A prominent feature of Malaysian shopping, these markets are basically streets which have been converted for one day only in a week into a market-place. Commonly found in housing estates and residential areas, they became very popular as they enabled locals to do shopping for their household needs without having to go too far out of their residential areas.



As a space that attracts people of all ages, and all walks of life, the pasar malam is a delightful treasure trove of all manner of goods. From vegetables to fruits, snacks to snails, clothes and household ornaments, toys and CDs, there’s nothing you can’t find here.
