Taman Connaught Night Market

Taman Connaught Night Market is also known as Cheras pasar malam. It is one of the most popular and largest night market (pasar malam) in Kuala Lumpur with about 700 stalls. The market will be mainly visited by locals as it isn’t near the city center.

Spread across a large area of about 2 km (1.2 mi), you will find lots of food stalls serving all kinds of Asian delicacies, like Indian, Japanese, Malay, Thai and Chinese. However, you should try out some of the local favorites, like Malaysian pancakes or asam laksa soup. If you want to try out something unique, then you should definitely have the Cola Chicken. It is a different kind of snack, with cola at the bottom of the cup, and then fried chicken is added at the top. Apart from food stalls, you will find shops selling clothes almost everywhere. However, most of the shops only sell female clothes. Taman Connaught is also well known for the availability of a wide range of pet stuff, like pet food, pet clothes and other accessories.

Because Taman Connaught Night Market is only open on Wednesdays from 5:00 pm to 01:00 am, you can expect a huge crowd. This area also lacks a LRT station which makes parking your car near the market very difficult if you’re not early.
