Taman Connaught Night Market (Wednesday)

I’ve been visiting this night market for many years, but this is the first time I’m writing about it. Over time, I’ve watched it evolve — from stalls selling Hong Kong-inspired snacks, to Taiwan’s street food craze, then the Japanese and Korean waves, and now even influences from China. It’s fascinating how this pasar malam reflects changing food trends and pop culture through the years. Many of the stalls here have gone viral on TikTok, with owners adding their own twist and creativity to their food and art. It’s a lively, colorful market full of sights, sounds, and scents that perfectly capture the essence of Malaysia’s night life. I went with my girlfriend yesterday, and we had a great time exploring the variety of local delicacies and cuisines. We even tried Japanese Wagyu — though to be honest, it wasn’t the best. It tasted like thinly sliced mixed cuts layered together with Wagyu tallow for flavor. Not exactly authentic, but still an interesting experience. Drinks, however, were spot-on. We had some refreshing local favorites like mata kucing and others. Overall, it’s a fun night market to visit once in a while for food, vibes, and people-watching — just be prepared for the parking challenge!

This market is only open one day a week. It's extremely long, but the path is easy to follow. I've been to many night markets and food markets but this particular location had a very foul smell that came in waves. It was almost unbearable. I kept trying to pin point where it was coming from but was left dumbfounded. The majority of the food is Chinese. They also have vendors selling just fruit or drinks. Some even have items for your pets or are doing tarot readings. Give yourself 2-4 hours here. There's a lot to see and try here.

If you’re in KL on a Wednesday definitely head here! A busy atmosphere and great prices. So many food stalls with some clothing and accessories stalls too. (Only thing is I felt there wasn’t a lot of vegetarian options)

Food and drink variety wasn't like i expected, similarity from couple of booth offering same menu, clothes, fruits, seafood..so i'm a bit disappointed when I took my family to visit this famous night market One other thing is everything there is pricy, I bought chicken and fish skin salted egg from a stall they charge RM13 for 'Big Size' as their board written, we watch the server put the products into a paper bag(small as we call it) and the quantity not even worth to say as small portion, so i'm sorry.. I have to give 3 stars only for this night market regarding price and variety

first time coming here as well, wear light, half empty stomach (so you won't over bought food 😅) walk, think, buy, eat and drink. some food need to eat immediately so you can feel the oomph, some can keep for the next day if you can't finish it like we do. fried smelly tofu, not to my liking but my son can accept it.

Very interesting to visit, very long night market offers different street food, small groceries and fresh fruits. The food I have ordered were tasty. It is the place worth to visit when you travelling to KL

Visited Taman Connaught Night Market and wow, it’s a foodie heaven! Stalls start opening around 5pm++ and the variety of unique food is amazing. The crowd builds up quickly, but that’s part of the fun. I tried the 黄金脆皮烧猪王 (crispy roast pork king) — super delicious, plus the boss and staff were really friendly. Also tried the guava from Guava Enterprise, very refreshing and unique, and the boss there was super nice too 😊. Overall, a great experience with plenty of tasty food around!

It's ok if you live nearby, but honestly now the variety is too little. Many of the items / food is kind of repetitive. Not much stalls selling cloth, only 1stalls selling fresh vegetables during the time I'm here.... Hope most operator for night market understand that, our night market is already losing identity with stalls selling Korean food, mainland China, mainland Taiwan, Indonesian food, while Malaysian traditional food is slowly becoming less and less. Connaught night market is a good example.

The Taman Connaught Night Market (康樂夜市) is quite far from city centre, and therefore it's less well-known among tourists. This is precisely why this night market is perhaps the best in Kuala Lumpur, where it's mainly consisted of locals and authentic, price-friendly food. This is also the largest night market in Kuala Lumpur. Unlike Jalan Alor (阿羅街), which is basically an outdoor food court (not night market), the Taman Connaught is legit, where it's filled with vendors selling night market food/snacks, not restaurants. There are two types of night markets, one being "food market", and one being "shopping" market. Taman Connaught is a "food" night market so you would mainly come here for cheap food and snacks. There are many Taiwanese, Chinese and Malaysian food here. For example, you can find Nasi Lemak, Laksa, Hokkien Prawn Mee, Hong Kong dimsum/BBQ, Taiwanese sausages, stinky tofu, skewers/satay, and all kinds of juices and drinks. However, some of the stalls repeat so you'd see the same thing over the long night market. Do be aware that it only opens on Wednesdays and the location is quite hard to access. I'd recommend doing Grab to there and back so it's safer. This night market is very authentic and is a must if you are here on a Wednesday. Much better than Jalan Alor.

First time here in Malaysia and a local driver suggested we check this out where locals come. We took a Grab taxi here since parking is a pain. This place is very crowded. Rain or shine. Mostly food and not too much for shopping besides some phone and clothing stalls. It's a great ace to explore when it's not too hot or don't mind being in a crowded place. It also helps to know what you kind of what by doing some research, otherwise it might end up walking around aimlessly without knowing what to try.

This is one of the longest night market in Malaysia which happens every Wednesday. You'll know it's on when you start seeing the jam on the Connaught highway. Do be ready to be stuck in the jam for some time if you're visiting. The entire stretch of night market will probably take about an hour to walk from one end to the other with the amount of people there. I think you can find almost anything there from food to phone accessories to car accessories to DVDs movies/songs to cosmetics to clothes and many many more. There are a few stalls which I especially like in this night market. 1) the Smelly Tau Fu which is situated at the start of the night market. 2) the Fruit Rojak located somewhere in the middle, and 3) the Ah Li Shan fried chicken. However, visitors beware of your belongings when you're there as pick-pocketing is quite common there. Parking is a bit of a problem as well, people usually park along the road but I prefer to park at the shop lots in front near UCSI.

Taman Connaught Night Market or I like calling it 'Pasar Malam' is one of the most famous pasar malam even among people not from Cheras. It is open every Wednesday evening. I've always heard about them from my friends and colleagues ever since secondary school. But so far I've only been there once and it was also because there was a period where my sister is very into fruit rojak from one of the rojak stall there. So I went there with her. Was so overwhelmed by the foods they have there. We bought so much that in the end we couldn't finish what we bought (including mango sticky rice, fried chickens, lou han guo, apam balik and of course what we were there for, fruit rojak). We even brought some home for the family. Although we have a super long pasar malam here in Klang/Setia Alam selling similar stuff, the store operators are not the same. Hence, some food are yummier here in Taman Connaught pasar malam which explains why my sis can drive all the way here from Klang. Well, Malaysian never complain when they are traveling for the sake of good foods.

The night market at Taman Connaught is one of the famous night market at Klang Valley. The entire area will jammed up whenever the night market is there and everyone seems to be crazy over it. Out of curiosity, I went to the night market to check it out myself. The night market is really huge, and probably the longest night market I've ever been. There were hundreds of stalls at the market and you'll find almost anything from here. They have food, clothes, household items and many more. After taking a walk from one end to the other end, I realised there was nothing much actually. You'll find stalls selling the exact same thing at the opposite end. In fact, you don't really need to walk the entire stretch to find what you want. I only went there once and never went back after that. Personally, I don't think there are anything too special at the night market and was very disappointed with it.

If you like the hustle and bustle of pasar malam and elbowing your way to your favourite stall is not a problem, drop by  Taman Connaught Pasar Malam. Touted to be one of the biggest and "longest" pasar malam it has a few hundereds stall selling variety of food, snacks and other  products! I throng the pasar malam for snacks. Here, I have my favourite stalls which are also crowd pullers. Number 1 for me is The Angry Cheese Chicken. Big piece of succulent chicken fillet filled with melted cheese and  deep fried to perfection. Every bite is crispy and  the  burst of the cheesy sensation makes it delightful ! The pizza stalls are also my favourite. There is the Taiwanese pizza which is similar to the Chinese pancake with spring onion . The pancake is pan fried to nice golden brown , crisp to bite with fragrant aroma of spring onion. The other pizza stall sells pizza similar to Okonomiyaki. Like the Japanese versions, you pick and choose your filling, from cheese, seafood or sausages  There are many more stalls to explore so do try to make a trip!

My partner used to stay in Cheras so he brought me here since we always talk about the longest night market ever and we finally gave it a try, it starts in the evening and ends around midnight, this place is like food hunting for nice food, so many things to look at. When we arrived, the crowd was already ridiculous since it was near Chinese new Year, such a bad timing and oh wells. We started from one end to another end to see what the hawkers served and cooked, i will list the one i can remember and the ones i always see around which sells the same thing - Tom Yum Fishball, curry fishball, Taiwan Spicy sausages, fried durian, accessories, phone covers, fire crackers, baby clothes, exercise clothes, pyjamas, korean inspired clothes, dresses, coconut ice cream(yummy), BBQ., daily essentials, cakes, snacks, preserved food and etc. Let me tell you my experienced with Taiwan spicy sausage, people say it is the most spiciest sausages and i was so confident because my partner cannot eat spicy and i like spicy - ONE BITE, MY TONGUE WAS GONE!. I needed a drink badly, an ice or something, iquickly ran to the nearest drink station and guess what? there were no drink station in the next 10-20M and my tongue was BURNING! When i arrived a drink station i quickly point and the girl was slowly taking her time in her mind thinking how much ice she needs to scoop and making sure she pours perfectly into the cup and i said HURRY! and she laughed at me with my burning tongue. i ate all the ice and i felt better but only for a second, i keep drinking in the next 4 drinking stations and then i was fine. My partner just kept laughing over and over again. NEVER AGAIN. I came here again the second time and know what to expect and this time i really enjoyed myself have a food spree. From one end to another end is equivalent to one meal if i eat proper i guess. The place is a must to bring foreigners.

Many stalls to explore but don't buy any phone accessories in front of CIMB bank. There is a short, chubby guy selling things which are expensive than other stores and is very arrogant. giving u a feeling if u asked for price for just a thing, u must buy from him...what a world?!
