Do you remember how exciting it was to see pasar malams being set up in your neighbourhood or near MRT stations before the pandemic? Just the thought of all the delicious and affordable food is somehow enough to make us salivate.
Although no one has any idea when our beloved night markets will be back so we can enjoy street food once again, some of the vendors have decided to open up permanent physical stores so customers can satisfy their cravings whenever they hit. There are also stores in Singapore who have been selling pasar malam food for years.
Here are seven places you can get pasar malam food from in Singapore.
