Was there during the school holiday...but during a weekend.
Pasar malam was on throughout the holiday and only on weekends if during normal time.
I stayed at an apartment by ChuaGin hotel....not too bad....but some room facing the karaoke is a little noisy....
If you want to have nice steamboat.....let me intro you to one....the shop is behind the row of shops facing the main brinchang road...and its call Highland restaurant. The food is fresh, not so much of balls but more ori food, like chicken slices, prawns, pork.....and lots of vege....

There is a restaurant "Highland Steamboat" I like to go there. Its behind The main road at Brincang. After SHell station (on the left) get ready to turn left. The shop house is behind the main brincang road.
