Dewan Sumbangsih Mulia

Bandar Seri Begawan


A wallet-friendly spot for those looking to buy genuine local crafts, this place combines a craft market with some cheapo food stalls. Head upstairs for finely woven cloth or browse the ground-level stalls for bamboo fish traps and intricately woven containers made by the Murut, Iban and Kedayan people.
