Jalan Satok Weekend Market, located off Jalan Satok (between Excel petrol station and Wisma Satok), is like a typical local market on the street - crowded, busy and noisy. It's interesting to wander around and see what are on sale. The different stalls offer a wide variety of products; from deep jungle produce, fruits, ready-cooked food, ikan terubok, Sarawakian souvenirs... More

If one is interested in something authentically Kuching's produces, this is the ideal place. The sought-after salted terubok(local fish), layered cakes, fresh vegetables(wild & home-grown, fish, meat and many others are found here. It was called Sunday Market but it actually starts on Saturday afternoon. More

This market is often listed as a tourist attraction in Kuching, but unless you're a keen photographer it probably won't hold much appeal.
