The Pasar Malam Night Market is a unique Singaporean bazaar which opens in random locations around Singapore, at various random times throughout the year, with different stallholders each time. Mostly operating in heartland estates, the Pasar Malam Night Market is an event by itself, usually staying at a location for between 3 to 15 days, and selling all manner of items.

A Pasar Malam Night Market is usually heralded by the apperance and construction of its Stall Frames, made of wood, metal and plastic scaffolding. This takes place at an outdoor location, usually 3 to 5 days before the Pasar Malam Night Market begins proper. This serves to give residents living around the area ample time to be aware that a Pasar Malam Night Market bazaar will soon commence near them.

A Pasar Malam Night Market has many different stalls, such as Popcorn & Drinks Stalls, Household Accessories Stall, Mobile Accessories Stall, Traditional Snacks & Dessert Fritters Stall, Fashion Accessories Stall, Toys Stall, and Clothing Stall. The highlight is usually the Stick Food Stall and Ramly Burger Stall, normally located in a central place within the bazaar, is usually the most convienently accessible, and is normally operated by the main owners.

I like visiting Pasar Malam Night Market bazaar for various items, because they're normally sold at below market prices, and are very cheap and affordable. These may include Stationery, Belts, Grooming Items, Fashion Accessories, Small Household Items, and Bags. Items bought from a Pasar Malam Night Market are usually of lower quality though, and not very durable.

I also like the range of food options at the Pasar Malam Night Market, including Cup Corn With Butter And Salt, Stick Sausage Cheese, Stick Sausage Black Pepper, Stick Sausage Taiwan Pork, Stick Fish Ball, Stick Squid Ball, Dessert Fritters - Fritter Banana Goreng Pisang, Fritter Sweet Potato, Fritter Yam, Fritter Tapioca, Ramly Burger Beef, Ramly Burger Chicken, Kueh Lupis Sweet Sticky Rice Dumplings, Fuzhou Oyster Fritter Cake, Prawn Fritter Cake, Vegetable Fritter Cake, Keropok Lekor Keping, and Honey Chicken Chop.

In particular, this is among the few places left in Singapore where you're able to get traditional Singaporean snacks, such as Putu Bambu Original or Muah Chee. If you're planning a visit, do note that admission is free, and allocate between 15 minutes to 30 minutes for visiting. There is no way to get prior warning online or offline that the Pasar Malam Night Market is opening in a certain location, you'll normally have to stumble across it, or via word of mouth.
