hati buyah

Hati buyah is a lung preparation eaten in Brunei and neighbouring Borneo communities. Brunei’s tourism department identifies fried beef lung as a topping for local soto, a beef-broth noodle soup. It also appears as seasoned smoked skewers across the border in Limbang, where customers include visitors from Brunei.[1][2]

In an interview at Limbang’s Ramadan bazaar, vendor Sainy Dullah describes boiling buffalo lung before cutting it, marinating it with spices and smoking it. His wife Hamdiah Ahmad makes the marinade, and the finished pieces are sold on skewers. This account documents one border-region preparation rather than a single recipe for every Bruneian hati buyah.[2]
