Limbang Reels In Local Shoppers With Cheap, Fresh Produce
By Achong Tanjong

Bandar Seri Begawan - Local shoppers continue to head down to Limbang to purchase fresh produce and dried goods from the ever popular `open tamu'.

The open tamu has since been relocated to another corner of Limbang town, which is just a stone's throw away from Chung Hwa School.

The new location is set in a more comfortable environment and offers better parking areas. A wide range of dried food and fresh jungle produce are the most sought after items among Bruneians.

The place is especially populated on Thursday and Friday nights as more vendors set up their stalls to offer an array of goods.

Most of the dried food and vegetables are brought in from neighbouring districts such as Lawas and Sabah. The open tamu also offers a taste of local rice, among them Bario Rice.

All the items sold at the tamu are cheaper than those found in the Brunei markets, said Haji Ibrahim, a frequent Limbang visitor.

One of the main reasons why most Bruneians and foreigners travel to Limbang to shop for their groceries is because of Brunei's strong currency against the Malaysian ringgit.

It appears that fast food outlets in Limbang are also highly popular among locals.

Every Friday and during public holidays it is common to see Brunei registered vehicles dominating the parking lots of Limbang town. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
