De’ Hayat Cafe, popularly known as Soto Pabo, won the hearts of many Bruneians with their award-winning specialty – the Soto Special Pabo – a hearty meal of beef broth and spices served with noodles and fragrant toppings. Along with the soto, customers’ top picks include their ambuyat set and ‘Pabo Shellout’ seafood set, making the riverside restaurant a haven for all types of local cuisine. With the iconic Kampong Ayer and the Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Hajah Saleha Bridge in the backdrop, it’s the perfect spot for diners to gather and enjoy a heart-warming bowl of soto while witnessing the loveliest of Brunei’s sunsets.
For those without access to a private car, we recommend using Dart (think of it as Brunei’s Uber or Grab) which is the most convenient option for traveling in Brunei. While it provides hassle-free booking and convenience, keep in mind that pricing may vary.
