The night market (also more commonly known as a Pasar Malam to the locals) phenomenon is incredibly vibrant in the state of Penang as there about 96 of them scattered throughout the island. They are a fun place to stroll around in the evening, and they also help to serve the desires and needs of the surrounding community, whether it be groceries, merchandise, and most certainly, street food. The night market located at the parking lot of Kompleks Tasek Gelugor (also known as the Pusat Komersial Tasek Gelugor) is no exception to this.
There’s a variety of food to be had, much like any pasar malam. That said, one of the standouts at this pasar malam is Adam’s Roti Bakar. As the name would suggest, this stall specialises in roti bakar, but also serves up roti John, and many other bread items. A noteworthy competitor to this stall is Zaly’s Roti John, whose specialty roti John has kept customers coming back for more. There are also stalls that are dedicated to getting great drinks to wash all this rich food down, such as Aneka Minuman Mashee.
Like most of the night markets in the country, the one at the parking lot of Kompleks Tasek Gelugor gets far more extravagant during the fasting month. With more food items and drinks to tuck into, it becomes a great place to break the daily fast. So head on down to Kompleks Tasek Gelugor to experience the night market experience. With the wealth of options to be had here, there’s plenty to enjoy.
