Mencungkil Ambuyat

This was last Thursday. An unplanned feast of Ambuyat and its condiments. In case anyone is curious, Ambuyat is a traditional Brunei delicacy (can also be found in Sabah & Sarawak). The Ambuyat is made from sago. To prepare it, freshly boiling water is added to ambulong (ambuyat in its powder form) and it would become a starchy substance. We usually use Candas (malay version of chopstick) to cungkil (pick) the Ambuyat, dip it in your favourite dip/sauce (usually something sweet & sour). It's an acquired taste, but once you like it, you will forever like it. The fun bit is to eat it with a group of people while it's hot!
