Malay-oriented Pasar Malam
'Pasar Malam' in Malay means 'night market'. First mooted about three decades ago for small traders to sell their goods in the evenings, the pasar malam is a great way for Malaysians do their shopping because it's so convenient.
Pasar malam are basically streets transformed into open-air night markets usually located in residential areas and normally opened only a day in the week. Opened from 6pm till about 10.30pm, these night markets offer a huge assortment of goods for sale - groceries, clothes, fashion accessories, local hawker fare, household items, fresh produce, the latest fads and gizmos, etc., all at unbelievably low prices
Depending on the ethnic majority of the enclave in which the pasar malam is located, a dominant ethnic cultural ethos will prevail. One such ethos that is highly pronounced in terms of its ambient vibrancy is the Malay or Muslim pasar malam. Here, traders cater to the Muslim community with a wide diversity of products ranging from religious items such as tikar sembahyang (prayer mats), telekung (prayer gowns), tudung (headscarves), kopiah (prayer hats or caps) and other religious attire, to well-heeled fashionwear and accessories, household ornaments, kitchen utensil and cutlery, etc.
And, of course, not forgetting the huge variety of Malay food, hot snacks and the ubiquitous kuih-muih Melayu (Malay cakes and pastries). Savour the rich and spicy aroma and taste of the traditional nasi (rice) specialties together with richly spiced-up soups such as sup ekor or sup tulang.
The large assortment of Malay cakes and pastries are the stuff of legends in the Malay/muslim pasar malam. Here, mouth-watering delights such as the Kelantanese atok and peria and the ever-popular kuih lapis beckon tantalizingly. There's also halal Chinese-styled dim sum and pau to whet the appetite. The famous mamak food stalls that serve their ever popular roti canai, roti jala, murtabak, etc., are always crowded with customers.
Such is the vibrancy of the Malay/muslim pasar malam. Visit the more prominent ones located at Kota Damansara, Taman Tun Dr. Ismail or Bangsar and enjoy the unique cultural ambience of sights, sounds and smells these have have to offer.
