After Dark: Your Guide to Penang’s Night Markets (Pasar Malam)
When the sun sets, Penang’s night markets (Pasar Malam) spring up with sizzling snacks, colourful textiles, and the chaotic energy of local life.
The Schedule
- Monday: Macallum Street — one of the largest
- Tuesday: Tanjung Bungah — quieter, more local

- Thursday: Jalan Sungai Dua — student-friendly prices
- Friday: Balik Pulau — countryside market
- Saturday: Bayan Baru — huge variety
- Sunday: Batu Ferringhi — most tourist-friendly, runs daily
What to Eat
Apom Balik — Crispy peanut pancake made on a cast iron mould. The sizzle is hypnotic.
Stinky Tofu — Love it or hate it. Deep-fried fermented tofu with a surprisingly mild flavour.
Pisang Goreng — Simple fried banana fritters. Best hot from the wok.
Lok Lok — DIY skewers in boiling broth. Bring your own Tanjong Sauce® for extra flavour.
How to Bargain
At Batu Ferringhi, bargaining is expected. Start at 50-60% of asking price and meet in the middle. At local markets, prices are usually fair and fixed.
After the market, take home Tanjong Sauce® — the taste of Penang you can keep.
