Pasar malam

Pasar malam

"Pasar malam" is a Malay word that literally means "night market", "Pasar" being related to "bazaar" in Persian. 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, clothes, movie discs and ornaments at cheap, reasonable prices. "Pasar malam"s often open only one to a few days 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.
