        "The other special food is Sambal Lingkung, a kind of flour made
        from fish and coconut. It is delicious and a little bit spicy.
        People in Belitung always make this food especially during
        "Lebaran" festival (Moslem holy day). They eat Sambal Lingkung
        together with "Ketupat". Ketupat is made from rice and it's
        famous in all other places in Indonesia as well."

And:

        " Ketupat is a savoury rice cake wrapped in woven coconut leaves
        to form a casing. The Ketupat casings are filled with uncooked
        rice to two third or three quarters full. The Ketupat is then
        boiled for about 3 hours. When the Ketupat is cooled, it is cut
        diagonally twice with the casing still intact. The casing is
        removed before being served traditionally with Satay, Soto Sayur
        Lodeh, Serunding or Sambal Tumis."

Or maybe you could make a fish flake broth kind of like Japanese Dashi.
