One of the most popular dish in the Riau Islands is its variety of the Nasi lemak, with some notable differences compared to the variety found in neighboring Malaysia and Singapore. In archipelago region like Riau Islands, usually seafood are used to accompany nasi lemak, such as "ikan bilis" (anchovy), "ikan tamban" ("Sardinella longiceps"), "ikan selar kuning" ("Selaroides leptolepis"), "sotong" or "cumi-cumi" (squid) or small Prawns. The Riau islands traditional nasi lemak is quite similar to Malaysian version; it comes as a platter of coconut rice wrapped in banana leaf, with cucumber slices, small dried anchovies ("ikan bilis"), roasted peanuts, hard boiled egg, and hot spicy sauce ("sambal"). The Riau islands version however, comes with an addition of small fish locally known as "ikan tamban", usually fried with "sambal" chili paste and very crispy, the whole fish is edible. Prawns and Squids are also commonly stir-fried in chili paste as "sambal udang" or "sambal cumi".
