๐Ÿข Tamu Selera Brunei: Street Food, Satay & Local Vibes at Appetite Park ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ณ

Unplanned detours often make the best travel memories.

While walking to the Catholic Church in Bandar Seri Begawan, we stumbled upon Tamu Selera — an old-school food court nestled under colorful parasols, buzzing with local life. After mass, we decided to drop by for dinner... and I’m so glad we did.


๐Ÿฎ What is Tamu Selera?

Tamu Selera, which literally means "Appetite Park", is a hawker-style food center tucked away in a leafy park.

Think:
๐Ÿช‘ Open-air seating
๐ŸŒฌ️ Ceiling fans spinning lazily
๐ŸŒˆ Tarps and parasols in bright colors
๐Ÿ› A row of food stalls serving Malaysian, Indonesian, and local Bruneian dishes

It’s a true cultural gem — loud, lively, and filled with smells that pull you in from every direction.


๐Ÿฝ️ Our Experience: Food Roulette

Since we didn’t know the names of the dishes, we did the next best thing:
๐Ÿ‘€ Look at what others were eating and point to what looked good.

Spoiler alert: some dishes looked better than they tasted ๐Ÿ˜…
But that's all part of the charm, right?

My advice:
✔️ Stick to safe bets like satay, fried chicken, or noodles
✔️ Or better yet — bring a local friend or guide!

๐Ÿ›‘ Communication is tricky since many stall owners speak limited English. But smiles and hand gestures go a long way!
