Fodor's Expert Review Pasar Utama and Pasar Tamu

These busy covered markets are side by side in the center of town and are a great place to interact with the locals. Look for local delicacies, including belachan (salted shrimp paste), cincaluk (fermented shrimp paste, made with vinegar and salt), fruit, and other treats at the food stands. There's also a "wet market" in Pasar Utama where fish and seafood are traded.
