Travel Information

Brunei DarussalamFood and Drink

Discover Brunei's diverse flavors through its unique culinary delights.

Bruneian cuisine is influenced by East Asian cuisine. Primary staples are rice and noodles, with fish, chicken, and beef served as the staple carbohydrate. Coconut milk and chilli are common ingredients to flavour dishes. The food is halal and pork is avoided.

The national dish is Ambuyat, a flavourless sago dipped in a sauce called cacah. It is served with vegetables or other dishes such as fried fish, cow's lungs, beef stew, and other mains. Nasi Katok, a delicious dish of fried chicken and rice, is sold throughout the country at restaurants, markets, and fast food stands. It is available 24/7 and the cheapest meal you can buy.

Satay or meat on a stick is a common street food. The meat ranges from chicken and lamb to beef and rabbit, and served with classic peanut sauce. Pulut panggang is a popular dish consisting of steamed glutinous rice and a spicy sambal filling served wrapped in a banana leaf. It is common at hawker stalls and street markets. Try all during your Brunei vacation.
