Bringing Traditional Orang Laut Dish From Pulau Semakau to Singapore with Firdaus (@oranglautsg)

Drawing inspiration from his ancestral ties to Pulau Semakau, Firdaus takes us on a gastronomic journey to uncover the secrets of a traditional Orang Laut dish. As a fourth-generation descendant of the Orang Laut, Firdaus's roots are intertwined with the maritime traditions of Singapore and the Riau Islands. From the shores of this idyllic island emerges a recipe that speaks volumes about the ingenuity and resourcefulness of coastal communities.

At the heart of this dish, Gulai Ikan Nenas, lies the vibrant flavours of pineapples cooked to perfection in a savoury prawn broth, infused with the heat of dried chilies and the aroma of belacan. Paired with crispy fried fish sourced from the bountiful reefs, this culinary creation is a testament to the symbiotic relationship between man and sea.

For Firdaus, this dish is more than just a recipe; it's a tangible link to his cultural heritage, passed down from his great-grandmother, a native of Pulau Semakau. Through its preparation, he honours the maritime crafts and ancestral knowledge that have shaped his identity.
