It was open after 6pm. Unfortunately that was the main selling point. The food was okay and a mix of italian, which is clearly the style of the place, and also local food. All of the waiters are phillipino, because the locals won't work for the meagre wages apparently. All of them very pleasant but very keen to sell you a trip on the river whivch we finally agreed to after our seconf visit. The prices are high compared to Sabah and Sarawak and the food bares no comparison but it wasn't unpleasant.
My daughter had lasagne which was okay and I had a noodle dish which would have been okay if I hadn't just come from Sabah and Sarawak where I could eat the same type of meal on every street corner for a tenth of the price.
There are a number of restaurants in Gadong, many of which are mentioned in the guidebooks. The night I visited each one was deserted. The only place where you could watch locals and sample the local fare was the food court localed in The Mall. There is a huge choice of cuisines from the south east asia region and of the dishes I sampled the food was excellent.
Nasi katok, a simple combination of rice and curried beef or chicken, which can be quite spicy. It's relatively inexpensive when compared to other food that you can buy, for example local food such as chicken rice. However, it is not a healthy option, with insufficient vegetables and too much fat.
Ambuyat, a culinary experience unique to Borneo. It is a starchy and gooey paste made from sago that can be dipped into a savoury sauce.
