Market place at Kota Kinabalu

The other place worth spending a lazy afternoon in KK is the marketplace.

Situated beside the Filipino market, this hub of activity was an accidental find.
About the size of 2 - 3 football fields, this marketplace by the sea sells everything from fresh vegetables, corals, seashells, meat and seafood.


Colourful tentages demarcate one stall from the next.

The vegetables here are so fresh and abundant that I felt like whipping up a meal :)

Fresh market produce - loads of them

While roaming the market, saw a bunch of kids playing. The moment they saw me with a camera, they started running towards me, clamouring to be shot.
Then they started posing for the camera... haha...
Unfortunately, most of the shots are blurred cos they were jumping around so much. This is the best one I took of them


Kids clamouring for their photos to be taken :)

Enjoyed roaming this marketplac immensely. I liked the rustic feel to it. The vendors are friendly and extremely helpful once they learnt we're not local. One of them even convinced us to buy some watermelon and papayas from her. And they were so sweet...
