Pasar malam is from Malay words which "pasar" means "market" and "malam" means "night". So pasar malam literally means night market.
In Singapore, pasar malam is a grouping of temporary outdoor stalls or stands used for the sale of local food/snacks, fruits, toys, clothings, handphone accessories, plants, CD, watches, etc. at reasonable prices. Pasar malam are normally found around housing estates and last for about 3 to 16 days. The stall holders will rotate around different housing areas on different days of the week.
Previously, pasar malam only operated in the evenings, so most of the families staying nearby will go for a walk after dinner. But nowsadays, some of the stall holders also operate in the day time.
The food stalls are always my favourite. Because I will be able to get my favourite local delicacies like otah, muah chee, fried mee siam, nasi lemak, etc. Yummy!!!
