Kuching 2011 - Ramadan Bazaar at Satok Part II

The Satok Ramadan Bazaar is at Lorong 12 Rubber Road, which runs between Rubber Road and Satok Road. To get there you need a bit of patience. Traffic will be heavy, and it is a challenge finding a good parking spot. You may need to park quite far away and walk to the Bazaar.

The Bazaar occupies the backlot of a block of shophouses. This is normally the car park, but being sandwiched between shophouses makes it ideal for a Bazaar as it is quite well-shaded from the hot sun. The authorities have put up big tents to shelter the stalls, but due to the lack of ventilation it can sometimes become unbearable as the smoke from barbeque stalls get trapped inside.


After a long day of fasting, the most immediate need is to quench your thirst and replenish your energy. These sweet iced desserts will do both.


Lots of cooked food are ready for a fast takeaway.


Eventhough conditions at the Bazaar are not exactly ideal - it is usually hot and smokey, it is good to see that the vendors are in good spirit.


It is not difficult to put together a nice meal with selections from a few stalls.


Always great to catch a little drama unfolding behind the scene.

Hi Kimberly. Are you originally from Kuching ? I see you are in Melbourne now - food haven ! Spent my uni days in Melbourne and loved it !
Looks like you went early - there's still lots of food piled up on the trays and containers.

I remember it being unbearably hot under those tents, two years ago. You'd figure they would have come up with a solution for that by now.
