I could only find one reasonable restaurant within walking distance of the Traders Inn (very good) in the nearby supermarket (not what you might expect - excellent food).

Brunei must be the most boring country I've visited. No info or transport at the airport or hotel. Only the second day I found the Tourist Office where friendly staff gave me maps and info on how to get around.

It was rather disappointed for my group as the Jerudong Park which we'd like to visit was closed. The Chinese food was great and all the same taste in all restaurants. There are not many sightseeing places in the city (BSB).

Shops surrounded the hotel and if you want to do more shopping, the nearest place is a 3min drive to Centre Point Shopping Complex. Taxis is a rare sight in Brunei. Most shops close early in Brunei but Centre Point Shopping Complex operates longer hours than the rest. It's very safe to get around in Brunei even at night.

The hotel was quite difficult to find being a first time visitor to Brunei. But the location is ideal as there are shops nearby and a supermarket just opposite.

Hire a car in Brunei. Very easy to drive around. Fuel is very cheap.

Brunei will give any traveller a taste of SE Asia. Unfortunately, my husband and I were there during the fasting month of Ramandan, which made local dining experiences slim during the day. It is a very quiet (ie as oppose to bustling) city compared to any other Asian city, on the other hand, it is also cleaner than most SE Asian city. We used the local taxi system for travels around town. The cost is alot higher compared to for an example, the rates in Singapore, at BRD$20 for a 15mins trip from the city to the airport. However, the drivers were helpful and spoke some english. Brunei is an interesting place to visit but it lacks the hustle and bustle of other Asian destinations.
I would only recommend a short stay in the city but explore the jungle and other eco-tourism iniatives, otherwise it might not be worth the visa formalities.
