Pulut Lepa
Made of glutinous rice and fish, this snack food is prepared over a barbecue. Boiled fish meat is mixed with sliced onions, and dried chilies and coconut. The mixture is cooked until it is dry. This is then used as a filling for the glutinous rice rolls. Wrappings of banana leaf cover the food before it is cooked over the fire.

Sata
A savory dish, the sata is cooked wrapped in a banana leaf over a low-fire barbecue. Fish meat, shallots, and ginger are pounded to a paste. This paste is then wrapped in banana leaf before it is cooked.
