Pasar Ramadhan Bayan Baru 2017

Pasar Ramadhan Bayan Baru 2017 (9 June 2017)


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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
