What to expect
The streets around Pagoda and Trengganu Street fill with stalls after dark — souvenirs, snacks, and lantern displays that pick up intensity around Chinese New Year and other major festivals.
Street food
Skewers, grilled seafood, and other snack-style street food dominate — pair a wander through the market with a proper meal at Chinatown Complex nearby.
Best time to go
Evenings year-round, but especially vivid in the weeks around Chinese New Year when the full lantern displays go up.
