Local shops
​
Shopping choices in Brunei can be limited. Unlike the UK, where you find most of what you want from your shopping list from one store or have it delivered directly to your front door; in Brunei, you may find yourself having to go to a couple of places to find everything you want.
Most stores are approximately 5-10 minute drive away from the SFA estates. The most popular of local supermarkets is Supa Save located on Jalan Tengah. It offers a wide range of products, including British and Australian brands. Supa Save also has a large variety of gluten-free, non-dairy and organic produce too. There is local and imported fresh produce, including a separate non-halal meat section.

Local markets
​
Local markets (called “tamu”) sell fresh local and imported fruits and vegetables. These markets are a fantastic opportunity to try new local flavours, have an interaction with local people and get cheaper produce to what you can find in the supermarkets. If you are unsure of navigating your way around the markets or want hints and tips on where to buy what, don’t be afraid to ask. Someone in the community would be more than happy to show you around.
The market is held every Thursday evening and Friday morning in front of Soon Lee Mega Mart in Seria. On Friday, the market will be shut between 1200-1400hrs for prayer time. Most stalls will remain closed thereafter.
Situated in Kuala Belait, Pasarneka indoor market opens everyday selling fresh fish, flowers, fruits & vegetables, food and snacks. It is recommended to go to the market early in the morning to get freshly caught local fish, such as red snapper, squid and prawns. There is also a stall that sells imported fresh salmon. The weekend fruit and vegetable market is held outside Parsarneka in the car park. It's open on Saturday and Sunday from early morning until around 1200hrs.
​
