Brunei Hidden Gems: Nasi Briyani Katok!

When fellow Brunei Foodie Marul sent a picture of this Nasi Briyani Katok to our foodies group chat ~~ I was quite excited to check it out! The usual $1 Nasi Katok consist of plain rice, a choice of sambal and fried chicken. In Brunei, we had already witnessed Nasi Katok Buttermilk Chicken or Nasi Katok Sambal Cheese as well as Nasi Katok Lily (using grilled chicken) which offers extra value for your $1! Nasi Briyani Katok basically gives the added value of substituting plain rice with Nasi Briyani – a fragrant yellow rice with spices – usually found in Indian restaurants.

 

To find this place was pretty easy ~~ it is at the small lorong right opposite HSBC bandar and next to Wisma Jaya (AIA building) – this lorong is called Lorong Jintan Manis – you can walk to this lorong from Wisma Jaya or HSBC building but you need to drive from the street opposite the bus station – look out for Lorong Jintan Manis and turn in (do not turn towards the waterfront direction – turn towards HSBC building) – you will spot Nur Muhammed Enterprise (next to Pustaka Waqiah) and spot the Nasi Briyani Katok sign!

 

 

YUM! You can choose your chicken like your typical nasi katok ~~~

 

I personally think the rice taste pretty good even on its own and enhances the nasi katok experience ~ the sambal while being slightly sweet ~~ does have a little spicy kick to it ~ though it won’t be enough to satisfy those who love hot sambals ~~

 

You can see herbs added to the nasi briyani ~~ a legit nasi briyani ~~ the only complain I would give is that its not entirely basmati rice ~~ more like a mixture or some sorts but hey ~ it’s $1 and it tastes good ~~~ so it’s all good my dear Nasi Briyani Katok ~~

 

For just $1 – I give this Nasi Briyani Katok the thumbs up and I’ll be asking my friends who work in Bandar to tapao from me after they finish work ~~ hu hu hu ~~ according to the lady who works there-  they open from 7am till 6pm.

KFC launches limited edition Cheezy Mushroom Crunch!

KFC has been launching a lot of unique cheesy creations but this one takes it up a notch by combining mushrooms and cheese sauce to create the Cheezy Mushroom Crunch!

 

The Cheezy Mushroom range also includes the burger ~~ Crispy boneless chicken only made better with a cheezy mushroom sauce! OMG!

 

 

I was at the Kiulap branch of KFC and realized they rennovated the branch to sport a more modern dining ambience. I think this is a good step to make dining more enjoyable at KFC.

 

This is a big change from the bright colours of your typical KFC branch – and gives a modern cafe feel to it ~~

 

So if you feel like having KFC but your date complains that she wants some place more fancy for coffee or tea ~~ take her to the KFC Kiulap branch ~~ where she can even take some nice OOTD selfies ~

 

Ahhhh who could say no to iced milo ~~~

 

Brunei’s KFC outlets are of course HALAL certified!

 

Reasons to love KFC ~~

 

Now back to business ~~~ this is the cheezy mushroom crunch 2 pc combo set (chopping board not included – just for photoshoot purposes) – you get your two piece crispy KFC and the cheezy mushroom sauce on the side, with coleslaw and whipped potato, and soft drink for $7.50*

 

The fun part comes when you pour the cheezy mushroom sauce on the crispy crunchy KFC! Ooo MAMAAAAMIA!!!

 

Flow flow ~~~ let all the cheezy mushroom lava bath your crispy crunchy fried chicken!! *OMG OMG*

 

Or if you feel atas or posh ~~~ you could just dip your chicken on to the sauce ~~~ there are many ways to enjoy this yummy cheezy mushrooomy goodness ~~~~ Btw – if you order ala carte (one piece) – it will be $3 for each piece of chicken.

 

This is perfect for takeaway as well ~~ as the sauce is separate ~ you can drizzle or dip when you want ~~~

 

You can do your own photoshoot at home if you want by arranging your KFC Cheezy Mushroom Crunch like this!

 

The Cheezy Mushroom burger is a great addition ~~ most love mushrooms in their burgers ~~ having it in a cheezy sauce just makes it better! The combo is $6.20 with fries and soft drink ~~
