INDONESIA
Nasi Goreng is a delicious spicy stir-fried rice.
It's more flavourful than regular fried rice with
the addition of shrimp paste, fish sauce,
tamarind and a few other goodies. Topped with
a runny fried egg (those crispy edges are a
must), this classic Asian meal makes a great
family dinner. When you're in the mood for
street food at home, this is the one to go for.
BRUNEI
Ambuyat is the extremely sticky national dish of
Brunei, made with sago palm tree starch that gets
cooked into a substance similar to glue. It is
typically eaten for lunch with a fermented sour
sauce and a variety of vegetables on the side.
Ambuyat is traditionally prepared for special
occasions where it serves as a substitute for rice.
Locals eat it with a double pronged bamboo stick
known as chandas and the best way to eat
Ambuyat is by twirling it around the stick, then
dipping it into a sauce and swallowing it instead
of chewing.
PHILIPPINES
Adobo is a popular Filipino dish and cooking
process in Philippine cuisine that involves

and simmered in the marinade. It has
occasionally been considered the unofficial
national dish in the Philippines.
MALAYSIA
Nasi Lemak consists of rice cooked in coconut

purpose and became the Malaysian national dish
which can be eaten at any time
