MALAYSIA is a diverse country, and with this diversity comes a variety of cultures, traditions, and foods. However, rice remains a staple for almost all the communities in Malaysia, including for festive celebrations. Just like how ketupat and lemang are must haves for the Malays on Hari Raya Aidilfitri, so is burasak for the Bugis communities in Johor, Sabah, and Sarawak. Burasak, also known as buras or burasa, is made with rice and coconut milk that are first boiled together before the cooked rice is wrapped in banana leaves and boiled further for up to 12 hours.
