The awareness and trying of ethnic cuisine have increased due to the developing exchange of trade, movement of ethnicities across the globe, and tourist traveling opportunities. More people consume ethnic food for the appreciation of the culture and taste. Although the Dayaks are the largest indigenous group in Malaysia, little is done to date to explicate why Malaysians consume Dayak food. The present study aims to investigate the Dayak food choice of non-Dayak Malaysians and to assess its effect on consumption intention. Self-administered questionnaire-based survey was used, and 195 respondents were sampled purposively in Malaysia. Partial least squares, a variance-based structural equation modeling technique, was utilized to perform the assessment of both the measurement and the structural models. The results show that only health consideration and sensory appeal have a positive effect on the intention to consume Dayak food. It implies that most Malaysians consume only selected Dayak dishes occasionally. Hence, it is imperative that Dayak food is promoted among the local people first. Only when Dayak food is appreciated and accepted by the local people could the food be further promoted to the tourists. This would have a positive impact on the food business and tourism industry in Sarawak and Malaysia
