Asam Siok, or chicken with rice and bamboo is one of Bidayuhs famous foods, although this food is rarely known to the Sarawakians. This food is the Bidayuh’s own version of Manok Pansoh, which is originally came from the Ibans.

Kersem, or fermented pork is also another Bidayuh’s special food. This food is a very salty and strong smelling food, but what i’m amazed by this food is that this food can be kept for months if the dishes prepare in the right way. Inside kersem, a pork meat is mixed with salt and cooked rice and left fermented in a pot called urn for a few months.
Another interesting dishes from the Bidayuh community is their very own alcoholic drink known as Tepui. Normally, they drink tepui right after the dinner. Because it is made out of sugarcane juice, this alcoholic drink is both smooth and soothing drink, compared to tuak and langkau.
