Chamorro Night Market

　　   Introduction
　　   The Chamorro Night Market is situated in the busy GARAPAN central district. When night falls, the area is lit up with red lanterns and fragrant with delicious scents, turning it into a food lover’s paradise. Here you can sample almost all the flavors of the Pacific region: Filipino, Japanese, Malay, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, and Thai.        Of course, the most distinctive offerings are the various uniquely shaped traditional local dishes, such as roast suckling pig, sashimi, and coconut shrimp. Among them, Apiqiqi is a must-try — it’s a sweet dessert made from glutinous rice flour wrapped in plant leaves, with shredded coconut added during preparation, resulting in a mildly sweet and smooth texture. On the small plaza of the market, graceful indigenous women also perform grass skirt dances with a distinctly Micronesian flair, offering quite a visual treat that could be described as a feast for the eyes.
