#New York Flight Ticket Event I went to the night market in Kota Kinabalu. I visited early in the morning, so they were still preparing for business, so I couldn't see the various foods, but I was able to buy some fruits. They even prepared mangoes and mangosteens for a low price, so I could conveniently bring them back to my accommodation and eat them.

❤️Kota Kinabalu Filipino Market❤️ Market / Mon~Sun 8am~10pm (fruit available) Night Market / Mon~Sun 17:30~23:00 I loved the Filipino Market so much that I went there two days in a row. I especially fell in love with the talented Mango Boy who speaks Korean well~~~! It's already hot on various SNS ㅎㅎ 📍Filipino Market is the most accessible❣️ It's a night market and market located in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, so it's very accessible, and it's right in front of KK Waterfront, and it's a short walk from Hyatt Regency Kinabalu, Le Meridien, and Marriott~~ ♡ You can buy fruit during the day, but if you go after 5:30pm, there are more things to see and eat. Once you enter, they will tell you to taste mangoes here and there ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The heaven of mango tasting begins♥☺️☺️☺️ ______________________________________ 🥭I paid 15 ringgit for 1 kg of mangoes!! You can taste a lot of different types of fruits. There are a lot of different types of mangoes, so you can choose! There are also a lot of tropical fruits, so you can taste those too~ I really recommend mangosteen!!! And I also recommend green mangoes!!! (If you like sour things, I highly recommend it) A place I absolutely, absolutely recommend to visit in Kota Kinabalu is the Filipino Market. You can see and taste various fruits, and the Filipino Market is full of Southeast Asian vibes, which is really great ❣️ After finishing a day tour in Kota Kinabalu, I highly recommend stopping by the Filipino Market as your last stop for the day. 😍 #Southeast Asia travel #Kota Kinabalu #Filipino market #Kota Kinabalu travel #Kota Kinabalu night market #Kota Kinabalu free travel #Malaysia #Malaysia travel
