Established in 2021, Nasi Talam serves traditional Bruneian dishes in a uniquely Bruneian way: plated on a round talam – a bamboo-woven tray. Local home-style dishes such as badal kicap (chicken gizzard cooked with soy sauce), local beef jerky lalap daging, liking kuasi (dried fish seasoned with spices and tamarind) and belutak, a Bruneian-style cured sausage. At the centre of it all is a large bowl of steaming white or turmeric rice. This lavish meal is to be shared with a group of people, suitably embodying the Bruneian culture of community sharing.
For those without access to a private car, we recommend using Dart (think of it as Brunei’s Uber or Grab) which is the most convenient option for traveling in Brunei. While it provides hassle-free booking and convenience, keep in mind that pricing may vary.
