Ambuyat is really special, and the chopsticks used to eat it are also special! That Mosque is majestic and very beautiful! I like what you said, Luke, the night market is a daily food festival, well said! I think Brunei's barbecue looks better, the color of the food baked with their sauce is so beautiful! Putting potatoes in tofu is really a good idea. It should be a big business opportunity if it sold in Taiwan! Remember we talked about Min-Jiang Kueh? Unexpectedly, Brunei's Kueh are more like Taiwanese Min-Jiang Kueh than Indonesian Kueh. Its thickness is closer to Taiwan's Min-Jiang Kueh, and it has less butter! Brunei is a great series and you introduced every food item very well! You did a super great job, thank you very much for sharing!👍🥰👏
Thank you for coming to Brunei Luke! If you come to Brunei next time make sure to try Ayamku, Ideal and Xpress which are local Bruneian fast food restaurants.Enjoy!
Love this video! It was a pleasure to host you over for Ambuyat, we hope everyone would give Ambuyat a try on your next trip to Brunei the land of unexpected treasure ✨
I’m glad you get to try ambuyat, Brunei’s national dish. Although it’s quite special, it’s not unique to the country. You can find the same thing with other names in the neighboring Malaysia (where it’s called “linut”), Indonesia (called “papeda” and many other names), and even as far as Papua New Guinea (called “nangu” and other names).
@@LukeMartinI think the way we eat it with Candas, side dishes and cacah is still considered unique to Brunei. You won't find that in any of those other countries.

In Papua New Guinea, East Sepik Province, ambuyat is a delicacy. We call it nangu. We serve on top of it smoked fish pieces or chicken cocktail soup in coconut milk or open a tin of fish and pour over it.
I work inside the mall, I rarely go to the pasar gadong myself. Planning to go there soon and buy me some kuih malaya. I need to try that choco cheese combo, i never had them in my life honestly.\
Personally, i would just use the candas to eat everything, without having to switch over to spoon and fork. I know it is a bit daunting to use the candas but it’s great practice. The Jame in Jame Asr Mosque is pronounced as Ja-mek, not Jay-mee 😅
I love 😅chicken butt when it’s rotisserie chicken 🍗👌👌 it’s yummy or chicken butt in a Latino style stew 👌👌👌 o chicken butt in a Peruvian or Ecuadorian soup 🍲 👌👌
When you say chicken's ass, people are going to think that you're eating the actual butt hole! When in fact you're not eating that at all, when they say they are grilling chicken butts, they are grilling the little fatty piece that is the tail and fat between the two thighs of the chicken. Most times this gets thrown away and so if they can make use of this food and make it delicious, then obviously they're going to! So no! No no no! No! Is not the chicken asshole! It is simply the chicken butt and tail fat.
Ambuyat is eaten by Borneo people. I mean, all over Borneo. From Kalimantan to Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei. So, a national dish? I don't think so. Before any of you start arguing with me. I'm Sabahan and we eat Ambuyat like eating rice.
It can be eaten elsewhere and still be a national dish to a specific county, you know. Just like how Malaysia calls nasi lemak as their national dish. It is regularly eaten in countries such as Singapore and Brunei. Being a national dish of a specific country is not gatekeeping the dish. SEAsia is multicultural, we are bound to have overlaps in our culture and daily practices. So your tone is unnecessarily aggressive. And its great you eat it daily, we need more people enjoying sago. Keep the culture alive, as one would say.
@@WavesofColours great, when the one who is offended by my comment and said my tone "unnecessary aggressive". I bet you don't want to admit that Ambuyat does not belong to Brunei exclusively. Ask the Dayak in Kalimantan, Sarawak and Dusun people in Sabah if they agree to that. Have a nice day. Ambuyat is belong to native people of Borneo and not exclusively to Brunei. That's the fact.
@@teomai Whoosh~ Wow someone missed the point, didn't they. Being a national dish does not mean that it only belongs for that country. It just means that the specific country associates that dish to their cultural identity.
@@teomai Yes, I have and yours as well. However, you would rather just ignore points of reason and continue to be intolerant due to ego and pride. Apologies, apparently discussions with you are just wasted breath.
Excuse me, we have had ambuyat as our traditional dish for generations, and yes we are aware of the similarities of it with Papeda from Papua, and Linut from Sarawak. The intellectual difference is that we understand that we're from the same region with rich history of trade between countries, we share similarities in cultures and cuisines so there's bound to be overlaps. Gatekeeping is such in poor taste, that is such a colonial mindset.
FYI Brunei itu dulu besar,ampir keseluruhan pulau Borneo(sabah&sarawak),dan sebahagian kepulauan Philipines,tidak hairan lah makanan mahupun budaya hampir sama.North Maluku kan hampir dengan Phillipines.
Luke admits at the end that he's sponsored by the Brunei Tourism Board, which likely covered all his expenses. If that's the case, your credibility is compromised and you become just another pitchman. Luke wouldn't be the first foodvlogger to sell out.
That pasty stuff that you are sticking your chopsticks in looks pretty interesting but it would be better if it was in your own private bowl. Unless I'm related to people, I don't double dip into community bowls.
The pasty stuff is called cacah, and normally we split them into individual bowls even among families because families in brunei are usually big and rarely shares (or maybe that’s just me 😅).
