Gaya Street Sunday Market

Reviewed By yapyy - Singapore, Singapore

Go early if you want to avoid the hot sun. This is a must-go place for tourists, because you can get everything tourists want: souvenirs, key-chains, t-shirt, Tenom Coffee, handicrafts, local foods..... my wife's favourite? Sabah pearls!! Sabah does produce pearls. my wife bought tons of pearl bracelets for all her friends, and she got a good bargain. My favourite is the water melon juice sold in whole-fruit. Since this is a tourist place, bargain is a must (for souvenirs). If you want taste of local food, there are plenty of restaurants here, but those famous one are always crowded. This is a very short street, but If you like shopping, this place can consume half your day. Unfortunately this place only open on Sunday.

Filipino Market

Reviewed By AngelaWKF - Singapore, Singapore

The market is next to the waterfront (near Handicraft center). Recommended to watch sunset at the waterfront and proceed for nice fresh seafood. Some stalls sell fresh seafood and also cook them for you. The seafood sold here are really very fresh. The market does not smell fishy at all. There are also poultry, fresh fruits and dry food stalls. The small dried fish (ikan bilis) boneless is available, they are dried & sold at good price but dry scallop grade is not good. The market has stalls that sell durian when it is harvest season.
