Yes people, it is that time of year again where people would enjoy a vast variety of food due to the Ramadhan fasting month. And in Tawau, there are 3 main bazaars for any self respected food lover to try out.

MPT Bazaar

~ located right in front of Majlis Perbandaran Tawau (MPT) main building & behind the Sabindo Plaza building

~ largest in terms of size & number of stalls

~ lots of well known Malay restaurants open their stalls here

~ more accessible than the other two bazaar (as in it’s in the middle of town)

~ probably has the most variety in terms of food and drinks

~ very crowded during peak hours due to the location

 Fujimart Bazaar

~ located beside the Fujimart building (at their parking lot)

~ second largest in terms of size & number of stalls

~ firm favourite of the non-Malay patrons in Tawau

MARA Bazaar

~ located right outside of the MARA building (beside the main bus terminal)
