Tamu Market of Kota Belud, Sabah, Malaysia
4.0 (18 reviews) Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #3 in Kota Belud District Flea & Street Markets • Farmers Markets
An eye opener to the local products
The market was bustling with vendors and buyers. Fresh fruits and vegetables are at very affordable price. You can find many new fruits found only in Sabah, and they are really, really delicious. The vendors will attentively answer my "ridiculous" questions such as "what is this?", how do you cook it? How do you eat it? Etc etc. The best part of it is i managed to find and buy the tarap fruit. To those who have the opportunity to go to any pasar tamu, do look for the "tarap fruit". If you are lucky, you can find them even if it is out of seadon

A market to cater for locals
This market sold a lot pf vegetables and dried fish and local produce and used clothes. Cheap. Not many local crafts or knick knacks. Parking was a little haphazard.

Surprised tamu market opened late!
Kota Belud was an unplanned overnight stop. We woke up bright and early. We decided to take in the sights and look for a place to have breakfast. We walked to the Tamu Market but the fruit stalls were still not opened. Lucky got us the roti restaurant was already buzzing with people. The roti canai was good. The coffee so-so. The market was still not 100% by the time we finished our breakfast

School Trip
We went there for our school trip and it was a great experience for non-locals.
They sold plenty of different foods, unique crafts and also learning by-hand experiences.
But the cleanliness is not very well maintained as they did not prepare enough dustbins. Also the sellers don't really mind about the hygiene so I don't really prefer to eat a lot there.
The safety is good because many police officers and traffic controllers are there.
Overall, it was a good school trip.

Nothing special
It was rainy day, the time i reached here almost 11am, some of the stalls were closed. The 'tamu' sell local fruits, handicraft, food and snack, seafood etc. Must try the huge tapioca cracker, penjaram and ring biscuit. It is sunday market, make sure come here on SUNDAY.
