1. About Kreneng Market

This market is called Pasar Kreneng because the market area is called Kreneng. Prof. Dr. Ida Bagus Mantra is the former Governor of Bali who built this traditional market in 1983. The market, which is only a 10-minute drive from Puputan Renon Square, has 805 traders in a three-story building and around 211 traders in the courtyard.

Balinese cultural expert, Sugi Lanus said there are at least three versions of the history of naming Kreneng Market. The first version, “Kreneng” comes from the word ‘Kereng Eneng’ which means often not getting water. In the past, this area was originally a rice field area that often did not get water, so it was rarely planted.

The second version states that Pasar Kreneng was a market relocation located at the T-junction of Surapati and Melati in 1963. This is different from the Cambodian Market which was moved from Lilabuana and is open every afternoon. The third version relates to the Kreneng Market which used to provide various kinds of kreneng, in Balinese it means a wrapping tool in the form of woven.
