The Kota Kinabalu Central Market by the seafront. You can get everything; from vegetables, local fruits, local cakes, fresh chicken, fish & other seafood, beef, to pork on the ground floor.
There are eateries on the first floor (probably best left to the locals who are used to the local bacteria!). I used to eat there many years ago (lunch was RM2.00 - the cheapest in town!).
This is the right-hand end of the market. You can see the overhead pedestrian bridge (famous to us old-timers in KK - it was the first overhead pedestrian bridge).
It connected the market to all the shops in Segama Commercial area. In the old days, there were quite a few stalls operating in the evenings (locally called "under the bridge"). Even now there are vendors selling durians (when in season) from their pickups "under the bridge".
The right hand end of the market has the section selling pork.
There were lots of colourful boats "parked" at this end of the market. I say "parked" as there was actually a carpark just in front of the boats!
I noticed that there was a party of locals who had chartered one of the boats for a fishing trip out in the sea (overnight most likely, there are a lot of good fishing spots around the various islands off KK).
The fish market is in another building around the back of the Central Market.
Apart from the fish, squid, and prawns, there are live crabs and mussels available. Be aware that all the "big" ones have already been bought by the restaurants, hotels, and also exported.
