Tutong's Hidden Gems

HISTORY

Tutong’s history is defined by its role as a central transit hub between Brunei-Muara and Belait. Historically inhabited by the Tutong and Kedayan ethnic groups, it transitioned from a traditional agricultural society into a modern administrative district while maintaining its unique linguistic identity and local leadership structures.























CULTURE

The culture is a vibrant mosaic of ethnic traditions, famous for the Pesta Santap (food festivals) and local delicacies like Panyaram. It is home to the unique Tutong language and the legendary Tasik Merimbun, which anchors local folklore and serves as a centerpiece for community heritage and conservation.
