When it comes to planning a chilly retreat in Malaysia, Cameron Highlands rank high on our list! Situated in the highlands of Pahang, there are many exciting things to do in Cameron Highlands and that includes visiting the Sheep Sanctuary, enjoying fresh strawberries, and taking a step back in time at Time Tunnel! If there's another place that is worth adding to your list, it's definitely the famous night market!
Strategically located opposite the Golden Hills Apartment, Golden Hills Weekend Night Market is the best pasar malam (night market in Bahasa Malaysia) in Cameron Highlands. Held every Friday and Saturday night, this night market is often packed to the brim with locals and tourists looking for things to eat for dinner and supper.
This weekend night market starts at 5PM and lasts until 11PM. If you're visiting during the weekends, we recommend coming early, so you can enjoy a less crowded atmosphere. If you want to immerse yourself in this local shopping experience, the stalls are ready around dinnertime.
What makes Golden Hills Weekend Night Market a must-visit pasar malam in Cameron Highlands is the wide array of street food available. Most of the street food vendors are Muslims, so there are definitely many halal food options for you to try.
If you're hungry for something off the grill, let your nose lead you to stalls selling grilled meatballs, beef satays, chicken rice, sausage and nugget skewers, and more.
Let's not forget the wide array of deep fried seafood and vegetables too! Come and make your pick from crabs, prawns, vegetables, mushrooms and more. Remember to take home a few boxes for supper too!
If you haven't gotten the chance to visit the strawberry farms or buy fresh produce from the morning market, this weekend pasar malam also sells neatly packed strawberries (make sure to buy the chocolate dip!) as well as steamed tapioca and corn! Don't limit your purchases to food alone because this night market sells fresh flowers and herbs, key chains, plush toys, t-shirts, caps, and more.
