Gagawi

Restaurant
Brunei-Muara
Overview

Gagawi is the go-to eatery in town to satisfy a soto craving. Soto is a beef broth spiced with aromatic herbs and served with noodles, meat and fresh vegetables. Complete your soto dish with condiments such as fried shallots, spring onions, coriander leaves, lime and sambal (chili paste) to give it an extra oomph. While soto versions in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore are somewhat different with chicken broth, turmeric or coconut milk, the Bruneian soto is typically beef-based with a broth of beef bone and meat boiled for hours, and sometimes topped with fried hati buyah beef lungs.
