Tuaran Market by Sumantri
We often visit Tuaran Market, every Sunday morning, Tuaran holds a big natives' open market known as Tamu by the Sabahans. Located about 34 km or 40 minutes drive from Kota Kinabalui n the northwest of Sabah, East Malaysia
Harvests of produce from nearby villages and valleys are brought to the market, such as fruits, vegetables, handicrafts, fish, homemade traditional cakes, traditional homegrown tobacco, jamu, pets and so on and of course food, best one is famous Tuaran Mee and Soto. The tamu supplies many great photo opportunities for tourists. The variety of goods to be seen is very impressive for the visitor. The name Tuaran is believed to have come from the Malay word tawaran which means 'bargaining' or 'sale'. This presumably reflects on the town's earlier role as a market where natives from the hillside villages brought their produce for trading with the coastal Chinese and other indigenous peoples
