[3] The village is located in the central part of Brunei–Muara District, and about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from Bandar Seri Begawan's city centre.

According to Ali Matyassin, acting chairman of the Bandar Seri Begawan Municipal Board, the market's problems, such as rat infestation, slick floors, and inadequate lighting, are being addressed in both the short- and long-term by his department.

He stated in an interview on 31 October 2016 that the department will install rat traps as a temporary solution to lower the rodent population.

[15] On 29 October 2021, the wet market was re-opened after restrictions implied by the Ministry of Health (MoH) in its attempt to combat the COVID-19 pandemic was lifted.

Visitors to the market are required to abide by the MoH's SOPs, which include restricting the number of people accessing the location, submitting to temperature checks, scanning the QR code upon entry and exit, and always donning a face mask.

The night market's main draw is its food, which ranges from regional specialties like kuih malaya, to exotic fruits like durian and jackfruit.

The majority of vendor stalls were covered by tarps before the present building, but the ground and aisles were left open to the weather.

The market stalls are divided into sections for meals, snacks, fruits and vegetables, desserts, drinks, and occasionally one or two for apparel.
