📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Kelupis is a traditional Bruneian snack: sticky rice is half-cooked in coconut milk, wrapped in long parcels of nyirik leaves, and steamed. Chewy with a coconut flavor, it's eaten with meat dishes such as curry or rendang. It's essential at weddings and Hari Raya (the festival ending the fast).

🌆 Where it's eaten: On Hari Raya morning in a Brunei home, long leaf-wrapped parcels of sticky rice are piled high as relatives gather to eat them with meat dishes.
