Laundry facilities at the marina and there are also several self-service laundries in town.
There are two supermarkets on the ground floor mall of the “twin towers” building just a 5-minute walk from the marina.
It is possible to shop in Labuan town, or, on the opposite side of the anchorage, on the edge of the water village (Patai Patai). This is across the river from the township. Looking slightly north of west you will see a very small white beach right next to a stockpile of gravel. There is often a lot of barge activity near the gravel yard. Dinghy to the small beach at high tide and you will be at the end of a short street that leads to the main road. (Note – there is no ATM on this side of the river).
Labuan
Tops Supermarket is in Financial Park (behind the marina) and Labuan Supermarket is in town, further away. Several duty-free shops stock products such as pork, ham and cheeses. Stock varies. Find them along the waterfront opposite the ferry terminal.
There is a supermarket within the Parkson Ria department store ("Giant"), and numerous other shops. There is also a Chinese Supermarket (Monegain), near to the banks, which is to be recommended.
There is also a very nice fruit and vegetable market in the area behind Utama Jaya which has local produce at good prices. Be prepared to haggle the prices down to "local" levels!
Labuan is a good place to stock up on any alcohol as it is duty-free and the cheapest place in the whole of Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Langkawi is more expensive.
Patau Patau
Frozen Goods at "GL Bintang Enterprises", halfway up the street on the right-hand side (Shop #3 from the main road corner). They supply Australian & Indian beef, NZ lamb, Anchor cheese, sausages, hamburgers, yoghurt and fruit juice. Contact Mach on Mobile: 0146505168, Email: maclim86@yahoo.com.sg
Next door to this shop is the beer warehouse. (Shop # 2 from the corner). Mainly dealing with Carlsberg (cheaper than in town and easier to transport to your boat).
Across the road from these two shops, on the corner, is a yellow building. This is "Emporium Labuan", a very good supermarket. Not always the cheapest on some items but the variety and ease of access makes it worth it. The staff are very friendly and will often help you load your dinghy. They also have an interesting stock of small hardware items, kitchenware, clothes, toys, stationery etc.
Several hardware stores here also.
