New Tea Kopitiam is hard to miss amongst the eateries along the colourful buildings in Bangar Town in Temburong. Their specialty is kolo mee udang galah – noodles with a pair of fried giant udang galah prawns and sprinklings of spring onions. To quench your thirst, order Teh C Special – a three-layered drink of palm sugar syrup, evaporated milk and black tea. One must not leave Temburong without trying their local special, cendol Temburong, which is unique and different from the usual versions that are sweetened with palm sugar. Cendol Temburong’s secret ingredient is gula anau, derived from the sugary sap of sago trees.
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.
