Sarawak - Day 2(Satok Market)
Jul 14th, 2008 by Jesslyn
At night, we explore the famous Satok Market at Jalan Satok. We can walk to this place actually but with kids tagging along, it will be quite difficult for them to walk about 15 minutes. So we take a cab for this short distance and the cost is RM8.00 (quite expensive for such short distance ler).
I had heard so much about this market, so this time I must try to experience the crowd. It start from Saturday evening till the next day, Sunday evening. Originally most of the seller are Sarawak’s orang asli but now you can see the mixture of their local people there. It is actually just like our night market aka pasar malam.
The place really crowded and hot too! So we must hold tight the girls while we are walking. Can see lots of things here, some items I never see it before and don’t even know the name, like below pictures:

Lyon starts complaining legs pain after short walking, she wants me carry her. I think it is the heat that she cannot stand and make her feel uncomfortable. Hubby not allow me to carry her and force her to walk by her own. She lau kai a bit and keep stick to me after that. Brought them to nearby KFC rest a while and enjoy some aircond first. But KFC aircond seem not function at all, we still sweat like hell while rest there.
After 1/2 hour, we back to the market again. Now Lyon no more complaints. Phew!
One thing I noticed in this market is the seller nicely arrange their vegetables. You just need to select, pack and pay. Over here, the vegetables are place in whole bunch, you can choose, choose, choose the best one and pack in plastic bag.
