Eat
In Brunei, Tutong District is synonymous with pulut panggang (from the same name in Malay) and it can be obtained in the town. Pulut panggang is a type of Malay or Nyonya cuisine made with glutinous rice, wrapped in pandan leaves and grilled, hence the name which literally means 'grilled glutinous rice'. It may also come with fillings, most commonly of shrimp floss or minced beef. It is even mentioned in a local song, 'Joget Seri Kenangan', which highlights pulut panggang and Seri Kenangan Beach as the two most popular things associated with the district.

Eateries
There are several eateries in Tutong and they consist of, among others, restaurants, bakeries and take-out stalls. The restaurants are generally mamak-style which are notable for serving roti canai (known locally as murtabak) but may also serve Malay, Indonesian and Indian Muslim cuisine; these restaurants are generally inexpensive. There are also a few fast food restaurants, both of local and foreign joints. Meanwhile, like elsewhere in the country, bakeries in Tutong offer Western-style bread, pastries and cakes but nevertheless may have local or regional twist. Similarly, take-out stalls in the town usually sell snacks such as roti john (the Malay version of omelette sandwich), local variant of burgers, kebab served in pita bread, as well as drinks such as cordials and bubble tea.
