In traditional medicine, the Simpoh Air has been used to staunch bleeding wounds. In Brunei, the fruit pulp is even used to wash hair. The leaves were once used popularly to wrap food like tempeh (fermented soya bean cakes) or formed into shallow cones to contain traditional "fast food" like rojak. You can also try munching on the flower petals … the Malays sometimes cook it as a lemak (savoury) dish.
