It is transformed into a viscous paste and eaten with a bamboo fork called a candas. Ambuyat represents Bruneian heritage and is often enjoyed during festive occasions. Nasi Katok: A beloved local favorite, Nasi Katok consists of steamed rice, fried chicken, and a generous serving of sambal (spicy sauce). Originally sold by street vendors who would knock on doors (katok) to sell their food, Nasi Katok has become a cultural symbol of Bruneian street food.

The vibrant yellow color from the turmeric, along with the blend of spices, creates a mouthwatering dish that showcases Brunei’s culinary creativity. Nasi Lemak: Fragrant coconut rice, sambal, anchovies, roasted peanuts, sliced cucumbers, and a hard-boiled egg make up this flavorful and satisfying meal. Although Nasi Lemak is widely associated with Malaysia, it has also become popular in Brunei. Preserving Culinary Heritage: Efforts are being made to preserve Brunei’s culinary heritage. Food festivals, such as the Brunei Food Festival, celebrate traditional cuisine, allowing locals and visitors alike to savor authentic Bruneian dishes.
