    Brunei prawns is a wonderful dish, fresh with excellent flavor, served over coconut rice.

    It is quick and easy to make the tamarind paste adds a great sour flavor while the sugar and sesame oil adds a lovely sweetness.

    Petai is a green bean that is rather large. The pods are removed and just the seed is used. I could not obtain these special beans and just used regular fresh green beans cut diagonally, it was superb!
