Introduction of Brunei's special cuisine
chicken butt
Brunei people's favorite snack. Five or six chicken butts are strung together, brushed with thick oil and honey, and baked with big fire. The roast chicken's ass is tender and shiny, and it is chewy and elastic to bite.
Heavy-flavored seasonings cover up the original smell of chicken buttocks well, making people full of meat. It can be said that this is a must-see snack when you come to Brunei.
Fried flour slices with shrimp flavor
Shrimp slices are a traditional food in Brunei and are deeply loved by local people. Shrimp slices in Brunei are produced and sold, and are rarely exported. Even if there is, it is only partially shipped to Dubai and other places. Therefore, if you want to taste authentic Brunei shrimp slices, you must buy them locally.
This kind of shrimp slices tastes very different from what we usually eat. After frying, each slice is palm-sized and full of crispy shrimp flavor.
West rice
Western-style rice is a distinctive traditional food in Brunei, which is deeply loved by local people. Grind coconut core into powder, add hot water and stir, and after cooling, it will form a thick and transparent appearance. Dip it in special seasonings or eat it with different vegetables.
The taste of western rice itself is soft and waxy, and the sweet and sour sauce made of shrimp, durian, lime and pepper is unforgettable.
