Satok Sunday Market, Kuching

Satok Market (3 October 2004)


Satok Sunday Market (now defunct) was perhaps the most popular market in Kuching for tourists. It is called Satok Market because it is located on Jalan Satok. However, since 1 January, 2013, the market has since relocated to a more permanent location at Medan Niaga Satok.

The market starts on Saturday afternoon. That's when the villagers begin arriving with their produce and livestock. They overnight at their stalls and continue business on Sunday until 5:00 am.

As you wander around Satok Market, you get a feel of what the people of Kuching buy. Fresh herbs and vegetables are decked out. Bundles of fern or pucuk paku share a table with banana flower. At the meat section, there's a gory selection from beef to wild boar.

Getting there

Walk south along Jalan Tun Haji Openg and then turn right at Jalan Satok. The market is on the left side, about 500 meters down the road.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
