Another dish that is often present in the meals of the people within the lake area is pomelo leaf rolls made from pork. Accordingly, the belly pork is sliced, marinated with fish sauce and onions. The young pomelo leaves are wrapped in half, half of each piece of meat is rolled, and placed in a bamboo clip grilled over hot coals. When being eaten, the polemo leaves have a crispy, the broken flavor mixed with yellow hunting meat, dissipating the nausea and a little bit of bitterness on the tip of the tongue.
