Wanna shop for clothes, food stuff, snacks, sweets or any local stuff in Alor Setar???
Welcome to Pekan Rabu @ Wednesday Market.
Why a Wednesday market? Apparently, in 1920 it only opens on Wednesdays only. And in those days, 4-floor complex was just a market with palm leaves as its roof. Today it is a 4-storey complex, a must-visit place, and opens daily. It is located right downtown and you can literally get everything there, from batiks to food. Every stall sells similar stuff but it is still an interesting place to visit. The people there are nice and friendly.
Ground floor has a food court and the boutiques sell clothing and batik.
First floor has more clothing boutiques.
Second floor has all the edible stuff; snacks, kuehs and sweets. Some even make their kuehs right there in their shop. They always welcome a good chat.
Third floor offers all food stuff from dried prawns to fermented fish.
Snacks and biscuits

Kuih Bunga Pudak
It is crispy and filled with grated coconut. It is named after the "Pudak" tree and it is Kedah's specialty kueh. Endangered, I called it.
