Pasar Malam (night market) at Terengganu

          The sun gradually dropped below the horizon and the darkness crawled instead of evening’s soft light. The light fittings which lined up along both sides of the road leading us to Pasa Malam (night market) lightened in unison while our luxury bus was parking. On the left side of us, there was a little beautiful neat garden was decorated with the flowering trees and ornamental plants. Some was in charming colorful bloom and attracted us to take photos for awhile. On the right side, there were a lot of people all ages were flowing freely like water into this market in order to purchase the delicious food, utensil, clothes and accessory after finishing a hard long working day. The roaring sound of the crowded drifted along the wind and touched our ears while we were taking photos. More than that, the gray light smoke and rich smell in various kinds of food that was cooked by professional chef floated through air and motivated us to reach there as fast as we can.

 At the same time, we did not forget to keep the beautiful image of buildings and environment in time of twilight by our favorite camera while we were walking into the market. We fascinated and enjoyed and our nice teacher walked quite far ahead of us. Therefore, we all had to quicken up our steps to keep up with her because we were afraid to get lost. The first thing which touched our eyes when we arrived the market entrance was the dozens of shops and food stands arranged in a long row in a huge courtyard and it was nice pictures. Colorful and various Malaysian foods that were a bit different from our native food were sold here. Suddenly, our stomach and salivary glands began to work while we were walking passed those food stands. Even though our poor stomach was pleading us again and again, we could not respond because of the difference in language. We had to ask our lovely teacher for help to be the interpreter. We continued walking and noticed one food stand was offering tasty Malaysian fish crisp or called “Kre Pok”, small round shape and a bit long like our middle finger. We hastened towards that food stand with full desire to taste it. Oh, how could we explain its taste?  Its outside was crispy and soft inside, really yummy! Finally, we did not purchase any food there except that delicious fish crisp.
