This is a most fascinating, amazing and underrated night market we've been in JB. We found it through Google search. When we arrived, there was no sign of any activity until someone pointed to us that it is behind some disused buildings. The food is quite unique and special. We tried the popiah palace. It's super yummy, particularly the popiah big Mac. It is run by this lovely couple who are very friendly. The satay stall next to it is also very good. The atmosphere and location is very alluring and attractive. It's not your usual night market. There's a live band at 9.

What an awesome night market place!!! Surrounded by old style residential buildings, at an unique location, with a harmony environment, making this place so relaxing, chilling and comfortable. The sellers here are very friendly and easy going style, you can always see their smiles on their faces. Variety of food are selling here as well!! Worth visiting!!! Highly recommend!!

Husband took me here to check out the place. The ambience is cool. Like those movie/IG worthy places. There is live band performing. Crowds only came in much later close to 10pm. A good selection of food stalls but no burger stalls. I love my popiah sira (5 for myr7) and Spanish latte (myr8). The popiah were crispy, fresh with the right amount of sweet sambal. Latte wasn't too strong. Not sure if we go there again but it's a visit not to be forgotten.
