VISITING A "PASAR TANI" IN LABUAN

4th JUNE 2022 ~ I already saw the morning market while was being driven around town as I arrived in Labuan. The market was actually located behind the museum, at Labuan Walk, to be exact. I asked my friend if it would be possible just to go there for a short while to see the Farmer's Market of Labuan.

Basically the items on sale were shirts, food and drinks, agricultural products like local fruits. Most of the stalls were actually mini nurseries selling various types of plants ands other items related to gardening.

The best thing about this Farmer's Market was that it was sheltered under the canopy of big trees so it was still a pleasant stroll in the morning. I successfully did not buy any plants to bring back home even though the temptation was strong to get something from here.

"PASAR TANI" LARKIN AT ITS NEW VENUE

11th JUNE 2016 ~ This is the new venue for the famous "Pasar Tani" (farmers' market) that was previously stationed at Stadium Tan Sri Hassan Yunos. It has moved to a new location at Jalan Padu, in Larkin area too, but further away from the stadium. I personally like the previous place better as there were more parking spaces.

This was my third time there. I needed to find food for my "sahur" session (early morning meal before the start of fasting). I got my "burasak" but the "lepat lui" had sold out while the lady selling the "lemang" was nowhere to be seen. [all mentioned are traditional Malay food items which are rice-based]

The stalls selling clothes are now located in an area opposite the morning market, across the road. 

I was there quite late, after 10.00 a.m. and it was easier to find a parking space and not too many people were around anymore. I will have to come back in about a fortnight to get my supply for "Kek Lapis" (layer cake) for Eid.

MY FAVOURITE PASAR TANI (FARMER'S MARKET) IN TOWN

This is my favourite "Pasar Tani" (Farmer's Market) and actually this is the only "Pasar Tani" that I visit. It iis situated at the parking lot of Tan Sri Hassan Yunos Stadium only on Saturday morning. I seldom have the chance to go here as there are many school activities that are carried out on Saturday.

This is a dangerous place to visit as you would have the urge to buy and try almost everything on sale - especially the local delicacies and fresh fruits. You can get more than what you can imagine here. Let's have a look and let the pictures do the talking.
