Filipino Market, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Filipino Market, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah are mostly run by Filipino immigrants. A variety of Filipino and local handicrafts are sold in the hundreds of cramped stalls, along winding alleyways which are strung by low-slung curtains of shells, baskets and bags. You can find a diverse range of products available at the Filipino Market - from traditional foods to medicine and toiletries. Even if you're not looking for anything in particular, a trip to the market can offer a great cultural experience and an enjoyable excursion when visiting this area. The Filipino Market is a good place to buy cultured pearls and has everything from fake gemstones to camagong-wood salad bowls, fibre shirts and traditional Indonesian medicines. Just outside the stalls all along the kerb of the road there are makeshift sheds where Filipino tailors station themselves and their sewing machines. They provide very cheap stitching services to those who need their jeans altered or patched, bags or clothing mended.
