The pasar malam or night market is very popular in Malaysia.

It is made up of a group of
travelling hawkers who go to different place each night to sell their goods.

A trip to a night market can be very interesting. There always a wide variety of things to see
and buy. Colourful clothes, plastic goods, different types of cooking utensils, bags and the
latest fashion in shoes are commonly found at the night market. Besides this, you can find
fresh vegetables, meat and fish, dries foodstuff and fruit. If you are hungry, there is
delicious selection of food and even drinks to choose from. You can either eat at the tables
provided or pack the food home.

The medicine seller at the night market is one of the main attractions. He is usually
surrounded by a large crowd of people all eager to hear what he has to present. The
medicine seller usually entertains the crowd with his fantastic stories and sometimes carries
out demonstrations to prove to the crowd how good his medicine are.

Many people go to the night market to buy things because prices are lower there.
Futhermore, it is also very convenient as you do not have to travel far to go to one. The
night market ‘travels’ to you. You can normally find a night market that goes to your
neighbourhood.
