Pasar malam

Pasar malam is a Malay word that literally means night market. 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 and ornaments. Pasar malams often open only one day 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.
