Nightlife Spot: Pasar Malam

Pasar Malam is Malay word Night Market, pronounce Paasaar Maalaam, please do not pronounce Payser Maylem. Pasar Malam is local peoples' way of nightlife since long time ago. The way of Pasar Malam is to have a place at night selling all sorts of daily products including fish, meat, vegetables, cattles, etc. Pasar Malam is open to anyone free entrance and the best is anyone can join in to sell whatever they have. You tourists want to join to sell your old backpack, boots etc, this is the place.

Pasar Malam is not so popular among modern trendy youngsters probably it look too old fashion and cheap, not suitbale to parade LV Gucci Prada Dior Armani etc. Pasar Malam is however still exist in most of Malaysia. Tourists should learn how to get to Pasar Malam, a good place to take photos etc. Visiting Pasar Malam is to experience the way of life of Malaysia at night. I suggest tourists to look for remote Pasar Malam in states of Kelantan, Terengganu or Pahang, less visited Pasar Malam provide more originality.
