5 Ways to Sample the Best Street Food in Brunei


Best known for its secluded beaches and lush rainforest reserves, this newly independent nation also happens to be a playground for path finding foodies. Take your taste buds on a culinary adventure with our guide to Brunei’s hawker-style night markets, from the budget friendly Tamu Kianggeh to the ultra-popular Pasar Malam Gadong.



Tamu Kianggeh


Address: Jln Sungai Kianggeh; Opening Hours: Daily, 5:00am-5:00pm.
For rock bottom prices on Brunei’s tastiest dishes, make a beeline for Tamu Kianggeh. Less refined than the city’s sit-down dining institutions, this bustling marketplace offers travellers the quintessential street food experience with local favourites like Nasi Lemak featuring prominently on the stallholders’ menus. Tuck into this classic fried rice dish or opt to try something more adventurous, like fried chicken with a fiery chilli sambal or crispy, Chinese-style pastries.

Tamu Selera


Address: Corner of Jln Tasek Lama & Jln Stoney; Opening Hours: Daily, 4:00pm-12:00am.
Conveniently located a mere 500 metres from the stylish comfort of Radisson Hotel Brunei Darussalam, this Malaysian-style market is the perfect place to grab a fuss-free dinner or a late night snack. Complete with a shady garden area and plenty of kiosks to choose from, this crowd-pleasing destination sees mouth-watering rice and noodle dishes served up by the plate full, with a choice of seafood, meat or chicken to match.

Lim Ah Siaw Pork Market


Address: Jln Teraja; Opening Hours: Daily, 6:30am-10:00pm.
More akin to a restaurant than a marketplace – this quirky, bazaar-style venue serves a seemingly endless array of tip-to-tail delicacies from dumplings and steamed buns to curries and soups. Well worth a stop on any foodie tour, this authentic food hall has plenty of other meat, seafood and vegetarian options on offer if pork-only dishes don’t suit.



Gerai Makan Jalan Residency


Address: Jln Residency; Opening Hours: Daily, 4:00pm-12:00am.
Boasting a serene riverside location, this vibrant food bazaar overlooks the stilt-supported homes of Brunei’s world-famous Water Village, otherwise known as Kampong Ayer. An ideal choice for dinner with a view, travellers to Gerai Makan Jalan Residency can grab a seat on the water’s edge before tucking into aromatic rice dishes, grilled meat skewers and flavoursome broth-based soups.

Pasar Malam Gadong


Address: Jln Pasar Gadong; Opening Hours: Daily, 4:00pm-10:00pm.
The most popular of Brunei’s many food markets, Pasar Malam Gadong is known for serving the most authentic street food in the city, with favourites like barbecued fish in banana leaf topping the must-try list. While other familiar dishes like satay, nasi goring and mee goring can all be found here, this unique marketplace offers adventurous travellers the opportunity to try less-common delicacies, including stir-fried beef lungs and sweet Malaysian-style pancakes.
