Night Market in Kuala Lumpur

In Malaysia you will notice there are many night markets here. So no wonder you too can find one in Kuala Lumpur. Usually the night market starts at around 6 pm to 11 pm and sells lots of Malaysia delicacies as well as household products.
Night market is locally known as ‘Pasar Malam’ and very popular among Malaysians especially those who want buy fresh chicken, vegetables etc.
Lots of people go to Pasar Malam in Taman Setapak Jaya, KL
What I love about Pasar Malam is I can buy and enjoy my favourite food like Apam Balik and Murtabak. If you are non-Malaysian and never been here you may wonder what are the food I mentioned just now. The first picture above is the image of Pasar Malam held each and every Saturday night in Taman Setapak Jaya, Kuala Lumpur.
Apam Balik (near the hands)
What I can tell you about apam balik is; it is just a sweet pancake with the corn, coarse grounded peanuts and sugar inside it. When I go to Pasar Malam, usually I buy one because I don’t want to miss the delicious and sweet taste and this Apam Balik costs RM2.
Another thing I like is Murtabak that is similar to Roti Canai ( type of pancake) but this is one normally has meat or chicken curry mix with egg as the filling. You can find the spicy one or with the sweet taste.
The hot murtabaks are being cooked
Don’t forget to pay a visit to one of the night markets or Pasar Malam in this country when you visit Malaysia and I bet you will arrive in Kuala Lumpur soon.

Hi Pawi,
Thanks for the follow at twitter. I was in Kuala Lumpur the other day. I was there for 3 days. It was an excellent experience. Malaysians are pretty nice and warm people. I love the city, the people and food. I stayed in a hotel in jalan road. I like everything what I saw in Kuala Lumpur. The Petronas Tower is such a wonderful structure. Too bad they don’t allow visitors up to the highest part of the building.
I will difinitely visit your country again soon. Cheers,
Hi Rommel. Thank you for leaving your comment here. Sorry about the Petronas Tower in Kuala Lumpur. Usually people go there because there is a shopping centre called Suria KLCC where they can watch the movies and of course for shopping. The security there is quite tight.
I’ve visited your blog about Cebu properties. I love to travel but till now I never go outside Malaysia. I also have heard about the Cebu Island in the Philippines before and we seem to share the similar hot and humid tropical environment.
As far as I know, Cebu was one of the first islands to be visited by Spaniards in your country (if i’m not mistaken) around 500 years ago.
The nearby Mactan Island is popular to be the first site of fierce fight against Spaniards where the famous Ferdinand Magellan was killed.
I hope one day I will have the chance to visit the Philippines especially Cebu.
