It is the administrative centre of Tutong District. Etymology the name 'Tutong' originated from an individual, and over time, the river where this person lived became known as Sungai Tutong, with those who settled there becoming known as the Tutong people. Initially, 'Tutong' referred to the people living along the river, a common naming convention in Borneo, with similar examples such as the Kelabit, named after the Labid River, and various river-dwelling groups in Sandakan and Kinabatangan.

Tutong River
The Tutong River () is a river in Tutong District, Brunei. It is the second longest of the four main rivers in the country. Etymology The story revolves around the marriage of Si Tutong to a shark (''ikan yu'') and features two central characters: Si Tutong and his younger brother, whose name remains unknown. The two brothers lived along the Tutong River. One day, they set out to sea in a small boat to catch fish. Suddenly, their boat capsised, and they were rescued by a shark that happened to be nearby. The shark carried them to its underwater dwelling at the ocean floor. Upon arrival, they discovered that the sharks had transformed into human-like beings. These sharks only assumed their fish form when outside their underwater residence. This transformation puzzled Si Tutong and his brother, who realised that the sharks that had rescued them were no ordinary creatures. The brothers were treated kindly and served a meal consisting of two options: fish and bananas. Each of them ...

Tutong People
The Tutong people are an ethnic group native to Brunei, mainly in Tutong District. They traditionally speak the Tutong language. They are officially recognised as one of the seven ethnic groups of the Bruneian Malay race (). Etymology The origin of the name 'Tutong' has been explained through various oral traditions. One version tells of a Murut man named Tutong who protected the people of Kampong Lurah Saban from headhunters (''ayau'') of the Kayan tribe. In gratitude, the river where he lived was named Sungai Tutong, now in Kampong Suran, which became the early settlement area for the Tutong people. Historical evidence supports this, including the discovery of human bones in jars (''tajau'') at Kampong Penanjong, believed to be an ancient Murut burial site. Additionally, remnants of Murut fruit plantations in Kampong Kiudang and Lamunin strengthen the link between the Murut and the Tutong region. Another story suggests the name comes from Si Letong, a figure from Cele ...

Scorched Rice
Scorched rice, also known as crunchy rice, is a thin crust of slightly browned rice at the bottom of the cooking pot. It is produced during the cooking of rice over direct heat from a flame. Varieties Cape Verde In Cape Verdean cuisine, the burned, scorched, or otherwise crunchy rice at the bottom of the pot is referred to as ''kokorota''. It is traditionally cooked outside, or in a semi-enclosed cooking space in a three-legged metal pot over burning firewood. In modern times, butane-powered stoves and store-bought pots are more commonly used in Cape Verde; however, the three-legged pots are still frequently used in the rural areas and when making food for parties, festivals or any occasion where large quantities of food are required. China ''Guōbā'' ( zh, t=鍋巴, s=锅巴, p=guō bā, l=pan adherents), sometimes known as ''mi guoba'' (, ) is a Chinese food ingredient consisting of scorched rice. Traditionally ''guōbā'' forms during the boiling of rice over direct hea ...
