On several ocassions, we were invited and served this very traditional food of Brunei - Ambuyat. Ambuyat is made from pouring hot water into ambulung or better known as sago which is derived from a Rumbia tree trunk. Sounds simple but actually it requires lots of practice before one can make a good ambuyat mix.Ambuyat is eaten or swallowed by rolling the sago around two bamboo sticks (Chandas kata orang Brunei) then dipped into a sauce made from sour local fruits for example binjai. One can alos use fish gravy or curry gravy. Of course the best way to enjoy ambuyat is to eat with lots of dishes of fish, meat, prawn and vegetables.
