The Gadong Night Market Durian Guide

February 7, 2019 7 Comments

Brunei’s Gadong Night Market is one of the most reliable places for a one-hit Borneo durian spree.

Brunei Durian Varieties at Gerai Pengkalan Batu

December 13, 2018 2 Comments

Everybody forgets Brunei Durian, but you shouldn’t. This small nation is prime Durian Country, with some of the best Durio diversity and the best preserved forests you’ll find in Borneo.

Brunei Durian

October 29, 2012 5 Comments

Although it looks like a blip on the map of Borneo, Brunei is not as tiny as you might think. At over 2,000 square miles, it doesn’t even make top 15 of the world’s smallest countries. Nevertheless, Rob and I thought it was one country we could miss. It’s surrounded on three sides by Sarawak, […]
