This night market is opposite the Star Regency. It is within walking distance from here.

It is quite difficult to find a parking spot here. To get a car park need a little more patience.

The night market was overflowed with crowds, food and vendors. We hardly move through the small alley between two rows of stalls. The roads from Kea Farm to Brinchang town would be pack with tourists during the peak season. We went there in the evening on 9.6.2012.

It is the most ideal place for a food lover as they have more vendors that sell a variety of local street foods. Strawberries dip in melted chocolate which costs RM2.00 each. We bought two to try. A favorite for both kids and adults alike. These chocolate dipped marshmallow pops will make everyone feel like a kid.

Four pieces at only RM2.00. Really cheap. We bought eight pieces to try.Delicious when eaten warm.

The girl was filling the stuff into bamboo tube. 

Then the items are placed in a bamboo holder and steamed.

Each of them is pushed out from the bamboo tube and wrap with banana leaves.
