When hunger strikes…..

    The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. That goes the same for a tourist's heart. Some eccentric people have been known to travel half-way around the globe in order to taste the delicacy of some far away places.


    In Brunei, you can ease your taste-buds easily as the options for eating out here range from informal and casual eateries to more established restaurants and haute cuisine.

    Hawker-Style Food
    Hawker centres offer fine local delicacies at very reasonable prices. Favourite dishes include satay, noodles, rice, whole roasted chickens, grilled fish and steamboats. Hawker food can be found along the Brunei River in downtown Bandar Seri Begawan, and in a purpose-built complex next to Jerudong Park. The Persiaran Damuan park on Jalan Tutong is well known for its popular steamboat dinners and satay. In Gadong, there is an indoor hawker centre on the ground floor of Yaohan Megamart- which offers a variety of food ranging from quiche to sushi!

    Restaurant Dining-Asian
    Gadong has a good mix of restaurants offering Asian cuisine. This includes Chinese, Lebanese, Indonesian, Indian, Thai and Japanese food, as well as speciality outlets for seafood and Nonya. Many are family-run enterprises with a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. Downtown Bandar also has many kedai makan [local eateries], and good seafood restaurants can be found along Jalan Muara and in Muara town. Tutong, Seria and Kuala Belait have a good and varied selection of restaurants. Chinese cuisine is especially popular in Brunei, and there are many fine authentic restaurants. In Gadong the Emperor’s Court and the Szechuan Dynasty are renown, as are the Jade Garden in the Riverview Hotel and the Phong Mun in downtown Bandar.

    Western Dining - Western
    The major hotels all have cafes which serve a mixture of Asian and western meals, and sumptuous value-for-money buffets. Deals Restaurant in the Sheraton Utama specialises in very high quality nouvelle cuisine. The Buccaneers in Kuala Belait serves excellent British fare in a tudor-style setting.

    Fast Food
    Fast food has really caught on in Brunei. Pizza Hut, KFC and MacDonalds all have outlets in the city and at Jerudong Park. Jollibee, Sugar Bun and Express are local equivalents.
