Ambuyat
When you look at this starchy glob, words like "appealing" don't automatically come to mind. This gooey starch, also known as ambuyat, is made from sago palm, which is extracted from the trunk of a Rumbia tree. Ambuyat is a Bruneian dish that is traditionally eaten with a pair of pronged bamboo chopsticks known as candas to scoop and roll around it. When eaten on its own, the taste is simply dull, so it's better to pair the ambuyat with a flavorful dipping sauce.
