Pasar Mala

The group visited a market section dedicated to Malaysian foods and fruits. They found some familiar fruits from their home country for sale. They tried lychee, which had a weirdly sweet and tangy taste that was unusual to their palates. They also sampled various local foods like fried chicken and drinks. Before leaving, they spoke to a fruit vendor who shared the difficulties of preparing goods in advance and staying optimistic even without customers. The vendor's hard work and perseverance taught the group an important lesson about not giving up in the face of challenges or criticism.

Foods & Fruits

When we visited the section of the market that was dedicated to the foods, fruits, and
vegetables of Malaysia, we were pleasantly surprised to find some familiar sights of
fruits and vegetables that were available, and in demand in our home country.

Fruits such as Kiwis were a pleasant sight to


see. for I personally missed them.

Me and my group-mates tried a few of the fruits


around us and were ecstatic at how they tasted,
we tried some lychee, which is a round fruit that
is encased by a soft outer skin layer that can be
easily ripped through to get to the delicious part,
which is white in color, and almost papery in
texture, but the taste was weird to say the least,
for someone with an Arabic taste pallet it was
weirdly sweet, and tangy.

After that we moved around to different stands, in order to get a broader perspective
of our surroundings, which turned out to be a smart idea from us as we managed to
find a different side of Malaysia, where everything was within hand’s reach and you
could find almost anything in this awe inspiring place.

We stumbled upon a stall that sells a different assortment of fruits and vegetables
(Pictured above), we gazed upon what Malaysia has to over in regards to the bounty
of the soil.

We tried to find the much famed and talked about durian, the “King of Fruits “as they
say, but we were sadly out of luck to find such a fruit that we heard so much about,
such as its “wondrous” smell, and its excellent taste, were foreign to us due to the
lack of a proper durian vendor.

So we ventured on forward to look for more things to gaze upon in this night market,
and we stumbled across the area that’s dedicated to local foods and beverages, we
were greeted by a welcoming sight of Ayam Goreng, and hot and cold drinks.

We helped ourselves to some fried chicken and an assortment of drinks separated


between us, we were happy by how they tasted, and how they surprised our taste
buds with a barrage of flavor and good feelings
After that we started to wrap up our
tour, but before that we had a word
with one of the vendors about what
it was like selling their goods here.
We were greeted with a warm
welcome and a person like an open
book, he told us that it wasn’t easy,
preparing all the basic materials in
advance, so as to be ready come
opening time for his little corner.

He spoke about the hardness of staying optimistic, even if no customers stop by his
stall, and how he needs to measure out the exact amount of goods he needs to
prepare and put on sale so as not to waste anything.
His talk was really beneficial to us, and enlightening of how a hard-working
businessman thinks and goes about with his day to day business and dealings, and
so we as students must learn from this hard-worker to never give up just because
someone said they didn’t like what we did, but we must go forward and disregard
what they have, as not to weaken our willpower and therefore our future studies.
