Kianggeh Market, Riverside marketplace in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei.
Description
Kianggeh Market is a riverside marketplace in Bandar Seri Begawan with wooden stalls where vendors display fresh produce, seafood, and traditional herbs. The location sits near the Kianggeh River and serves as a central trading hub offering a wide selection of locally sourced goods.
History
The market emerged during Brunei's early development and established itself as a key trading point connecting river merchants with local residents. Its role as a central commercial hub has remained constant over the decades and continues to shape the city's trading patterns today.
Culture
The market serves as a gathering place where vendors prepare and sell traditional Bruneian dishes like nasi lemak and soto for locals and visitors. You can watch how the community selects fresh ingredients and goes about its daily food shopping here.
Practical
The site is lively during daytime hours and easy to navigate, with open passages between stalls for comfortable browsing. It makes sense to visit in the morning when selection is largest and the crowd is lighter.
