The Sunday market in Kuching is one of the most lively, vibrant and entertaining markets in Borneo.
The Sunday market which we visited on Saturday afternoon, is a weekly event. This market is run by surrounding village people who come here to sell their wares. They move into their spaces on Friday evening and stay there for the weekend. This was one of the more raw markets we have discovered. On show were whole, freshly slaughtered beasts, black skinned chickens and live seafood specialities. We also found baby shark.
The fruit and vegetable section was very comprehensive, with the locals taking great pride in their produce display. Here we saw a wide variety of jungle fruits and exotic,edible plants.
Kuching also offers a wide variety of wood carvings, ceramics and textiles. It is the best place in Sarawak to find authentic tribal crafts like bead work, basketry and weaving. A lot of these crafts can be found around the waterfront.
We love the food at the market, but we also love the people who work there!
