Paha-Paha vegetable is in the category of a wild plant. It is delicious regardless of how you cook it. You may cook it lemak style with chilli either mix with prawn, crab or bamboo shoots.

In Labuan, it is normally cooked with salted fish and pumpkin or fried with anchovies. It is so delicious and for sure you will add more rice to enjoy it.

For those on diet, you can also add it in soup boil with egg or just the leaves itself. This vegetable is organic and very healthy to eat. …

Ambuyat, an essential food that is popular among the Brunei-Malays community. It is a fundamental meal that is mostly available in every home. It is made of sago starch sold at the Labuan dry market or the weekend market at RM2.00 per packet only.

The making process is very simple but required skill and passion: mix the sago with cold water to soften it and leave it for 1-2 minutes. Then, add hot water slowly and continuously while stirring the mixture. The ambuyat will be ready when the mixture turns into a white gluey texture.

You may have ambuyat to substitute rice for lunch or dinner. Ambuyat will be testier when it is eaten with a variety of gravies and side dishes. Those who like spicy can add sambal to the gravy.

Diners use a pair of chopsticks with the joined end called “candas”. Just twist the candas around the ambuyat, dip it in any of the gravies and immediately swallow it.

The Brunei-Malays believe that ambuyat has a cooling effect, it is a light meal and good for cleansing.

For the Brunei-Malays, ambuyat cannot be consumed or served when there is a death in the family within 40 days.

Looks like a paddy field? But it is not a paddy field…

30 million years of age… a unique Geosite… rarely found in Malaysia or probably the only one in Malaysia. It is called Tessellated Pavement.

This structure is the result of active earth tectonic processes occurring in the western part of Borneo since 23 million years ago.

The shape is similar to the one found in Eagle Bay Tasmania.
