Often dominated by cooking fish. They rarely eat steaming method, only in the festive holiday or a grand sacrificial ceremony, before the glutinous rice, sticky rice cake made of steamed millet, wine is also useful when the distillation. For taro, potato and fish, bushmeat and so on, they like to use the baking method. Catch, especially when hunting deer, they would immediately kill, barbecue, game hunters and bring out the aroma of hunting desire and confidence. Sometimes removed from the tree nest eggs, baked directly on the wood on, when they go out as a nutritious dry food.
