On weekends, Dataran Bagan Datuk transforms from a quiet coastal plaza into a vibrant hub of activity, laughter, and local flavour. Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or solo, this is the place where you'll truly feel the town's heartbeat.
One of the highlights for visitors—especially those with kids—is the chance to rent & ride electric scooters across the spacious open square. These scooters, available for both children and adults, add a fun and modern twist to an evening out, letting you cruise through the cool breeze while soaking in the sunset.
As the sun sets, the atmosphere shifts as the night market opens, offering a colourful mix of street food, handmade crafts, and local goodies. It’s a great way to meet friendly locals, sample authentic Perak snacks, and shop for small souvenirs. In the mornings, the weekend morning market adds to the charm, with bustling stalls selling fresh produce, breakfast bites, and daily essentials
But perhaps the crown jewel of Dataran Bagan Datuk’s weekend scene is the famous Soto Bagan Datuk. Only available on weekends, this deliciously spiced broth with tender chicken, vermicelli, and fragrant herbs is a local delicacy that draws both residents and tourists alike. It’s warm, satisfying, and packed with flavour—don’t leave without trying it!
Whether you're looking to eat, play, shop, or simply unwind, Dataran Bagan Datuk on weekends offers a wholesome, authentic experience that showcases the town’s spirit and community warmth.
