Hi there,

Pasar (the correct spelling) is a Malay word for "market". Two types of market, can find these in Asian countries, dry and wet.

Wet markets usually have an array of fresh fruits, vegetables, sea food and poultry. The term ‘wet markets’ comes from the constant use of water in these markets, on floors, on fruits and vegetables, tanks of live sea creatures, etc.

In wet markets, sellers constantly use water to wash down foods and floors to keep them clean and humid. The humidity in the temperature ensures that the food stay fresh for longer periods of time. These markets are open from sunrise to late night, with the best produce being found early in the morning or in the evening. These markets also offer small live animals and sea food options. The people get to see the small animals and choose them before the animal is killed and skinned in front of them.

Dry markets usually have dry goods such as textiles, furniture¸ clothing stores, etc. These stores sometimes provide wholesale prices on such goods.

Dry markets are also not limited to having just these items and can also items such as spices, household items, kitchen appliances, snacks, dried fruits and many other items. Dry markets are quite similar to wet markets in terms of layout and pricing. Vendors in dry markets get supplies from local small stores in bulk and then place their own prices on the item.
