Any given Friday in Langkawi

Another day, another night market. People are rushing from different parts of the island in order to purchase their food supplies. Some of them are "big"...



and some of them are very small.







There are many hungry souls on their way, so it calls for lots of preparations.





And even if you're not entirely grown up, you can still help your busy parents, and it doesn't hurt if you look cute while doing it.





Finally after a long day it's time to go home and get some well deserved rest.

Night market in Kuah

This evening we went to the night market (pasar malam). The market focuses mostly on food and gets our stamp of approval. We recommend it if you want to try samples of real Asian dishes. Everything is dirt cheap, around 1-3 Ringgit (2-6 SEK or 1-2 PLN). It's nice that it's a night market, cause when the sun sets it's not so frickin' hot anymore.

One really tasty little dish that we wanna single out is the doroyaki (see second picture from the top). It's a sweet Japanese cake with different fillings like coconut milk for example, they were delicious!

We also bought a couple of DVD's, you get new stuff (like Avatar and Sherlock Holmes) for less than 7 Ringgit a piece so we suspect that everything may not be a 100% legit, but what the hell. For that price the subtitles can at times be a little sketchy. For example when Robert Downey Jr tells Jude Law that he "made a rapid recovery", the subtitles said he made a "radical copy", but that's Malaysia for you. Charming.
