About
Pasar Awam Taman Bagan is a farmers or artisan market in Penang. The market sits within Taman Bagan in Butterworth, at 13400 on the mainland side of the state, and serves the surrounding neighbourhood as a place to shop for daily provisions.
Stalls here carry fresh produce, household goods and the kind of everyday items that fill a local wet market. Trading runs daily from morning until early evening, so shoppers can call in before work or later in the afternoon.

George Town lies across the water for those travelling from the island side. Photographs of the market show the stalls and the setting.
Rice and noodles are staples in Malaysia, flavoured with sambal, coconut milk and belacan shrimp paste, and the market is where much of that shopping happens. Malaysia's population is largely Malay and Muslim, with large Chinese, Indian and indigenous Bornean communities, so a market visit rarely runs into a language barrier. Coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangroves grow around Malaysian islands, supporting turtles and reef fish. Ferries and speedboats link Penang to the mainland, with the airport on the island itself.
