Ramadan Bazaars - don't you just love them? Not only can we find a huge variety of local food here, we love taking in the sights and smells, as well as the friendly faces of the vendors (whom all very sportingly posed for photos for us too). For the past two years, we have been taking our kids to the Pasar Ramadan in Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, Cheras.
There are at least 50 stalls here set-up here this year, with local specialities such as ayam percik, ayam madu, grilled chicken wings, assam laksa, lauk pauk, satay, ikan bakar, murtabak, kerang/lala, otak-otak, sup power, rojak pasembur, popiah, laksa utara, kuih-muih and colourful drinks. I was happy to see that many stalls took the initiative to put up prices for their items now.
I shall keep this short and sweet, but do enjoy the shots that we took at the Ramadan bazaar last week - or better still, pay a visit to enjoy some local food at affordable prices.

Assam laksa - superb!
On another visit, we tried several more items from this bazaar. Looks like a few shops close on Sundays, we couldn't get the assam laksa from the stall we went to the last time, but the alternative stall was very good too. We also tried the nasi kerabu, the blue rice served with some salad, ikan masin (salted fish), salted duck;s egg, pickles and some other condiments. Not forgetting some cucur udang, ayam goreng berempah (from the Belimbing Corner stall), some kuih including one which tasted like mochi with a peanut filling.. (the name is either cipka or picka - forgotten the name but we got it from the same shop that we got the cucur udang) and lemang with beef rendang.
A Ramadan feast

On another visit, we picked up some sambal cencaru, gulai kawah, assam laksa, ayam goreng berempah - all for just RM19. Tastes so good!

Fantastic! Going to try this bazaar today
ReplyDeleteHaven't been to any for a few years now - simply too many and any Tom, Dick or Harry would set up stalls selling not very nice stuff. I'd just cook my own...or go to the familiar shops to get what I want.
ReplyDeleteActually they need to go thru a selection process before they can open stall. So far all the food we bought and try have been good :)
DeleteGimme lots of kerang, plenty of ayam rempah and a bit of murtabak! :D
ReplyDeleteThe ayam rempah is tops! So good. Still thinking about it.
DeleteLots of yummy food to be found here... thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteYeah cant wait to visit more.
DeleteWhat a fantastic range of really delicious food! :D
ReplyDeleteLook fwd to these bazaars every year, local food from all over Malaysia can be found here :)
DeleteThat BBQ chicken looks AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteYea, though it's too much eating for my small family. We usually get the leg only or chicken wings. :D
DeleteFood looks amazing and prices look really affordable. A feast for the senses I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteHaha yea, been visiting the pasar ramadan almost every evening now (if there's no rain).
DeleteFriendly and smiling vendors all around...none of the surly types! =)
ReplyDeleteHehe some of them even ask why we never take photos of them? Lol all not camera shy for sure :)
Deletecan't wait till 5pm again to visit the bazaars! so delicious:)
ReplyDeleteHopefully no rain!
DeleteA place I'll look forward during the fasting month! hehe...
ReplyDeleteVisited one over the weekend..so many things that I feel like eating...but my stomach only has limited space :-p
Ya but there's a few nearby so we just get a little each time :)
DeleteOh my goodness. I've never been to a Ramadan Bazaar, but I would very much like to, and that one looks fabulous! All that gorgeous food!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tour! I don't get to visit, but food blog is such an awesome place to share some places where I cannot visit (yet). :)
ReplyDeleteI love Food Bazaars.. any kind for that matter! ;)
ReplyDeletethis one looks good... I can see myself buying quite a few goodies here...drools...
Dear Baby Sumo,
ReplyDeleteThe ayam goreng berempah and chicken wings look good but I'll give the nasi kerabu a miss. Also, since when did boiled egg find its way into assam laksa? What is sup power, tongkeng and pedal??
gotta get myself to one of these before puasa month ends!
ReplyDeleteu should try nasi ambeng johor..located just in front PHD..
