Pasar payang


Pasar Besar Kedai Payang or locally known as Pasar Payang is one of the must    visit spots in Terengganu.

 
 
   It is located stragically beside the Terengganu river near Chinatown and Syahbandar jetty. It is just within walking distance from Dataran Shahbandar, Istana Maziah, Bukit Puteri and Bazaar Warisan in Jalan Zultan Zainal Abidin, Kuala Terengganu This two-storey modern building comprises wet market and shopping arcade that sells interesting local handicrafts and also car park.
 
 
 
 

 
 Here, we can find batik, brassware, brocade, songket and handicrafts. For Batik fans, you can just find silk batik, batik and songket at level one of this building. The prices of these items are not really different for each batik shop as they are placed next to each other. There are also souvenir items along with fresh local product like fruits, vegetables and fish, or even the local delicacies such as Serunding and Keropok Lekor(crackers made from a mixture of fish and sago). Keropok lekor is a must try food when you are in Terengganu. It is the best to eat when it still hot and take with some local chili sauce. 
 

 
This place is also a great place to experience the culture as locals do their daily shopping in here too. Visitors also will have a delightful experience shopping for local product at reasonable prices. Don`t forget to use your bargain skill to get the best price for the product you wish to buy. Outside the market are trishaws as they are the best way used to see the city. Last but not least, visitors also can have lunch at the food court and restaurants around such as Bazar Warisan Food Court, Pasar Payang Food Court, Restaurant Shafinaz Nasi Padang, Restaurant KFC Paya Keladi Business Centre and others.
