Tamparuli Market by Sumantri
Tamparuli - home of the famous ‘Jambatan Tamparuli', a favourite folk song of the Kadazandusun people of Sabah which tells of a hanging bridge and the story a young girl who accidentally loses her shoe while crossing. Located some 42km from Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia Tamparuli holds its weekly tamu (market) every Wednesday in the town centre. Best time to tresure this market is early morning beetwen 7 am to 9 am not hot just nice.
Like most tamu, this is the best place to watch the local folks mingle as they do business. Fresh produce is often on display, as well as a variety of unique delicacies such as fish, poltery,durian,local souvenir, bambangan (a sour mango-like fruit preserved in jars and often served to complement main meals), fish cake,salt fish, taufu, rice wine, known as tapai or lihing. You can find just about anything here, from clothing to livestock - so it's sure to be a shopping experience like no other!
