Went to the night market a bit early while the hawkers still setting up their tent. A lot of food to sample and plenty of local cuisines such as kongpia, dumplings, buns n etc. Some stalls selling all kind of clothing, household items & etc etc .....Should you loves to try local night market, this is the best place in Sibu.
