A Day in Gaya Street

One of the main attraction in Sabah was the fame Pasar Tamu, where locals sells their harvest/products on a specific site. There are wide variety of items selling there.. ranging from local foods, biscuits, vegetables, fruits, flowers, pets, clothing, souvenirs, and many more!! It's a must visit place for tourist!

In Kota Kinabalu town, it is held at Gaya Street, every sunday morning to afternoon.. when i was in KK, i visit the tamu almost every sunday. There's almost something new, something interesting to see or buy there :P

See? Various tubers up for sale, sweet potato, tapioca, yam, and many more!

This is a famous cup cake i presume, they call it UFO

Look at the chicks and ducklings for sale!

They even sell puppies here..

Nice flower isnt it?

Oh.. this was a giant pineapple, made up of many tiny pineapples

My favourite Lokan

Look how they sell fishes here! Oh my..

and there's massage service by the blinds

Even ant nest are up for sale, as a traditional medicine!

Fancy local artist? here's a great artist's work.. you can even watch him/her draw on the spot!

And this is a ugly thing, a bag made up of real bullfrog skin!! ewwwwww....

So there you go.. tempted to go now? hehe.. do visit the tamu on Gaya Street every Sunday morning! I bet you'll find something interesting there!

There are many small stores on the road side! The famous dishes here were the Lokan Panggang and Kelapa Pudding (coconut pudding)

And how can you miss this, glorious seafoods! CHEAP one too! Seafood is a must if you visit KK, it's cheap and it;s good. We had this wonderful dinner at Welcome Seafood, somewhere in Beverly, Penampang.

So many dishes, only RM150! We have Tilapias, Big prawns, Mantis Shrimps, Another type of shellfish (famous in Sabah), vegetables, soups and it's all RM150! How cheap?

Last but not least, another famous dish, Fish Head Mee Hoon (vermicelli). This fish is Giant grouper's head! Not that giant, but big enough for me! This shop is at Hilltop, Luyang.

Not so much on this short trip, i'll make sure to post more nice foods next round! Hehee.. so stay tuned and start drooling!
