Sibu Central Market is located at Channel Road which is the central region of Sibu. It is actually within the walking distance from our stay at Kingwood Hotel.

Sibu Central Market is the largest market in Sarawak and Malaysia. There are more than 100 hawkers registered to trade in Sibu Central Market. This double storey market sells various kinds of dried food and Sarawak traditional food.
The stalls are nicely setting up and organised, easier for the locals and tourists to walk around and visit the market.

The first floor of Sibu Central Market is a place for various Chinese and Malay food. Besides that, there are stalls selling clothes and daily needs.
Big Red Chillies selling at RM2.00 per plate.
Old Ginger selling at RM5.00 and RM2.00 each.
My favourite “Mani Chai” selling only at RM1.00 per bunch!
The biggest bamboo I have ever seen selling at RM2.00 per piece. Normally use it for Lemang or cooking in the bamboo.
Among the specialities and uniqueness that can be seen are chickens and ducks sold in Sibu Central Market is wrapped with newspaper.
Besides that, Sibu Central Market is a favourite spot for hawkers who sell seasonal fruits. Dabai fruit and Engkala which only can be found in Sarawak is among the famous fruit sold in Sibu Central Market.
Buah Salak
Limau Madu that only can found in Sibu, Sarawak.
It is quite an interesting market to walkabout. We did not manage to walk the entire ground floor, as we only have half day and still there are places need to sight-seeing.
It really organised in a neat and clean way, as compared to our Peninsular Malaysia Pasar Borong. We get to know a lot of fruits and vegetables which we do not see at all at Kuala Lumpur.
It is worth for a visit and a must if you in Sibu, Sarawak.
