16 Must Try Food That Are Only Found At Pasar Malams

Cheese lovers rejoice! Now you need not travel halfway across the world to enjoy this cheesy delicacy! But if you have never heard of Raclette Cheese before, it is a cheese wheel originating from Switzerland that is melted over pasta, fries and meat dishes.

Highly Raved: Rosti with Raclette Cheese by The Raclette Factory at Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar. Made with (halal) President brand cheese air-flown from France, the piping hot cheese is melted over a bed of Swiss recipe Rosti and chicken cocktail sausages.

Unlike your average milk tea, pasar malam milk teas are often available in a wide range of flavours (think Thai Bandung, Charcoal Matcha and Okinawa Milk Tea, just to name a few) that could put all the Koi and Gong Cha milk teas to shame. Oh and did I mention they also come in 1-litre cups and takeaway buckets?

Highly Raved: Thai Green Milk Tea by Broti at Choa Chu Kang MRT

These UFO-shaped deep fried fritters of oysters, minced pork and spring onions are one of the most popular night market foods in Singapore. Inspired by the Fuzhou Oyster Cakes or Oyster Patties that originate from Fuqing in China, the meat puffs sold by the Teochew owners here also include scallops, crab sticks, octopus and prawns. The use of these ingredients is attributed to the fact that Fuqing is located in the coastal hills of China where an abundance of various seafood is available. Given that these snacks are as rare as UFO sightings, expect snaking queues for them every time during a night market.
