PASAR MALAM! YUMYUMYUM!
or known as 'night market' in English is the best place to get foooooooood! Pasar Malam can be found on the streets of Malaysia, in every state.. I think.
There is a night market about 5 minutes away from my house that operates every week on Wednesday evenings selling food and vegetables. I've been going there ever since I was a kid. I would always go to stall that sells Kelantanese dishes. My personal favourite would be the stall's Nasi Dagang and Kerabu with fried fish in flour. Then, I would walk to the opposite stall to buy 'apom balik' or known as peanut cake in English and pick up a piece. Later on, my mother and I would walk to the vegetables stall to buy some fresh vegetables. I would then take a stroll to the snack stall selling peanuts and crackers to buy and bring snacks to school to share with my friends. Lastly, I would go to the soya stall to buy soy custards (YUMM!).

Delicious aye?
Well, those were the things I bought every Wednesday as a routine but not anymore. Two things I'm still loyal buying in a night market up to this day are the Nasi Dagang with fried fish in flour and the soya custards. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to snap any pictures from the night market as I haven't been there for weeks.
A night market doesn't necessarily sells food. I've been to the night market in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail when I was younger and ohh my, I remember the market was hugeeee! That was where I bought my hair comb which lasted for more than 6 years. I remember buying video tapes of the Power Rangers series as well and little knick knacks while my mother was shopping for food. Other than that, clothes were also sold and I think they still do up to this day.
Writing this post is making me having the urge to go to a night market. Oh well :)
