Nasi katok

Nasi katok is a Bruneian meal consisting of rice, a piece of fried chicken and sambal. Preparations vary, but these three components form the basic combination described by the country’s tourism department. The sambal is served as the dip or condiment alongside the rice and chicken.[1]

The name combines nasi, meaning rice, with katok, meaning knock. Brunei Tourism recounts a story that customers once knocked on a seller’s door to order it. Today it is part of the food-stall repertoire: the department lists nasi katok among the meals available at the Sumbangsih Mulia food court in Beribi.[1][2]
