Breakfast: Ambuyat dengan Daging Salai – Sago Paste with Smoked Beef

Ambuyat is Brunei’s national dish, made from sago starch stirred into a sticky, translucent paste. It’s eaten by twirling it around bamboo sticks and dipping it into savory sauces. When paired with daging salai (smoked beef), it becomes a smoky, hearty breakfast. At MUNCH CLASSES, you’ll learn how to prepare ambuyat’s unique texture and balance it with bold accompaniments.

Ambuyat reflects Brunei’s forest heritage and communal eating traditions. The saying “Ambuyat satu, hati bersatu” (“One ambuyat, one heart”) speaks to its role in uniting families. At MUNCH CLASSES, we teach the art of dipping, twirling, and savoring this national treasure.
