Night Market
We picked you up again after our excellent Bario lunch at Mummy’s and Mama’s Home Cooking, as we spent the afternoon indoors hiding from the blistering heat.
At 4:30pm, we got into the rental car and punched Siniawan into the Waze app. A small town in the Bau district, about 20km away, this usually quiet settlement comes alive on weekends when the Siniawan Night Market takes over the main street.
Offering a wide variety of local delicacies and street snacks, the main attraction of this night market is the abundance of Chinese lanterns that transform the street into a movie-like setting.
Strolling Through Siniawan
We spent an enjoyable evening strolling along the night market before sitting down for some titbits, which included:
- 9 Taiwanese Sausages — RM3.00 each
- Assorted Fruit Juices — RM19.00
- Dumplings — RM10.00
- 2 Cheese Sausages — RM3.00 each
- Pork Burger — RM15.00
- 4 Hakka Fruit Tofu with Meat — RM2.50 each
- Five Spices Meat Roll — RM10.00
Our meal came to a rather steep RM62.50 (≈ USD16/EUR13). Dining in a movie-like setting comes at a premium we guess.
As the sun began to set, I took another walk along the street to capture the bright lights and lanterns glowing against the twilight sky.
Heading Back to Kuching
We hopped back into the rental car and began the drive home, stopping by a Shell petrol station to fill up. Before returning to Adelyn’s homestay, we made a quick detour to Kenyalang Food Centre to pick up a hot drink for the night.
What’s Next
Stay tuned for our next video, where we take an even more leisurely drive to a weekend morning market in the border town of Serikin.
