Brunei Food

Bruneian cuisine is similar to Malay food that can be found in Malaysia. The majority of the dishes are rich and spicy, and are eaten with rice or noodles. The hawker stalls offer pretty much the same fare, like barbequed fish, chicken wings, satay, kueh melayu and so on. Chinese food such as chicken rice, laksa, noodle dishes and seafood are available at Chinese restaurants. Thosai, tandoori bread and vegetarian fare (occasionally) can be found at many Indian restaurants. A local speciality is Ambuyat, otherwise known as 'edible glue'. This is accompanied by grilled fish, a spicy mango sauce and a selection of vegetables. Other local favourites include beef rendang, nasi lemak and puteri nanas.
