malaysia part 8

a trip to malaysia is never complete without a visit to the local pasar malam which are the outdoors markets the locals visit every week to stock up on fresh produce and buy sweets and snacks and freshly cooked meals


i like seeing the different snacks being made and this one looked like how the oldskool traditional chinese medicine healing thing heh cept it made coconut logs filled with guala melaka (sugar)


noods’ favourite sweet at the pasar malam is this soft pancake that kinda has the texture of a crumpet, folded and filled with ground peanuts, corn and sugar


whereas my ‘pancake’ of choice is the crispy style with the same filling


YARM!


row of otak-otak – banana wrapped parcels of tasty fish that’s incredibly fragrant and so very moreish


colourful dragonfruit


mounds of fishies!


stacks of satay waiting to be grilled


buckets of multi-coloured neon drinks with not a soft drink in sight! i love the choice in malaysia there’s always coconut juice, soya bean milk, grass jelly, and usually ribena for some reason haha i really wanted my drink in a plastic bag just like old times but apparently everyones gone upmarket and they use cups now lol


tis good tis fun
