29th MAY 2023 ~ Your trip to Brunei would not be complete without trying its signature dish - Nasi Katok. One could easily find this rice dish almost everywhere in Bandar Seri Begawan.
Nasi Katok basically was white rice with a piece of fried chicken and "sambal" - ground chili paste. One could choose the "sambal" from the list of different types of "sambal" available. However, there were no vegetables at all. The price for a pack of Nasi Katok was fixed: BND1.50, everywhere nationwide.
We went to get our Nasi Katok at Gadong Uptown, the food court located just beside Gadong Night Market. There were other stalls selling other kinds of food and drinks too. There were not many people at that time so we could easily take photos without being observed by others.
We were happy that we had sampled our very first Nasi Katok. There was not much to complain after paying just BND1.50 for it. I would recommend an innovation for Nasi Katok that is to put a slice or two of cucumber in it. Wonder if that would change the original recipe of the rice.
