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, clothes, movie discs and ornaments at cheap, reasonable prices. Pasar malams 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. Image File history File links PasarMalam001. ... Image File history File links PasarMalam001. ...

Pasar malam and night markets are not to be confused. Pasar malams mostly open on Saturdays from 6pm to 11pm, around the housing areas, whereas night markets open every night. Most of the time, Pasar malams open directly at the roadside and would hinder traffic of the entire street from 6pm to 11pm. After 11pm the street is cleared and be reverted back to normal although pasar malams are usually held over a duration of a day to a week. Pasar malams are usually attended by families as a short outing.
