Malaysia also has morning markets, but that's just your typical "buy your fresh produce" market. Grab the eggs, chicken, fresh veggies, fruit, and then I'm out. My bags are usually so heavy I don't linger long to look at anything else.
Penang has a day-time market (unheard of!) that takes place in Georgetown on the last Sunday of every month. I would consider it more of an "arts and crafts" fair. It reminded me of a farmer's market back home, except that nobody sold produce. It's fun to "go local" and see what trinkets and gadgets people come up with here on the island.

This is the "Beatrix Potter and the Dutchess of Cambridge" table. |
The market was right across the street from the historic Eastern & Oriental (E&O) Hotel (est. 1885), so we popped in to wander the grounds. I love old colonial style architecture.
