Exploring Singapore Night Market | Pasar Malam | ft. Street Food from Different Countries
This is a roaming night market in Singapore aka Pasar Malam. Pasar Malam is a term in Malay language which literally means....yes you got it - Night Market (malam means night and pasar means market).
Pasar malam started in Singapore in 1950s before modern heartland malls were built. Back then, the first pasar malam in Singapore was organised by hawkers on a weekly basis (to coincide with worker's payday) and set up near the British military bases. This temporary pop-up event sells everything from household items to plants and lotsa food. Usually such pop-up events last about 2 weeks to a month depending on the organiser. Once the time is up, they wrap up everything then head to the next town and repeat what they do. If you get a chance to visit Singapore, do pop by one of these pasar malam. You can join Facebook Groups such as to find out where will the next pasar malam be held.

In the long run, we hope to house our non-recipe related videos in another channel but give us a little time to think of a name for our new channel. Until then, since almost half of you like us to include more videos that aren't food-related, here's another one of such videos. Those of you who aren't keen on such videos, please bear with us.

OLD TEKKA MARKET LAST DAY before renovation
SINGAPORE: The Tekka Centre, which is located at Blk 665, Buffalo Road, will close for upgrading on 1 May 2008 till the third quarter of 2009.
It will be given a makeover under the National Environment Agency (NEA)’s Hawker Centres Upgrading Programme (HUP).
The market cum hawker centre was built in 1980 and has become a tourist attraction over the years.
NEA said the upgraded centre will be more accessible as there will be provisions such as escalators, lifts and wider passageways for the elderly and handicapped. The centre’s total seating capacity will also be increased after the upgrading.
During the upgrading period, about half of the stallholders will continue their business operations at a temporary centre located between Northumberland Road and Race Course Road.
Most of the remaining stallholders have decided to rest during the upgrading period.
The NEA manages 112 markets/food centres. To date, 62 markets/food centres have been upgraded. The centres currently undergoing upgrading include Blk 335 of Smith Street and Geylang Serai Market. — CNA/vm

Singapore / Street Food at Pasar Malam (Night Market) Woodlands MRT (Street Food Tour) / Walk 139
Support me on Ko-fi!
Pasar malam (Dutch: Nacht Markt or Avondmarkt) is an Indonesian and Malay word that literally means night market (the word comes from bazaar in Persian. A pasar malam is a street market in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore that opens in the evening, usually in residential neighbourhoods.
It brings together a collection of stalls that usually sell goods such as snacks, local favourite dishes, fruits, clothes, shoes, toys, balloons, watch and alarm clocks, knick-knacks and ornaments at cheap or at least reasonable prices. Unauthorized copies of DVDs, CDs and computer software are often sold at a pasar malam.
Pasar malam might resemble a night festival or a fairground, where fair games and kiddy rides, like mini carousel or mini train ride may also present. Several quintessential fair snacks like cotton candy, ice cream, hot dogs and grilled sausages are also popular, next to the offerings of traditional local delicacies. A pasar malam often takes place only one to a few days of the week, as the traders rotate around different neighbourhoods on different days of the week. Haggling over prices is a common practice at such markets.
In Indonesian archipelago, markets are traditionally held in different days with locations rotating among participating villages. This traditional economic custom is known as Hari Pasaran (lit. market days) in Javanese. After being further developed, market was established more permanently like it is today. The night market is regarded as the continuation of this non-permanent market culture. Night market are usually held during special occasion or festival, such as Sekaten festival in Java, or held in Ramadhan nights, approximately a week before Lebaran.
After the discovery of electricity and lightbulb, the night markets were held more frequently in colonial Dutch East Indies in early 20th century. The most notable one is Pasar Gambir, a night market fair held in 1906 and yearly from 1921 until the outbreak of World War II in 1942, in the Koningsplein, Batavia, Dutch East Indies (now Merdeka Square, Jakarta, Indonesia) to celebrate the birthday of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. It has become the predecessor of the annual Jakarta Fair and Den Haag's Tong Tong Fair which are actually a night market and festival held for several weeks. However, in Bengali 'Pasar malam' means cream of bum.
In Java, especially in the Javanese royal cities Yogyakarta and Surakarta, the grand week-long pasar malam is usually held annually during the Sekaten festival to celebrate Mawlid or the birthday of prophet Muhammad. During colonial Dutch East Indies the annual Pasar Malam was held in Pasar Gambir (today Merdeka square) and become the predecessor of modern Jakarta's annual Jakarta Fair.
Today, several kecamatan (district) in Jakarta and also other provinces in Indonesia, hold weekly pasar malam, usually every Saturday night in a nearby alun-alun square, open fields or marketplaces. In Indonesia, pasar malam has become a weekly recreational place for local families. Other than selling variety of goods and foods, some pasar malam also offer kiddy rides and carnival games, such as mini carousel or mini train ride. In Palembang, a popular pasar malam is located on front of Kuto Besak Fort on the bank of Musi River. This pasar malam sells local dishes and snacks such as pempek, lenggang and tekwan, and also offers souvenirs and handy crafts.
In Malaysia, Pasar Malam are normally setup at temporary closed street for vehicle and open for pedestrian during evening until late night on weekly basis. At certain location due to frequency or few time in a week, narrow and busy street also safety reasons, Pasar Malam will open at Tapak Pasar Malam on nighttime which describe an allocation space that convert a parking space during a daytime.
Due to the hot Malaysian weather during the daytime, the Pasar Malam has become a nightlife activity that attracts local community after working time and tourist crowd to shop with moderate night temperatures looking for cheap hot foods, clothing, groceries and etc. The vendor licenses are obtained from local authorities under the local council area.
Majority of the local vendor selling plenty type of drinks, hot foods and local delicacies from Malay, Malaysian Chinese and Indian background which are famous and also the difficult to find, fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh fish and seafoods, fresh meat and poultry, toys, family range of clothes and accessories. Some local vendor also selling a live pets or even a phone accessories.
The easiest way looking a Pasar Malam in Malaysia by typing Pasar Malam on Google Maps. An info on location, opening day and hours will certainly useful.

River Valley Singapore Info:
River Valley is a planning area located within the Central Area of the Central Region of Singapore. The planning area shares boundaries with Orchard in the north, Museum in the east, Tanglin in the west and Singapore River in the south.
Tiong Bahru Market Singapore Info:
In 1955, the Tiong Bahru Market (Seng Poh Market) was constructed under the auspices of the National Environment Agency after some hawkers moved to an open area on Seng Poh Road.
The market was constructed of stalls with a simple wooden frame and zinc pitched roofs. Meats were hung without refrigeration. The Tiong Bahru market catered to the residents of the Tiong Bahru, Bukit Merah, and Henderson estates. Heritage street foods such as for mee, chwee kueh, Hokkien mee, pao, porridge, and roast pork were available in the market as well as a diverse number of goods for sale from textiles to flowers and many besides. bartering for the best price was common.
In 1993 and 2004, improvements were made to the market including a watertight roof, brighter lights, a broader walkway and garden lights. In 2004, the market was closed for two years for rebuilding. Stallholders were relocated to a temporary site on Kim Pong Road during this time. Kim Pong Road was named after Low Kim Pong (1837 – 1909) a local merchant and philanthropist, and the co-founder of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce. In 2006, the new market opened. It was a concrete two storey structure with a wet market and retail stalls on the ground floor and upstairs, an area for hawkers. It remains a place of community heritage.
There are tours of the market, surrounding blocks of flats and the nearby WWII air raid shelters. In 2012, the National Heritage Board created an exhibition near the Tiong Bahru market to commemorate the battle for Singapore. Some, especially older residents and vendors, miss the vibrant atmosphere of the old market.

Singapore / Balestier Market, A Food Court with Classic Singaporean Food / Walk 95
Support me on Ko-fi!
From :
Balestier Market is the only surviving rural market building in Singapore. It was built in 1922 as a wet market where former street-side fresh food vendors could sell their goods without obstructing traffic.
The market was originally just a concrete platform, and a roof was later added in 1925. Although officially named Balestier Road Market, locals referred to it as Or Kio Pa Sat (“black bridge market” in Hokkien), after a black wooden bridge in the vicinity. It was also known as Tee Pa Sat (“Iron Market” in Hokkien) as a metal fence once surrounded the market.
The market was a busy place in the mid-1900s when it housed about two dozen stalls. Its vendors sold fresh vegetables and pork, and slaughtered live poultry and frogs for customers. Outside the market, there were hawkers who sold cooked food such as char kway teow (stir-fried flat noodles), nasi lemak (rice cooked in coconut milk) and roti prata (fried flatbread with curry).
During the Japanese Occupation, the market served as a distribution centre for food rations. After the war, the market continued to operate as a wet market, and was upgraded in 1952 to increase its number of stalls and improve hygiene. It was conserved in 2003 and later converted into a food centre.
Such early attempts by the authorities to set up permanent market spaces were in part to remove temporary hawkers who would otherwise sell their wares by the roadside as well as to improve the licensing and regulation of hawkers. Nevertheless, inspectors would still at times find false scales and some hawkers would still continue to sell from makeshift stalls by the roadside outside the market, perhaps to elude the authorities.
The original market consisted of a row of small huts with a pitched zinc roof. This facility was renovated in 1999. Unfortunately, the number of vendors had fallen by then, so customers preferred to do their marketing at Whampoa Market at Whampoa Drive. As business dwindled, many stallholders who had been at Balestier Market over generations retired when the market closed for redevelopment in 2004. Today, the only surviving 'rural' market on mainland Singapore houses a food court serving familiar local favourites such as chicken rice and satay.
From :
Balestier Market was known locally as the Or Kio Market, and was usually bustling in the mornings when housewives did their marketing. The market then consisted of a row of small metal huts with pitched zinc roof and there were steps leading to the market which was built on a higher ground. Later during the Japanese Occupation, the market was used as a food rationing centre for the locals.
In 1999, the market was renovated and a hawker centre was built. However, due to the small number of vendors, many customers preferred to go over to the bigger Whampoa Market which is also affectionately known as the Tua Pah Sat (“big market” in Hokkien).
In the face of dwindling businesses, many of the stall hawkers who had been at Or Kio Market for generations chose to retire when the market closed in 2004. From then onwards, it was the only remaining “rural” market on the main island of Singapore. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) had plans to conserve the place of historic significance and later decided to modernize the market.
Following the closure, Balestier Market and Food Centre was corporatized and sold to Banquet Holdings Pte Ltd, a local company set up in August 1999. It was opened in June 2008 after a major renovation.

Market Street Hawker Centre - 10 Stalls For Inexpensive Tasty Eats In The CBD
Market Street Interim Hawker Centre can be a mini-mayhem come lunch time, with long queues at many of the popular stalls, and finding a seat for a group close to impossible.
This is temporary food centre as the iconic Golden Shoe Food Centre was demonlished to make way for a new building.
After having stalls that have been selling local food at Raffles Place for the past 33 years, it was sad to see Golden Shoe Food Centre go.
At least for the good news, most of the stalls (except Market Street Long House Popiah) have relocated to the Market Street Interim Hawker Centre just next to Telok Ayer MRT station, all situated within the ground level.
Lau Pa Sat Singapore's First Wet Market Hawker Food Satay Seafood Laksa Chili Crab - Phil in Bangkok
Lau Pa Sat (or old market in the Hokkien dialect) was Singapore's first wet market that dates back over 150 years ago to the time of Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore. It was subsequently converted into a famous gourmet paradise and has been gazetted as a national monument since 1973. Over the years, Singapore's hawker food culture has evolved tremendously: once rooted in the itinerant hawkers who plied the streets on foot or behind carts, or set up shop in temporary 'villages' of stalls, it now boasts an empire of clean, permanent hawker centres, breezily open-air or coolly air-conditioned, and is the focus of innumerable TV shows, print articles, and, of course, arguments over who cooks the best. Time has not changed Singaporeans' national obsession with street food, our love for the colourful cultures and cuisines that are its foundation: regional variations of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Nonya eats, as well as Western fare like chicken cutlets and chips, and unique flourishes like local coffee and tea -- brewed in a muslin filter, foamed up not with an espresso-machine nozzle, but by being poured in sweeping arcs between two mugs. Hawkers are the epitome of the enthusiastic, gung-ho Singaporean approach to life and food. The uncles and aunties who rise before the sun does, who spend hours prepping ingredients, standing behind flaming-hot woks, and patiently taking orders.

Famous Soup Stall In Penang Serving Unusual Menu - Bull's Penis Soup
Sup Hameed is renowned for its soups, not just for the wide variety that it offers, but also for the uniqueness of their tastes. Judging on a superficial level will probably do their soups injustice because they aren’t starchy or thick, and look, in fact, like any other soup would; but what distinguishes their soups is their characteristic taste. Most willv have their soup served with bread, the roti benggali, which is handmade. If you’re feeling adventurous, they have the sup torpedo, which is the bull’s penis soup. They also serve the usual mamak fare, such as nasi kandar, nasi lemak and roti canai.
