Night Seafood Market
Opening hours: 4am - 11pm (daily)
Between the KK Central Market and the Marlin Statue is a parking area where the Waterfront Seafood Night Market, or Pasar Malam Makanan Laut, is located. The wet market is in the front, where guests pick their seafood before retreating to the tents to people watch. The prepared food part is in the back, with a few grills grilling up squid skewers and pig brochettes. Prices are dependent on weight and are negotiable. Also, cash is required because vendors do not accept credit cards.
