Behold a glimpse of the Sarawak Museum Campus, illuminated and poised to be a state-of-the-art structure and the second largest museum in SEA. A renovation worth RM308 million, the museum spans around 31,000sq metres with five storeys housing exhibition galleries, top-notch facilities, dedicated spaces and treasured artefacts. •

How excited are we for the official opening in September 2020 to admire Sarawak’s rich cultural heritage and history in such an iconic setting? 😍 •

We’re in the thick of December which means we’ve been finding ourselves at the airport more often than usual these days! Thank god the airport is replete with dining options so today we had the lipsmackingly good “Nasi Minyak Daging Bakar” set for two from @anjungsaujanarestaurant. A flavourful, thick beef broth as a side and a generous mouthful of tender meat in each bite made for a sumptuous meal in the midst of the Brunei International Airport. Up for a limited time only for $19.90, @anjungsaujanarestaurant's take on Northern Penang’s Grilled Beef is definitely worth a try🍴

We were up bright and early on a sunshiny Sunday for the official launching of the Brunei December Festival by His Majesty at Taman SOAS. The month-long festival features 68 happening events held all over Brunei including @thetinylitfest, @bruneibirdraceseries and the @berakasforestfest to cater to interests of all kinds. Check out our highlights to see more of what went down during the launch! #BDF2019 #DiscoverBrunei

We were privileged to attend the official opening of the "School of Paris between Montmartre and Monparnasse & the Current European Artists” art exhibition at @radissonbrunei. 20 precious artworks featuring stunning original pieces by the likes of Modigliani, Jeanne Hebuterne and Giorgio Morandi aim to paint Brunei as an art and culture destination. The first-of-its-kind exhibition is open to public from December 4-10, only at Radisson Brunei as part of the #BruneiDecemberFestival. Be sure to check it out!

We were so thrilled to finally get our hands on Brunei's first ever premium melons! 😍🍈 Some facts you should know about these artisanally-grown fruits:
.
✔️ Part of the "Japanese Arus" breed
✔️ Grown with a strict One Tree One Fruit policy to ensure consistent quality throughout
✔️ Farmed, harvested and packed in the heart of Brunei but proudly exported internationally

Melts can be found at all Supasave outlets throughout Brunei at $17.50 per kilo. We have to say it's well worth a melon bucks! 💚
