AT THE PASAR MALAM


I have a happy time whenever I happen to visit the Pasar Malam or Night Market.  For those who are not Malaysians, here is a definition of what it means.
Pasar malam is a Malay word that literally means night market. A pasar malam is a market in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia that opens in the evening, usually in housing areas. It brings together a collection of stalls that usually sell goods such as fruit, vegetables, snacks, toys and ornaments. Pasar malams often open only one day of the week, as the traders rotate around different housing areas on different days of the week. Haggling over prices is a common practice at such markets.
