Brunei

Shots from my trip to Brunei


'Ambuyat' is Brunei's 'native' food. Ambuyat is also known as 'edible glue'. It is a sago 'glue' served with a piquant hot sauce which one has to twirl around a pair of conjoined bamboo sticks, dip in the sauce and swallow. The 'trick' to eating 'ambuyat' is not to chew but to allow the gob to slide down the throat. 'Ambuyat' eating requires practice and is only for those who dare to try new things when in a new country. The dish is an acquired taste and those who have tried it usually comeback for more


Tumpi, another national dish
