The 'pasar malam' (night market) is crowded with local folks, especially chinese community due to the coming Chinese New Year festive season. Stalls here start to sell decorative items and local delicacy for the festive season. This year, the Chinese New Year fall on 26th Jan. It is an Ox year according to chinese zodiac, and chinese community believe that ox is a symbol of strength and determination. I hope that the arrival of the year of ox will bring us progress and good fortune.

Malaysians from all walk of life (young, old, rich, poor) like to visit Pasar Malam due to the variety of foods (kebab, nasi lemak, yong-tau-fu, apam balik), local fruits (durian, nangka, mangoes). You will also find some cheap replica watches, handbag and clothes. Indeed it is a great experience to visit Pasar Malam.
