If you love your beer, pubs and massage parlours, Brunei is not the place for you. But if you like to avoid crowds and take a step back from the hustle and bustle of your hectic life, then Brunei is for you. I like to tell my foreign friends that it's a place to do nothing, although there's a lot if you research well. Sure, some might find it boring, but many have found it a blissful experience. I'm not even gonna talk about shopping or nightlife, your money is safe from that, but I can't guarantee that you'll not be tempted to spend it on food because it's really cheap! Here's my list of must-go eateries/cafes/restaurants in Brunei; 1. Jing Chew (Chinese Kopitiam - buns/pastries) 2. Thien Thien or D'Harith (Chicken/Duck Rice - Chinese) 3. Aminah Ariff or Liyana Restaurant or Nasi Talam (Brunei - Ambuyat) 4. Kaizen or Excapade (Japanese) 5. Pondok Sari Wangi (Indonesian - Seafood) 6. Salted or Batches or Roasted Sip (Cafe - Coffee) 7. Gadong Night Market (as seen in the video) 8. Ice Bar Shabu Shabu 9. 1 More Pizza or Napori Pizza 10. Veggie Recipe or Aura by TienSing (Vegetarian)

As for the thick slices of sashimi (and generally big sushi sizes), Bruneians tend to prefer that way because we like our food to be big lmao. Locals will complain if it is small because we want to be full.

I have always wanted to go to Brunei! As a child, my father used to talk about him living there for a short while as a young man. ( He was a good mechanic and i thought he may have worked and fixed the Sultan's Amercian made cars, could be wrong) Have wanted to walk the streets he walked on when he was alive. This is amazing!!! Thank you! I can now see what it is like through your video! I read somewhere you can meet the Sultan and his family once a year in the past and they provided food. Not sure if it is true.
