A true immersion into Malaysian street food culture begins in a pasar malam, the heart of many neighbourhoods
Recurring night markets are a staple in many neighbourhoods, and many people have their loyalties with certain stalls, certain people, and certain foods.
The night markets in the Klang Valley range from small and intimate, to expansive swaths of coloured umbrellas and sounds of generators running.
Sure you've heard of the popular Taman Connaught or SS2 pasar malams, but if the weekly schedule does not align, you don't have to wait another week to get your fix.
With so many around the Klang Valley, it can be difficult to keep up with the different days and locations. Allow this to be your definitive guide for where to go next.
