The Pasar Malam has evolved alot in the past few years. I remembered that about 20 years ago, they have lots of games stalls where one buys some tokens and start betting on the colours/ numbers. Every winner will get a tetra packed drinks. A certain number of drinks will entitile the player to change to a better prize.
Nowadays, the games are mainly for kids and the prizes looks big but cheap. All the products most stalls sells are imported from China. They are very cheap but of poor quality.
They use to sell window grills or metal gates a few years back. The most unique/ strange things you can see nowdays are HDB flats. Last night, I went to a pasar malam near my place and they are selling cars.
But of all, I think the strangest thing they sell now is eyebrow tattooing. You can see this woman with heavy make-up selling this service in pasar malam.
What will they sell in future?

Woah eyebrow tattooing? Sounds gross. Just imagine if she accidentally slips and the tattooing thing hits someone's eye. Yucks.
Anyway even though I don't like the stuff they sell at pasar malams, I love the food. But hey, if they really sell awkward stuff, they can't help it. Some people need a way to earn a living.

Pasar Malam seems to be dominated by the Malay community nowsadays. Everywhere I go I see Ramly Burger. It seems to be like the bubble tea craze. Everyone wants a share of the pie.

I think Pasar Malam food standard has been dropping. Ever since the overpopulation of Ramly burger stalls. The taste factor dropped alot compared to last time. JB burgers are much nicer.
The Chinese stalls sells the standard fare of fried stuff with the recent addition of Taiwanese bites.
I remembered in the past Pasar Malam had arcade machines and game stalls. Now arcades seems to be obselete and the rides and gameshops are left. The old days seems more fun.
