Tamu Muhibbah

An indigenous market in central Miri selling Sarawak specialties such as rainforest vegetables, wild boar meat, spices, and handmade bamboo crafts.

'Tamu' means market in Malay. Tamu Muhibbah is Miri's most distinctive local market, where indigenous people from rural areas, including Iban and Kelabit, set up stalls to sell bamboo shoots, wild ferns, tropical fruit, Bario rice, pepper, and handwoven crafts. Some stalls also sell rice cooked in bamboo tubes and grilled fish. The market is busiest from 6:00 to 10:00 in the morning and is a good place to experience rural Sarawak life. It is close to the central bus station, so it is easy to reach.
