BRN: Pasar Malam Gadong

Jalan Pasar Gadong, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei
Daily: 3.00pm - 12 noon

Said to be Brunei's most popular night market, although I've got no idea of any other night markets around, Pasar Malam Gadong offers a huge variety of food and drinks, as well as a small selection of clothes and other stuff.


Pasar Gadong is a wet market by day and a night market from 3.00pm onwards. Yes, the night market starts before dusk.

It's shown signs of ageing...


My BFF and I had fun exploring the market, seeing the various stalls. We didn't try a lot of things though as we'd still like to eat something else afterwards.



Takoyaki (Japanese octopus balls) are always popular in night markets in Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei, it seems.



Ambuyat is the national dish of Brunei: a starchy delicacy made form the interior trunk of sago palms~



Do you like jackfruits? I do! :D

We saw two stalls selling non-food items: one with toys and clothes, and another with movie and music CDs.



Anyway, here are two extra pictures: The Mall, which is located very near the market, and Jame'Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque, which is especially striking as it's always fully lit at night.


It was built in 1994 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah's reign.
I did publish a short entry on my food blog regarding the food and drinks that we had the other day. Do check it out!
