'''Pasar malam''' is a Malay word that literally means ''night market'', "Pasar" being related to "bazaar" in Persian. A ''pasar malam'' is a market in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia that opens in the evening, usually in housing areas. It brings together a collection of stalls that usually sell goods such as fruit, vegetables, snacks, toys, clothes, movie discs and ornaments at cheap, reasonable prices. ''Pasar malam''s often open only one to a few days of the week, as the traders rotate around different housing areas on different days of the week. Haggling over prices is a common practice at such markets.
