With almost three streets connecting the Taman Impian Emas Pasar Malam, the Taman Impian Pasar Malam is probably one of the least crowded of all the night markets in Johor Bahru. Wide walkways and well-shaded paths make the night market an enhanced night market experience for many.
In this gem of a pasar malam, many delightful dishes that you cannot normally find in usual pasar malams can be found here. One of them is the salt-baked BBQ Crabs.
Firstly, an oven-filled with salt prepares the crabs by infusing savory marinade to the meat of the crab. The crabs are then sautéed over a rich flame of charcoal grill to a perfect luscious red color.

The deep fried chicken is a crowd-puller that keeps the crowd coming back for more. The secret is in the marinade and the usage of fresh chickens that are not frozen.
