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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
