I can't remember when was the last time that I had went to the Friday pasar malam in my neighbourhood but after all these years of absence, we went there yesterday and were surprised by the wide variety of street food available. The stalls would start appearing at Cangkat Damai in Bukit Mertajam as early as five o'clock and in my opinion, the best time to go the pasar malam would be around 7pm when the road is not so packed.
The pasar malam is not only about food. There are traders selling all sorts of household and other stuff, but what I'm going to show here are just the street food vendors
The food must be pretty good to have so many people waiting patiently so early in the evening.
Taiwanese burger, according to this hawker's signboard
Fruits galore
Taiwanese sausage
One of three stalls selling koay kak
This Pak Cik sells the ever-popular Malay version of pan cham koay
More fruits on sale. The going price for the chempedak was RM10 per kilo which was immensely exorbitant considering that at the market last year, I could buy the Chempedak Champion for RM7 per kilo.
The Malay lekor, which is more popular on the east coast rather than here.
Care for Vietnamese popiah?
Now, this is something that's very rarely seen. Marinated pork wrapped in a thin layer of pork fat.
Of course, there must be the kampong durian
Uhmm...I wouldn't know what to call these fried stuff but the ones in the foreground are yam balls.
