Pahang
The staple food in a Pahang culinary tradition is rice, which is also common in any other Asian cultures. Rice is commonly served with "gulai" or "singgang", "ulam" and "sambal" condiments. Popular "sambals" are "sambal hitam", "sambal tempoyak" and "sambal belacan". One of the most famous "gulai" in Pahang that has been established as the signature dish of the state, is "Gulai Tempoyak Patin". The dish consists of juicy, tender patin fish cooked in curry made of "tempoyak" (fermented durian). Other notable Pahang "gulai" are "Gulai Patin Asam Rebus" (a dish similar to the "Gulai Tempoyak Patin" but the watery soup or gravy, tastes a little sour and spicy) and "Gulai Asam Rong" (a sour and slightly bitter taste gulai made of processed rubber tree fruits). Other popular Pahang dishes are "Nasi Kebuli", "Opor Daging" and "Paceri Nenas".
