THE NIGHT MARKET IN BAYAN LEPAS REVISITED

   17th MAY 2025    ~ After attending the wedding in Sungai Petani, Kedah, [READ HERE] I had to cross over to Penang as I need to catch my flight home from Penang Airport. As usual, I had a stopover at a friend's house in Bayan Lepas. With a few hours more to kill, Puan Aishah Aboo Bakar and her husband decided to visit the Pasar Malam [translate: Night Market] near their house in Jalan Mahkamah.

This was my second time here at the Pasar Malam. The first time I visited this weekly market was back in 2023. [READ HERE]

As for the lovely husband-and-wife couple, they had not been at this place for many years and they made a comeback as there was a visitor and they had to play hosts. 😀

Even though Penang is always flocked by tourists all year long, this place was not an attraction to them. I think I was the only [local] tourist at that time who was busy taking photos.

[much] cheaper than at home

fried/salted seafood products

There were so many things on sale and the temptation to buy the food items was hard to resist. We ended up buying a variety of delicacies from the stalls for dinner to bring home.

Thanks again to Puan Aishah [a friend of UPM TESL Class of 1993] and Mr. Arif for the short trip to Pasar Malam. We should do this again, perhaps at other venues in Penang when I make a return trip in the future.
