For the Dayaks of Sarawak, the cooking culture of barbecuing over open fire gathers kin and friends to span the "ruai" of traditional longhouses. So ubiquitous that it is known simply as ‘Q’. Now this tradition is urbanised by "rumah asaps" or smokehouses in towns and cities across the state with distinctive BBQ-ing techniques and dishes.
Gather, Dayak Rumah Asap-style, for a specially curated culinary evening featuring the ethnic dishes of Sarawak's traditional smokehouses.
Ethnic Sarawak Nights
Passionately Sarawakian, Karen started #ethnicsarawaknight, her series of dining evenings, curated for a singular purpose - to share the undiscovered gastronomic treasure that is the ethnic cuisine of her home state. With 40 distinct sub-ethnic groups, a primary rainforest that provides native tribes with indigenous ingredients and flavours, and age-preserved ways of cooking - Sarawak’s indigenous cuisine is a true collection of culture, legacy, and history. Karen uncovers these flavours, refines the techniques and curates them into cultural morsels for her diners to experience. Not just a meal, also an insight into Sarawak’s ethnic heritage ways through food. Come join Karen and her team as they take you on a trip to Borneo!
