Quarantine Complex is the main entry and exit to Sabah through Tawau, a city in Sabah that is closest to Nunukan in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The three-storey market derives its name from the original name of Tawau, which is "Tanjung". The ground and first floor of the market is where groceries are sold. Shoppers can find vegetables, fruits, eggs, meat, fresh coconut milk and various types of seafood there. Here in this two floors are snacks such as "kerepek", "amplang" crackers, nuts and nut-based foods, as well as a variety of traditional "kuih" (cakes) by Tawau residents and those brought in from neighboring countries. On the top floor the public can find apparel, such as T-shirts, sleepwear and "kain pelikat", as well as prayer garments such as prayer mats, "songkok" and "telekung". Also on the same floor are food stalls.

Many regard the market as a destination "not-to-be-missed" when visiting Tawau. Malaysian visitors often buy souvenirs in the Tanjung Market. Visitors are attracted by the competitive prices here. Some of the traditional foods sold in the Tanjung Market are cashew nuts, brown sugar and "kuih cincin", IKAN KEROPOK (DRIED FISH) One of the main reasons for visiting the Tanjung Market is to buy "ikan keropok" (dried fish). Besides ikan keropok are also salted fish and amplang crackers. The ball-shaped crackers made from fish or prawns called amplang crackers. This product is synonymous with Sabah and originates in Tawau. UNIQUE FOODS Tanjung Market has rich varieties of goods including import from Indonesia and Philippines. "Foods like "belinjo" and cashew nuts come from neighboring countries. However, amplang crackers, "atong" nuts, "tapok" nuts and "kacipok", a rice flour-based cracker, are made by the Tawau locals.
