Pulut Panggang

Pasar malam or night market which is a popular Malaysian activity throughout the country stretching from the very North of the peninsular to the very South of the East Malaysian state of Sabah. Night markets are popular night time activities for Malaysians of all walks of life. In the night markets there are all kinds of vendors selling popular Malaysian cuisines, from Malay to Chinese cakes, delicacies, and cuisines. I prefer the small unique food items from the night markets.

Peanut Butter Pancake

Of all the cooked items that is found in these night markets, the most commonly found in the night markets are pulut panggang or banana leaf wrapped glutonous rice, apam or pancake, and fried chicken breast. other these commonly found cooked items, there are also the food carts that sells sugar cane drink, coconut water and soy bean drinks. Of cause there are also all kinds of unique food items found in the night markets.

Fried Chicken Breast

One of the main reason these night markets is a popular night activity is due to the closed proximity these night markets are located to residential areas. And these night markets are also weekly activities within each location. So, all the night market vendors will get to retail their products and wares every night at different locations on different nights. The opportunity to operate their business to a wider market is tremendously appealing for these night market vendors.
