Jungle fern can be prepared without the delicious belacan, although it will still exude copious amounts of the yummy black slime.

To the OP, for more details about some of your food options in Malaysia, my original trip report is located here and the specific chapter describing various forms of jungle grub (accompanied by photos and videos) is located here.
