Nelson Quah suggested making pasar malams as part of the local itinerary for tourists who visit Singapore in Today. What a good idea. It should have been carried out long ago. It boosts both personal and national economy, as well as creates a unique experience for the tourists as well.
Though it can be stifling hot, that's part of the experience. The smells emitting from the food sold at the market can be foreign to some of us but we learn more about the types of food in the process.
I remember going to night markets in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Hangzhou. They are unique in their own way. Ladies' Market is full of ladies' items like clothes, shoes, handbags and accessories. There are also indoor food stalls to fill one's stomach. Shanghai's market is known for its branded goods. Though they aren't genuine, they are cheap and durable, after bargaining with the seller of course. Hangzhou's market has mostly food and some unusual but personally unappealing items are sold there like Smelly Doufu and Dog Meat.
