Pasar pagi

Pasar pagi is where many housewives, domestic helpers, and local folks appear to shop for their daily needs, mostly uncooked fresh produce.

While pasar malam is more to cater a leisurely shopping and eating-out activity, selling ready-to-eat food, snacks, clothing, and various knick-knacks.

In Indonesia, practically all traditional markets are pasar pagi, open from early in the dawn to mid-day.

Often the stalls are temporarily overflowing occupying nearby streets around the marketplace — which normally open for traffic in other hours of the day.
