Exploring the KSL Night Market in Xinshan, Malaysia
Rui Ji, a vlogger who recently moved to Malaysia, explores the KSL Night Market in Xinshan, a popular night market recommended by her viewers. She compares it to the night markets in Taiwan and shares her experience, including the food, the atmosphere, and the overall convenience.
Introduction to KSL Night Market
The KSL Night Market is located opposite the KSL Mall in Xinshan. What makes it unique is its operating hours: it's only open one night a week, specifically on weekdays, from 5 pm to 10 pm. This was Rui Ji's first time visiting, and she was eager to discover what delicious food and interesting items were available.
First Impressions and Food Exploration
Upon arrival, Rui Ji noted the abundance of food stalls. She highlighted the variety of options, including:
-
Sweet and sour pork (which she found filling)
-
Shrimp and vegetable pancakes
-
A whole roast duck
-
Fried noodles
-
Fruits like guava and mango
-
Taiwanese snacks like albambalic (peanut and corn flavor)
She purchased the albambalic for NT$1.80. She also spotted catnip for sale and various cookies resembling those found in Tainan, Taiwan. The roast duck and steamed corn also caught her eye. Later, she tried tofu water (without sugar) to quench her thirst in the heat.
Market Layout and Ambiance
Rui Ji quickly realized that the KSL Night Market is structured as a long, straight road, unlike the more expansive and sectioned-off night markets common in Taiwan. She noted the crowded conditions and the intense heat.
Food Review and Inside Dining
After purchasing several items, including shrimp cake, she decided to eat inside the KSL mall due to the heat. She described the shrimp cake as crispy, fragrant, and not overly starchy, with noticeable shrimp tail pieces. She also purchased dim sum (salted egg and shrimp varieties) and a "mala cake". The dim sum was cheap but good with thin skin and firm meat. She described the mala cake as fluffy and not too sweet, especially good for only NT$2. She also tried Oda Oda (fish and shrimp), noting its spiciness and smoky flavor.
Final Thoughts and Total Cost
Rui Ji calculated that she spent only 19.6 yuan (approximately NT$85 or $3 USD) and was very full. She liked the food but considered the heat and traffic congestion to be significant drawbacks. She noted the traffic was bad due to it being only one road. Despite these issues, she found the food delicious and affordable and suggested that others might enjoy the experience if they are willing to deal with the crowds and heat.
Call to Action
Rui Ji ended the video by asking viewers to recommend other delicious dishes at the KSL Night Market or suggest other night markets in Xinshan that she should visit.
