Back at home...

What's Brunei official dish really? Besides ambuyat?. I've been socialising with quite a number of Bruneian students. When asked "Apa kau rindu makan di Brunei? or What are you craving?" the answers i got is brutally obvious. -> Kolo mee, Kway teow, Nasi ayam, Buttermilk and somemore Butter buttermilk and always nasi katok. Im just numb. I wonder if we appreciate food that much or the principal (makan asal kanyang sama murah) stucked in mind. How many would pay for quality food that uses quality ingredients? How many fit health concious doctors and food scientist in Brunei acknowldege trans fatty acid, free-Range Chicken (Ayam Kampong), suet Pastry (all those cake batik, cake roll), all those types of margarines, cheap-deep frying oil or the benefits of Rapeseed oil as similar to sunflower oil. does anyone knows?. Whats the average of people got admitted to Jerudong hospital for heart attack. What's the average age? Do we worry?. So makan saja. Control makan haha. So for yesterday's makan time, I made the missus and friends something like "back home".
Chicken leg confit Korma, Potatoes fish veloute' with Pilau Rice.
