Local delicacies for snacking
Gadong Night Market is my preferred market in Bandar Seri Begawan. It has the most selection of dishes, fruits and snacks compared to the night market across from our hotel. And it’s clean, spacious and there are tables for those who wish to dine onsite. There’s also plenty of parking nearby.
We stopped at this stall to pick up grilled fish for dinner. They also sell rice so we had a complete, delicious dinner. A whole fish (depending on the type of fish and size) costs us $5.00 Brunei dollars (BND) or USD$3.68 (exchange rate as of this writing).
These are local dishes with vegetarian selections. Notice the signs that say mee goreng, mee kwai teow or mee hoon goreng. These are noodle dishes. The difference is in the type of noodle that’s used. Notice these dishes cost BND$1.00.
In the photo above are dried fish, dried tiny shrimps and dried anchovies.
Local fruits include jackfruit, ihau, rambutan (red skin) and mango.
But if you are missing hot dogs, you can get them here on a stick for just BND$1.00 BND as well as other barbecue favorites. Bon appetit!
