Malaysian islands have an equatorial climate with high humidity and rain falling throughout the year, so mornings are often the driest time to visit a market. Malaysian food combines Malay, Chinese and Indian cooking, with dishes such as nasi lemak, laksa and roti canai, and the market's stalls reflect that mix. Coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangroves grow around Malaysian islands, supporting turtles and reef fish. Motorbikes, taxis and rental cars are the usual ways to get around on Malaysian islands. Five photos on the listing show the market.
