Pasar Karat Ipoh, popularly known as Memory Lane or Loken, is Ipoh’s vibrant Sunday flea market, operating in the city center on Jalan Horley. This open-air market transforms the area into a treasure trove for collectors and bargain hunters alike, evoking a strong sense of nostalgia.
It primarily deals in antiques, vintage items, and second-hand goods—hence the name Pasar Karat (Rusty Market). Visitors can spend hours browsing an eclectic assortment of items, including old furniture, classic electronics, vintage clothing, antique coins, toys from bygone eras, and even old car parts.
Beyond the collectibles, the market is also a great spot to sample local street food, with vendors offering unique Ipoh delicacies. To get the best finds and avoid the intense midday heat, it is highly recommended to arrive early, ideally between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM. Remember to bring cash and practice your bargaining skills, as negotiation is a common part of the Memory Lane experience. It’s a lively cultural immersion and a must-visit for those seeking unique souvenirs or a walk down memory lane.
