Walking the Pasar Malam with My parents… 30+ Years Later

It’s been decades since I last visited the pasar malam in my childhood neighbourhood of Ipoh Garden East. Tonight, I came back with my parents — now both in their 80s.

The pasar malam felt so long, with endless stalls selling all kinds of delicious food… not exactly the healthy kind 😄 but so nostalgic.

After a long walk, we finally settled on something simple and comforting — Look Look in hot pot. We even brought our own stainless steel containers to tapau the skewers and peanut sauce.

Dad chose assam laksa, and I added some steamed fried fish balls too.

It really brought back memories of walking the pasar malam with my parents when I was young… and now, here we are again, almost four decades later.

We’ll definitely be back to try more next time!
