Located in a street in Seri Kembangan, the market is popular with the people of Sabah and Sarawak who are living in the peninsula.

The market, established by the Pasar Budaya Borneo Association, caters to the cravings of East Malaysians and shines a light on lesser-known cultures.

Nur Shafiqah, who declined to give her full name, works at Sunway Medical Centre and the minute she stepped foot into the Pasar Borneo area, the alluring scent of smoked meat and the captivating aroma of exotic fruits transported her back home. “In the past, food from Sabah and Sarawak was hard to find in the peninsula. So we thought, what if we set up a market here? From there, our first objective was to fulfil that demand.

“We also want to encourage children, who are Sabahans or Sarawakians but were born here, to get to know their culture.
