Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently met the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, on a historic state visit to the Southeast Asian nation. Following bilateral talks on PM Modi’s second day in Brunei, the Sultan hosted a special lunch for PM Modi at his residence, Istana Nurul Iman. The event took place on September 4, 2024. The Indian Embassy in Brunei has shared glimpses of the meal enjoyed by the dignitaries on X (formerly Twitter). The first course was avocado, rice cake with vegetables, cucumber, asparagus with pickled radish. This was followed by lentil soup with crispy omelette and broccoli.

The third course consisted of a quiche with vegetables, spinach, wild mushrooms with black truffle, pumpkin puree and peas. The presentation of the different elements of the dish was very deliberate. The skilful application of the puree next to the quiche evoked the tricolour flag of India. See the following photo:
