash all the ingredients . Sambal belimbing wuluh would be very good to eat with warm rice and fried chicken/ fried tofu or fried tempe 👍
That’s belimbing wuluh in indonesian 🇲🇨 and in one of our traditional dishes, they’re dried and made into “asam sunti” to give the most delicious tart and sour flavour to any seafood dish, especially Acehnese dish.
We have that tree in front of my house 😂 we call it belimbing here (belimbing wuluh) very handy when you need to cook something sour. It grows so much and fast
I friggin love pickling those in salt and water! They're usually seen around the Philippines as a foraging pick-and-eat kind of food but there's actually some interesting recipes you can use them for.
How long does it last as pickle? I have those at home and they always just fall off the tree cs there's too much of them and we dont know what to make anymore 😂 my mom made jam with it but no one even touched it lol
@@chikihc Not really sure coz the moment I pickle them for half a day, I end up finishing them for either dinner or lunch xD(usually just pickle around 8 to 10 pieces). I just like the sour-y + salty taste of it so much that I can't stop eating them with my meals as a side dish.
*Here in 🇵🇭 we use the balimbi for sour dishes like sinigang or inun-unan as substitue for lime or tamarind. There's also this sour leaf that we use. Wish to see you do some local Filipino dish in the Philippines chef!!! 🥰*
In Indonesia it called Belimbing Wuluh, we usually use it in some dishes to add acidity, or dip it in bumbu rujak (peanut and palm sugar sauce) if we eat it raw like that. and we also have Belimbing which means star fruit.
It is one of belimbing's fruit. In Indonesian we call that in my region (in another Indonesian regions maybe will have another name too) : belimbing wuluh, so sour, and can be used for some traditional food ingredients. Belimbing in Indonesia has another form like a star if you cut it, in english they known as starfruit.
In Indonesia its called "Belimbing" and there is many types of belimbing in Indonesia. Which you eat ones thats called "Belimbing Wuluh" or "Calincing" (Sundanese). Its good to make sour soup or to make seasoning called "Asam Sunti" for Acehnese people in Sumatra island
@aRem23 in Indonesia Starfruit called "Belimbing Manis/Buah Karambola" its edible fruit which have sour and sweety flavour. In Indonesia, starfruit is processed into various kinds of culinary, such as, starfruit juice, "Rujak Belimbing with Sambal Kacang/Petis" and "Teh Belimbing" is the dried starfruit brewed with cloves and cinnamon. Its good for healthy 😁
Yeah. Due to the strong sour flavour we use it oftenly at dishes. Nobody eat it straight away from the tree like that. The strong sour can give you some acidic taste in the mouth. Need to be balance by other flavour. Maybe in "rujak" we use it too. Poor Gordon just took it and eat it. 😂.
in our country philippines the sour that you eat its called Eba in visayas and kamias in tagalog. kamias is so sour hahaha. the balimbing is starfruit , but kamias in english is balimbi not balimbing 🙂
@@Ubenimia hahahahahaha yeah It's not like we're the only country with that fruit so I don't gets why they keep correcting stuffs knowing that different places uses different words and way of speaking
We use balimbing as a souring agent for our sour soups like sinigang, paksiw, balbakwa. But we are exposed to it early as children, we would just pick them directly from the trees and dip it in fish sauce or rock salt.
Kamias or balimbi is a great fruit for making sour soup . In the Philippines you can find it almost anywhere. Can be substitute with tamarind (sampalok) for making sinigang (sour soup)
Its makes me confused, as far as i know kamias is different from balimbing, the sour one and the sweet one, but well as you said maybe i was wrong haha.
In Indonesia, we called it "belimbing wuluh", as belimbing (not with wuluh) is a starfruit. That belimbing wuluh is really sour, using for cooking not to be eaten raw 🙈
We called the fruit here in the Philippines, particularly in Visayas region: Eba. The fruit balimbing is somehow a different fruit. I think Balimbing is a star fruit in English, I am not certain.
Here in the philippines we eat balimbing or kamyas just put salt or bagoong damn delicious... Sometimes we used it to our traditional dishes like fish stew (pinangat) Pork stew like sinigang and many more...
Fun fact: On my area "East and North Borneo/Kalimantan" it's called "belimbing wuluh" (I believe the term comes from Javanese). It's a subtitude for tamarind if I'm not wrong
We call it "belimbing wuluh" (wuluh starfruit). It's not common to eat directly. Usually it's used for cooking to add some acidity. Oh, my mom said its flower can be used as a herbal tea.
In our country, balimbing (starfruit) is a whole different fruit. This one is kamias which is best with Sinigang. Also best when eating it with salt or grounded fish sauce. 😁 The difference and similarity is fascinating.
Boil them for 24 hours till they turn black and mix with hot peppers, onion and dried anchovies. "Black sambal" we called them. Taste amazing. Some people actually use them as pizza topping.
I think whoever brought that fruit from the Philippines forgot what it's really called. It's not balimbing, it's Iba/Kamias. Balimbing is a star fruit which is also sour. But sweet when ripe. Both can be sour agents for Sinigang dish.
The last fruit they tasted is not a BALIMBING (starfruit) but it is a cucumber tree also known as tree sorrel and bilimbi. In the Philippines, it is called camias or KAMYAS.
We call it "Kamias" here in Central part of the Philippines and also it can used on soup to get the sour taste. It really good if you want to choose healthy way and forget to use machine products. Plus it can dip it on salt with chili it can be also candy Kamias candy 😊
A kamias's more popular name is bilimbi. Bilimbi is often mistaken as Carambola (balimbing) which is a totally different fruit. Theyre both sour though.
in Indonesia it's called belimbing wuluh .. belimbing itself means star fruit, wuluh means fur/tiny.. it does look like a furry unripe star fruit. usually used for javanese garang asem (sour beef/meat soup) some time used in rujak (spicy(hot) salad) or eat it raw with some sugar.
in Indonesia, we usually call it belimbing sayur (*in Java it is usually called belimbing wuluh). In addition to cooking spices, this one fruit has many benefits.
It's "Belimbing Buluh" in Malaysia. We usually use them to make our "Masak Lemak Cili Api" or Bird's Eye Chili Coconut Yellow Curry. Because it is too sour, it gave a lot of freshness to the dish especially if you made the fish version. And we also add them in our "Sambal Belacan" to replace the lime. You eat them with grilled fish and deep-fried dry salted fish, you will not even notice who's behind you. 🙃
That’s Belimbing Wuluh in Indonesia. Little ones, really sour, used to cooked with coconut oil or other soupy foods.. brings the sourness and really freshen the taste. Especially when you dealing with fish :))
We also call this kalamyas. It's not only for cooking. We also use this for washing clothes in place of oxalic acid to remove some rust stains (mild ones) by rubbing it on the area. Also, if your finger nails are stained just rub it on the nails or puncture one fruit with your nails. Very effective nail cleaner.
Idk about Philippines side of story. But in Indonesia, that is indeed "oddly" part of "Belimbing"(Starfruit) family. Specifically called "Belimbing Wuluh" It's not a "fruit" fruit. It's a seasoning fruit. The dude was good troll.
We've so many of them in Goa and we call them Bimblim (In our local language Konkani). Every house used to have this tree and we used to dry them for the rainy season. We make spicy pickles and also we put them in Saltwater with green chilies. In Goa, every Taverna (Liquor shop in the villages) used to give them to eat with our local Alcohol made of cashew apple called Urak. We love them so much and my grandmother used to add them to Fish Curry and the curry tasted a little bit sour and spicy. Add the Bimblim Fruit to salads or curries and the taste is so good.
In our province here in Philippines, we called it Iba. One of my favorite childhood fruit that I usually dip it with a salt. And yeah , when I was a kid I always bring salt with me because of Iba and tamarind, the green one, not the ripe one. My parents always scold me when they found out I eat it because my lips turned white when I eat too much of it.
We can also use the flower of belimbing to make a herbal drink to cure cough. Just need a boiled water and rock sugar. The fragrance of the herbal drink is so good
To us in Southern Tagalog Region, it's kamias or kalamyas. Mainly used as a sour flavoring. You could use it either fresh or sun dried. Commonly used in cooking Sinigang.
In Malaysia, Belimbing buluh (Averrhoa bilimbi) Belimbing besi (Averrhoa carambola) We make it into sambal hitam. We boiled the fruits 8 hours until they turn black/dark brown. Then, mixed with anchovies, hot chillies, onion. Very famous in the state of Pahang.
you can dried the balimbing or put a raw balimbing in a sour soup like fish soup, chicken,pork soup if you want to taste it a little bit sour...it has a refreshing taste and usually eat that soup during cold weather or rainy season..In summer they usually eat it raw and dip in a little bit of rock salt.
It's called Belimbing, specifically Belimbing Wuluh, in Indonesia. It is usually used for fruit salad dish, or as one of the ingredients in the dishes like chicken, fish, or soup.
In Bahasa we call this fruit as Belimbing Wuluh, not for eat directly only for cooking, mostly for seafood seasoning because it taste sour but refreshing . So completely different with Belimbing (star fruit)
In Indonesia Java, we call it belimbing wuluh. That's taste really sour. My family always used it for make some dish, like sayur asam, asam-asam daging, and asam-asam ikan. My friend said, if you want eat just belimbing wuluh. You have to eat with salt and chili, she said that's really good.
That is actually Kamias (with rounded sides), its a sour fruit all season long (ripen or not), can be eaten as it is, it is also used as a sour agent for some delicacies in the Philippines, sometimes dried to create unique flavor in it. Balimbing on the other hand has this edges on the side and looked like a star, its sour when unripe but tastes really sweet when ripe.
Here in Batangas, a province in the Philippines. We call it Kalamias or Kamias in other regions. But we don't directly use it. We dry it first until it's brown and kinda hard. It's a long process since we dry it out in the sun for days. Then we use it to cook our Sinaing na Tulingan (Mackerel Tuna stewed with Dried Bilimbi). We cook the mackerel for hours with the dried Bilimbi which gives it a sour and tangy taste. Because dried Bilimbi is more flavorful in cooking since the flavor has been compacted through the drying process.
What your eating is kamias in philippines, balimbing on the other hand is star fruit. We have both of these trees in our backyard growing up. kamias is used in souring sinigang dish, while the star fruit we eat them when they get slighty ripe yellow and becomes juicy and sweet.
I have a belimbing wuluh tree just outside my house, It growing so many belimbing and when it happens I always make a syrup from it. Very sour yes but it's good at the same time.
Hi.in mauritius they are called bilimbi.locals use them to make pickle and it is very easy to make.i cut them in small dices ,wash then add a handful of salt and then add two to three handful of sugar .leave for couples of hours or overnight ,drained then sun dried them for 1 to 2 days.then pickled them using mustard seeds ,garlic ,dry chilles,oil,tumeric powder and salt to taste.i make a paste of allthese ingredients then add the dry bilimbi and stir well .Well that's how it is made.
Its common fruit in Indonesia too in java its called belimbing wuluh very sour sometimes we use it to make drinks called sinom really great drink in summer
Belimbing wuluh in my village is part of vegie, it to subtites tamarine in sour soup (sayur asem), and subtitutes tomato for "pepes ikan" it reduces fish smell and added more sour taste than tomato. Belimbing wuluh is in bahasa in my village it's called blimbing wuluh
In Malaysia we called belimbing buluh(bamboo) there is 2 type . One is green and another one is white. We used in masak lemak and acar . Bte the red banana , known by the name as pisang raja udang .
It's called Belimbing Wuluh. It's usually used for cooking. To make sambal or additional element in a dish. It tastes sour. Starfruit is also called Belimbing (not wuluh). We usually just enjoy it raw. It usually tastes sweet.
In our province Iloilo Philippines we call that Iba.U can use it as sour ingredient in your cooking.Other fruits that we use are Galangan(balimbing),tamarind and batuan.
We call that kamias, balimbing usually is sweet and apple like texture, watery. Yeah kamias is sour. We use it as condiment, for fish stew with kamias, you can also pickle it if you want. Balimbing is more of a fruit, kamias is more of a veggie for us here in the Philippines.
Avverhoa Bilimbi. In Philippines we called it Kamias or Iba, Balimbing is a different fruit in Philippines also known as Star Fruit both used for lime alternatives for cooking.
That Red Banana is endemic to South India which enjoys a VIP status, and it isn't even the sweetest banana out here. Ofcourse Bilimbi is also very common here, used for spicy pickles and in fish curries. It's called Erimbika (erimb in local language means iron, since it's high in iron and used to prevent anemia) and also as Pulichikka (puli meaning sour)
We generally use it in the Philippines as a substitute for dishes that require tamarind or coconut vinegar but we don't use it for ceviche or as we call it isdang kinilaw or fish ceviche in English for that we commonly use coconut vinegar and also we add chopped chalots and sliced cucumbers and chopped ginger and some salt some pepper chushed chillies optional and about one fourth cup of coconut vinegar to taste.
aka Kamias in Philippines mostly good in Fish Dishes that make more tasty when the food preserve in days. it also good when Balimbing aka Kamias dried thru sunlight it became natural spice for food it neutralize the saltiness of food and give aromatic and earthy texture
Belimbing is star fruit... but we Indonesian called what you eat as Belimbing Wuluh... the sour one..... We use it to cook dishes called Garang Asem, asem mean sour. It's chicken with coconut milk wrapped in banana leaves and grilled or steamed....
For us in Tagalog... In Quezon province we used kamias for cooking fresh fish like galunggong with garlic pepper & ginger, eggplant, a little of vinegar then simmer until all liquid are gone.. then add coconut milk & presto all rice are gone
In Guyana 🇬🇾 we call balimbing , soury(because of it's taste) or balambi for short..... It is mostly used as a chutney or in curry dishes in my country, but I love it in fruit juices, it is just ideal for an extra citrusy kick🥴
The fruit was kamias (Sour Sop). In the Northern part of the Philippines, and even South, it is being dried and used in making sour soup or what we cal in Filipino Sinigang na Baboy (Sour Pork Soup) or Sinigang na Isda (Sour Fish Soup). Balimbing (Star Fruit) is bigger than kamias.
We Indonesian, especially in Java, call that sour oval fruit as "belimbing wuluh". Balimbing/belimbing terms we use for starfruit. Almost same pronounce with the Filipino.
In malaysia we call this "belimbing buluh" the common belimbing is starfruit. This fruit is super sour, we love to cook in our "masak lemak cili api" or spicy tumeric coconut curry. U can also eat it raw with dipping consist of shrimp paste, soy sauce sugar and chilli.
Yeah, similar in the Philippines, Balimbing is a local name of Star Fruit, while the Balimbing as they called it is what known to us as KAMIAS (in Tagalog) or IBÁ (in Bicol/Visaya - a local language in the Philippines)
If it comes from the philippines, thats called kamias..alternative for sinigang soup(tamarind soup) because of its sourness.. can be eaten raw if you like sour fruit taste stuff, just dip it in salt(thats how i eat it). Balimbing is more of star shaped fruit-liked cacao and much bigger shape than kamias..and just like on how it is translated a two faced fruit, depends on whos eating it, its sometimes sour and sometimes sweet (Sometimes some pregnant women crave for this fruit,its hard to find especially when you live in the city area,not all market sell this fruit)

We use balimbing as a souring agent for our sour soups like sinigang, paksiw, balbakwa. But we are exposed to it early as children, we would just pick them directly from the trees and dip it in fish sauce or rock salt.
Kamias or balimbi is a great fruit for making sour soup . In the Philippines you can find it almost anywhere. Can be substitute with tamarind (sampalok) for making sinigang (sour soup)
Its makes me confused, as far as i know kamias is different from balimbing, the sour one and the sweet one, but well as you said maybe i was wrong haha.
It’s bilimbi, not balimbing
In Aceh province of Indonesia, the belimbing wuluh sun dried for few days, its called asam sunti, and preserved to various food, like tamarind.
in indonesia we also call it belimbing, my mom used it for cooking sayur asem. it tasted good.
In Indonesia, we called it "belimbing wuluh", as belimbing (not with wuluh) is a starfruit. That belimbing wuluh is really sour, using for cooking not to be eaten raw 🙈
👍👍👍👍👍👍
You can't eat it raw?
FAILURE
@@ykal You can eat it raw.
It's also meant eating raw, just so you know.
We called the fruit here in the Philippines, particularly in Visayas region: Eba. The fruit balimbing is somehow a different fruit. I think Balimbing is a star fruit in English, I am not certain.
Star fruit is more common in Thailand and Cambodia than it is in the Philippines, where fruits are luxury.
Interesting, we also called star fruit, belimbing in Indonesia
Here in the philippines we eat balimbing or kamyas just put salt or bagoong damn delicious... Sometimes we used it to our traditional dishes like fish stew (pinangat)
Pork stew like sinigang and many more...
Fun fact: On my area "East and North Borneo/Kalimantan" it's called "belimbing wuluh" (I believe the term comes from Javanese). It's a subtitude for tamarind if I'm not wrong
Yes, thats Right, by the way, I'm Javanese
Thats true. Well, it is being use here as a substitute flr tamarind as well for some main dish (like sinigang) - Philippines
In my country Philippines, we called that eba
We call it iba’ here in my district Kinabatangan. Another fun fact for u sir
In Sarawak we call this belimbing tunjuk. Usually made into pickles or sambal.
We call it "belimbing wuluh" (wuluh starfruit). It's not common to eat directly.
Usually it's used for cooking to add some acidity. Oh, my mom said its flower can be used as a herbal tea.
I eat it directly more than 5 times in my life . . . I don't know what happen to my head I just like the sensation
In our country, balimbing (starfruit) is a whole different fruit. This one is kamias which is best with Sinigang. Also best when eating it with salt or grounded fish sauce. 😁 The difference and similarity is fascinating.
to add a fresh sour taste to food
We eat it directly with salt
Boil them for 24 hours till they turn black and mix with hot peppers, onion and dried anchovies. "Black sambal" we called them. Taste amazing. Some people actually use them as pizza topping.
I think whoever brought that fruit from the Philippines forgot what it's really called. It's not balimbing, it's Iba/Kamias. Balimbing is a star fruit which is also sour. But sweet when ripe. Both can be sour agents for Sinigang dish.
The last fruit they tasted is not a BALIMBING (starfruit) but it is a cucumber tree also known as tree sorrel and bilimbi. In the Philippines, it is called camias or KAMYAS.
I read the title and want to see Gordons reaction. Im not disappointed.
It's a great fruit if you're into sour flavor, really great for soups as well.
And don't forget dipping it on soy sauce.
We call it "Kamias" here in Central part of the Philippines and also it can used on soup to get the sour taste. It really good if you want to choose healthy way and forget to use machine products. Plus it can dip it on salt with chili it can be also candy Kamias candy 😊
In Mindanao, we call it "Iba". It's the star fruit thats called " Balimbing".
Malaysian : belimbing buloh.
Indonesian : belimbing wuluh.
And yes star fruit is belimbing
Idk what they call them in negros but they super sour
good for sambals
A kamias's more popular name is bilimbi.
Bilimbi is often mistaken as Carambola (balimbing) which is a totally different fruit. Theyre both sour though.
in Indonesia it's called belimbing wuluh .. belimbing itself means star fruit, wuluh means fur/tiny.. it does look like a furry unripe star fruit. usually used for javanese garang asem (sour beef/meat soup) some time used in rujak (spicy(hot) salad) or eat it raw with some sugar.
in Indonesia, we usually call it belimbing sayur (*in Java it is usually called belimbing wuluh). In addition to cooking spices, this one fruit has many benefits.
I found it quite confusing when it was labled as 'balimbing' when that fruit name is the starfruit in my country.
In INDONESIA we call it BELIMBING (BELIMBING WULUH), I'm impressed the name is so similar 😁
my neighbours had something similar called belimbing buluh
Hawai language is part of Austronesian family language.
It's "Belimbing Buluh" in Malaysia. We usually use them to make our "Masak Lemak Cili Api" or Bird's Eye Chili Coconut Yellow Curry. Because it is too sour, it gave a lot of freshness to the dish especially if you made the fish version.
And we also add them in our "Sambal Belacan" to replace the lime. You eat them with grilled fish and deep-fried dry salted fish, you will not even notice who's behind you. 🙃
correct me if im wrong, we also have another type of belimbing ( starfruit ) ...which is sweet and can be eaten fresh
In philippines its Balimbing
Gulai lemak cili api ikan talapia salai campur belimbing buluh. Omg.
yes your correct our balimbing is called starfruit and there kamias in hawaii is also called Balimbing while there Starfruit is called Carambola
@@faizkasim80 we have 2 type starfruit. 1 sweet and big starfruit. 2 sour and small starfruit.
That’s Belimbing Wuluh in Indonesia. Little ones, really sour, used to cooked with coconut oil or other soupy foods.. brings the sourness and really freshen the taste. Especially when you dealing with fish :))
We also call this kalamyas.
It's not only for cooking. We also use this for washing clothes in place of oxalic acid to remove some rust stains (mild ones) by rubbing it on the area.
Also, if your finger nails are stained just rub it on the nails or puncture one fruit with your nails. Very effective nail cleaner.
Really enjoying these adventures!
Idk about Philippines side of story.
But in Indonesia, that is indeed "oddly" part of "Belimbing"(Starfruit) family. Specifically called "Belimbing Wuluh"
It's not a "fruit" fruit. It's a seasoning fruit. The dude was good troll.
you don't eat that belimbing directly like a banana. it has to be processed into a dish. soup or steamed fish dish with that belimbing is awesome.
Actually our friends and I growing up eat camias straight from the tree. Talk about fresh.😁
@Home Yap same here when I was a kid we eat fresh from the tree we eat it like how we eat sour mangoes dip it in salt 😊
Im from the Philippines, oh yeah you can it directly
I eat it like a tamarind candy 💁 LOL
We've so many of them in Goa and we call them Bimblim (In our local language Konkani). Every house used to have this tree and we used to dry them for the rainy season. We make spicy pickles and also we put them in Saltwater with green chilies. In Goa, every Taverna (Liquor shop in the villages) used to give them to eat with our local Alcohol made of cashew apple called Urak. We love them so much and my grandmother used to add them to Fish Curry and the curry tasted a little bit sour and spicy. Add the Bimblim Fruit to salads or curries and the taste is so good.
In Malaysia we call it Belimbing Buluh.... We like to make kerabu or put it in masak lemak... So gooddd
In our province here in Philippines, we called it Iba. One of my favorite childhood fruit that I usually dip it with a salt. And yeah , when I was a kid I always bring salt with me because of Iba and tamarind, the green one, not the ripe one. My parents always scold me when they found out I eat it because my lips turned white when I eat too much of it.
Salt + balimbing ❤️
Actually that's not balimbing, it's "Kamyas" (small pickles)
Balimbing is a star shape fruit and it's also sour
Chef Gordon should visit the Philippines at least once in his lifetime 😊 we'll be happy to have you here and experience our food.
We can also use the flower of belimbing to make a herbal drink to cure cough. Just need a boiled water and rock sugar. The fragrance of the herbal drink is so good
This is belimbing wuluh, bisa buat sayur asem, bothok, dan banyak lagi kegunaan nya
To us in Southern Tagalog Region, it's kamias or kalamyas. Mainly used as a sour flavoring. You could use it either fresh or sun dried. Commonly used in cooking Sinigang.
In Malaysia,
Belimbing buluh (Averrhoa bilimbi)
Belimbing besi (Averrhoa carambola)
We make it into sambal hitam. We boiled the fruits 8 hours until they turn black/dark brown. Then, mixed with anchovies, hot chillies, onion. Very famous in the state of Pahang.
you can dried the balimbing or put a raw balimbing in a sour soup like fish soup, chicken,pork soup if you want to taste it a little bit sour...it has a refreshing taste and usually eat that soup during cold weather or rainy season..In summer they usually eat it raw and dip in a little bit of rock salt.
It's called Belimbing, specifically Belimbing Wuluh, in Indonesia. It is usually used for fruit salad dish, or as one of the ingredients in the dishes like chicken, fish, or soup.
In Bahasa we call this fruit as Belimbing Wuluh, not for eat directly only for cooking, mostly for seafood seasoning because it taste sour but refreshing . So completely different with Belimbing (star fruit)
In Indonesia Java, we call it belimbing wuluh. That's taste really sour. My family always used it for make some dish, like sayur asam, asam-asam daging, and asam-asam ikan. My friend said, if you want eat just belimbing wuluh. You have to eat with salt and chili, she said that's really good.
Nenggonku jenenge blimbing wuluh.. pas banget nggo masak garang asemm... naknan
That is actually Kamias (with rounded sides), its a sour fruit all season long (ripen or not), can be eaten as it is, it is also used as a sour agent for some delicacies in the Philippines, sometimes dried to create unique flavor in it. Balimbing on the other hand has this edges on the side and looked like a star, its sour when unripe but tastes really sweet when ripe.
Very delicious food ingredient....
Its special one and expert use
I have some belimbing trees in my house, and my neighbors usually pick the fruits without permission
Here in Batangas, a province in the Philippines. We call it Kalamias or Kamias in other regions. But we don't directly use it. We dry it first until it's brown and kinda hard. It's a long process since we dry it out in the sun for days. Then we use it to cook our Sinaing na Tulingan (Mackerel Tuna stewed with Dried Bilimbi). We cook the mackerel for hours with the dried Bilimbi which gives it a sour and tangy taste. Because dried Bilimbi is more flavorful in cooking since the flavor has been compacted through the drying process.
Ini indonesia we call it BELIMBING WULUH mean sour belimbing, the sweet one is start fruit BELIMBING
BELIMBING WULUH in Indonesia we use for cooking fish soup with taste spicy and sour, so fresh especially for anyone who lose their appetite
What your eating is kamias in philippines, balimbing on the other hand is star fruit. We have both of these trees in our backyard growing up. kamias is used in souring sinigang dish, while the star fruit we eat them when they get slighty ripe yellow and becomes juicy and sweet.
Best fruit for art & craft.
Natural star shaped
I have a belimbing wuluh tree just outside my house, It growing so many belimbing and when it happens I always make a syrup from it. Very sour yes but it's good at the same time.

Belimbing wuluh in my village is part of vegie, it to subtites tamarine in sour soup (sayur asem), and subtitutes tomato for "pepes ikan" it reduces fish smell and added more sour taste than tomato. Belimbing wuluh is in bahasa in my village it's called blimbing wuluh
Balimbing is star fruit. That’s kamias and we use it for sour soup and sunstitute paksiw fish (fish cooked in vinegar)
Balimbing is star fruit, what you tried is kamias, both are good ingedients for "paksiw na isda" stewed fish, and also for fish sinigang.

Belimbing Wuluh.. we grow in our backyard.. in Indonesia to cook sayur asem and pindang kecap..
We call that kamias, balimbing usually is sweet and apple like texture, watery. Yeah kamias is sour. We use it as condiment, for fish stew with kamias, you can also pickle it if you want. Balimbing is more of a fruit, kamias is more of a veggie for us here in the Philippines.
Avverhoa Bilimbi. In Philippines we called it Kamias or Iba, Balimbing is a different fruit in Philippines also known as Star Fruit both used for lime alternatives for cooking.
That Red Banana is endemic to South India which enjoys a VIP status, and it isn't even the sweetest banana out here. Ofcourse Bilimbi is also very common here, used for spicy pickles and in fish curries. It's called Erimbika (erimb in local language means iron, since it's high in iron and used to prevent anemia) and also as Pulichikka (puli meaning sour)
We generally use it in the Philippines as a substitute for dishes that require tamarind or coconut vinegar but we don't use it for ceviche or as we call it isdang kinilaw or fish ceviche in English for that we commonly use coconut vinegar and also we add chopped chalots and sliced cucumbers and chopped ginger and some salt some pepper chushed chillies optional and about one fourth cup of coconut vinegar to taste.
aka Kamias in Philippines mostly good in Fish Dishes that make more tasty when the food preserve in days. it also good when Balimbing aka Kamias dried thru sunlight it became natural spice for food it neutralize the saltiness of food and give aromatic and earthy texture
Balimbing is star fruit. That one is called kamias.
Usually dried then used on fish.
Belimbing is star fruit... but we Indonesian called what you eat as Belimbing Wuluh... the sour one..... We use it to cook dishes called Garang Asem, asem mean sour. It's chicken with coconut milk wrapped in banana leaves and grilled or steamed....
For us in Tagalog... In Quezon province we used kamias for cooking fresh fish like galunggong with garlic pepper & ginger, eggplant, a little of vinegar then simmer until all liquid are gone.. then add coconut milk & presto all rice are gone
Man, I miss Kamias... I feel like moving back to the Philippines just for accessibilities to fruits like these.
In Guyana 🇬🇾 we call balimbing , soury(because of it's taste) or balambi for short..... It is mostly used as a chutney or in curry dishes in my country, but I love it in fruit juices, it is just ideal for an extra citrusy kick🥴
The fruit was kamias (Sour Sop). In the Northern part of the Philippines, and even South, it is being dried and used in making sour soup or what we cal in Filipino Sinigang na Baboy (Sour Pork Soup) or Sinigang na Isda (Sour Fish Soup). Balimbing (Star Fruit) is bigger than kamias.
Isn't soursop the English we use for the guyabano?
We Indonesian, especially in Java, call that sour oval fruit as "belimbing wuluh". Balimbing/belimbing terms we use for starfruit. Almost same pronounce with the Filipino.
Balimbing is so sour when it's ripe though :) love love love from the Philippines!
In malaysia we call this "belimbing buluh" the common belimbing is starfruit. This fruit is super sour, we love to cook in our "masak lemak cili api" or spicy tumeric coconut curry. U can also eat it raw with dipping consist of shrimp paste, soy sauce sugar and chilli.
Yeah, similar in the Philippines, Balimbing is a local name of Star Fruit, while the Balimbing as they called it is what known to us as KAMIAS (in Tagalog) or IBÁ (in Bicol/Visaya - a local language in the Philippines)
If it comes from the philippines, thats called kamias..alternative for sinigang soup(tamarind soup) because of its sourness.. can be eaten raw if you like sour fruit taste stuff, just dip it in salt(thats how i eat it).
Balimbing is more of star shaped fruit-liked cacao and much bigger shape than kamias..and just like on how it is translated a two faced fruit, depends on whos eating it, its sometimes sour and sometimes sweet
(Sometimes some pregnant women crave for this fruit,its hard to find especially when you live in the city area,not all market sell this fruit)
