Originally a Western-style eatery, Yi’s Nation has undergone a transformation, blending traditional Vietnamese dishes like pho, banh mi, fresh and fried spring rolls, and signature Vietnamese salads into its menu. Each dish tells a story of culture, family memories, and homeland pride, as showcased at the festival.

The festival brought together nearly 20 overseas representative agencies, each showcasing uniquely themed booths highlighting their national identities, contributing to an atmosphere of unity, friendship, and rich cultural identity.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, is the most important festival for Muslims. It is a time of reunion, with families and friends gathering to enjoy traditional dishes, share joyful moments, and celebrate with music and festivities.

With Islam as the official religion and Muslims comprising around 80% of Brunei’s 500,000 residents, the festival holds deep cultural significance in this sparsely populated Southeast Asian nation, where 76% live in urban areas.
