It's once again the Muslim holy month of Ramadhan. Even though we are not Muslim, it is a great opportunity for us to enjoy Muslim fare that is available at the various Pasar Ramadhan. On Penang Island, one of the biggest pasar Ramadhan is the one at Bayan Baru. There is in fact an even bigger one in Balik Pulau, but it is too far away for us to go, so the Bayan Baru Pasar Ramadhan is our usual haunt.
We have so far visited the pasar Ramadhan twice. The first time, the area was so congested, I decided to remain in the car while my wife when shopping for Ramadhan fare. This time around, I managed to find a parking spot along Jalan Mayang Pasir 3, so we walked from there to the Ramadhan market.
It was so crowded. Even from far, we can see the throng of people walking towards the area. The number of stalls is pretty much unchanged compared to previous years. This time my wife and I went separate ways, so that we could do our own shopping. I bought barbecued chicken, honey roasted chicken and deep-fried chicken for my dinner (I will have them with vegetables). My wife bought murtabak and drinks. We finished our shopping in less than 15 minutes. It was efficient and fun for us.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
