Hello everyone 👧.
Last Saturday, I'm not working. However, I still need to wake up early during my holiday. I had made an appointment and needed to send my car for maintenance to my friend's car repair services workshop by 9.00 am. When I reached my friend's workshop, his worker was not on his business premise yet (maybe the worker was late to work).
I phone-called my friend, then he apologized to me on this matter. In addition, he suggested to me to look around the market nearby his workshop while waiting for him to reach his own workshop. I accepted his suggestion, then directly drive to the nearby market to kill the time with my Mum.
Pasar Ikan Pasir Putih Putatan (Fish Market)
Pasar in Malay's language means market or daily market
Tamu in Sabah's term means the weekly market
We saw lots of canopies in the Pasar Pasir Putih Putatan after we reached there. My Mum mentioned to me that Putatan area has Tamu or a weekly market every Saturday in the morning up to 12.00 pm. Previously the Tamu was located nearby Putatan's shopping mall area and now been relocate at the parking lots of Pasar Pasir Putih Putatan.
It's like double the happiness when we saw the Pasar and Tamu stationed in the same place as many things we can look at in the market.
I just illegal parking my car near the entrance of the Pasar. I lazy to drive a merry-go-round for the limited parking area in the market and know that the police will not compound me for my action.
We saw the fish very attractive. We went to the fish market as our first strolling spot.
I always heard from my friends who live in the area of Putatan said the fish at their nearby Pasar offer cheap price and fresh compared to other places. After I physically sighted this fish market, the statement from my friends was correct. As a result, I convinced my Mum to buy some fish and I pay it.
Some sellers were very honest in mentioning which fish was from yesterday or not fresh. The not fresh fish, they still sell it at a cheaper price than the fresh fish.
Maybe the oranges-white cat that I saw in the fish market likes to eat fish.
Tamu Putatan (Weekly Market)
We when out from the fish market and then directly straight to Tamu Putatan as our next strolling spot. Varieties of goods selling in Tamu Putatan such as plants, vegetables, clothing, shoes, fruits, dried seafood, ready-made fast food, and many mores.
Although the smell of dried seafood was not very comforting, when I look at it made me mouth-watering. The majority of the dishes that were cooked with dried seafood were very delicious for me.
Aunty (seller) multitasks in selling her dried seafood and drying her seafood under the sunshine beside her stall at the same time.
Pasar Putatan (Back to the Daily Market)
We went back to Pasar Putatan but on the other side as our last strolling spot.
As below, Putatan's community hall with a beautiful mural just beside the Pasar Putatan.
Basically, the goods that sell inside the Pasar Putatan were almost the same as Tamu we went to just now.
Kopi Tenom Asli, our local famous roasted black coffee powder. Recommended to buy it as a souvenir when you come to Sabah for visit. 😉
I bought Murtabak to eat as snacks with family at home.
Inside the Pasar, got a mini restaurant for dining in. You can ask the lady to cook fried noodles or fried rice if you are interested.
Local Handicraft (Still in the Market)
There is a stall selling our local Sabah's traditional handicrafts and attires. The handsome guy seller encouraged me to take more pictures of his goods. Maybe he wants me to help him to promote his products to my friends. He also shared his number with me just in case some of my friends maybe from local or over the sea (Semenanjung Malaysia) are interested to buy his products.
My Car Finally In The Workshop
We strolled around in the Pasir Putih Putatan's market maybe for 1 hour and 30 minutes 😂. I send my car to my friend's workshop afterward. That time, my friend and his employee were there.
Quite lots of customers my friend need to entertain. Instead of waiting for my car to have its maintenance work done. I asked my Dad to fetch us home. I also asked my friend to message me when my car was ready to pick up.
That's all. Thanks for reading my post 🤗.
