Description of Daun Kaduk

 The Wild Pepper leaf (Daun Kaduk) is from the Piper stylosum or the Piper sarmentosum plants, also known in Malay as
the Kaduk Hutan, which belongs to the pepper family. This plant grows commonly in shaded hedge-rows in Singapore and in the S.E. Asia region.

It has a mildly bitter taste, and is used finely shredded in Singapore laksa, and also in Thai and Penang style steamed otak-otak, and other local dishes, where it is also eaten raw as a kind of salad.
