To view or to join My World please visit the homepage by click HERE -Thank You.This week I am going to guide you to Pasar Sarikin that is about 45 minutes drive from the City.
This is border market of Malaysia(Sarawak) and Indonesia (Kalimantan Barat).Open only Saturday and Sunday.
This is one of many traders that caught my eye.He come from Kalimatan Barat,Indonesia and open his stall as early as 07:00am at pasar Sarikin the border market.Now he is demostrate his menchandise to me ..very creative indeed.
Soft toy such as Teddy Bear is cheap here and just look at the photo above the seller are waiting for his customer to load the menchandise into the car .
Another item that really caught my eyes is Sandal made from the horse skin.You can't get this item in Kuching City .
To be a customer at this pasar Sarikin you must have a bargaining skill .
This gemstone seller have many legendary story to tale.He have been selling the gemstone for many years."I sale original menchandise and that is why customer always come back to me and only expert can sale this many type of gemstone"he say.
Varietis of crispy chip such as bananna chip are widely sold .Well, its worth trying better than that sell in hypermarket.
Mood of transport (photo above)this is common scenario here. With just few Ringgit from your pocket they are so happy to transport your things to your car as parking lot is quite a distance from the stalls.This place is worth to visit and you don't have to spend much as the goods here is much,much cheaper than in the city or you can't even found the goods that sold here in the city.

Now, that's my type of place to visit. There's the outdoors, there's shopping, and there's eating, right?
See you next week.
just love your post and views of what's available at the market stalls. those horse skin slippers/sandals look comfy and i would be happy to try the banana chips. i love strolling the market stalls whenever i vacation...it is much better than closed shops.
thanks for sharing this...

Assalamu'alikum
Menarik. Tetapi saya tertarik bila di Pasar Sarikin juga banyak kerepek. Saya baru saja balik dari Malang, Jawa Timur. Disana banyak terdapat kerepek dari buah-buahan. Termanggu kenapa ditempat kita tiada kerepek buah-buahan, seperti kerepek apel, nangka, salak dll
Wah, soft toys! Mereka-mereka yang ada awek dan sangat sweet mesti suka ni ;)
Salam Saudara Mamandou,
Memang mereka creative apa-apa boleh buat duit.Tertarik betul tiap-tiap minggu ada saja barangan yang baru mereka jual.Bayang kan kerepek yang mereka buat dan cara mereka menjual(display)tidak pun terdapat di bandar Kuching..hairan juga.
Akmal,
Ko nie..kalo pasai awek cun bukan main cepat..beli lah lens panjang supaya ko boleh tangkap ya???hahaha.
Thanks for opening a window to your intersting world.
