We are what we eat

Brunei traditional dishes of course have their own specialities. They are not just unique by their names but also because of their taste and how they are made. Traditional dishes usually are given priority during cultural ceremonies such as wedding ceremony and 'makan tahun' ('makan tahun' is an annual ceremony practiced by Kedayan people).

Kuih muih tradisi (In english; traditional junk food)

Basically, our traditional junk food has two categories: 'kuih muih kering' or 'dry junk food' and 'kuih muih basah' or 'wet junk food'. Eventhough the history of these two categories is unknown, however, in my opinion their purpose is to show numerous ways of baking.

Examples of 'kuih muih kering' are:



This is called Ardam. It is made from flour, oil and sugar.



This is Buahulu made from eggs, corn flour and sugar.



Madu Kesirat



Koya

Examples of 'kuih muih basah' are:



Kalupis



Salurut



Kusoi
