This vibrant
Sunday market along Jalan Satok, comes alive Saturday
afternoon when local traders from the outskirts of
Kuching peddle their wares. Catch a glimpse of the fat
squirming grubs, suet, or unique wild ferns "midin" and
other jungle produce sold in makeshift stalls by the
roadside, or simply on empty rice sacks lain on the
ground.
The place
truly comes alive with a riot of colours, smells and
dialects as the locals converge to buy their weekly
produce. Traders sell handicrafts, clothes, fresh
produce, food and drinks and much more. This is also an
excellent excuse for picture taking opportunities.
Take an
outing to the market, and be prepared to face a bevy of
smiles, fierce haggling and friendly faces in the true
Sarawakian warmth and charm. |

Key Tips
|
 |
|
|
| Once
you've worked up an appetite strolling through the
market, head for one of the local chinese coffee
shops for breakfast. The perfect way to start the
day, if you ask the regulars, is with a cup of
strong Sarawakian coffee and a pau, or bun, stuffed
with savoury meat. |
