The showy pink flowers are used in decorative arrangements, ''bunga kecombrang'', are an important ingredient across Southeast Asia. In North Sumatra (especially in Karo tribe), the flower buds are used for a stewed fish dish called ''Arsik ikan mas'' (Andaliman/Szechuan pepper-spiced carp). In Bali, people use the white part of the bottom part of the trunk for cooking chilli sauce called "Sambal Bongkot", and use the flower buds to make chilli sauce called "Sambal Kecicang".  In Thailand, it is eaten in a kind of [[Thai salad]] preparation.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120801195651/http://www.plantgenetics-rspg.org/schoolbot_club/index.php?name=webboard&file=read&id=44 ความคิดเห็นที่ 15  - สวัสดีครับป้าอัม ลุงไก่] <!-- domain expired --></ref>{{unreliable source?|reason=Based on Google Translate, this appears to be just a commercial sales site|date=January 2018}}
