Petaling Street Market

Strolling and eating in Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur. Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur is a must-visit place, and it is also a place where good and bad people mix. It was built in the 1850s by Chinese miners. In 1880, Malaysian Chinese Yap Ah Loy opened a cassava flour processing factory here. Because cassava is called "ci" in Cantonese, it was named "Petaling Street". After the factory closed in 1882, this place gradually developed into a vibrant Chinatown. Here you will have an illusion that you have returned to China. Chinese elements can be seen everywhere, including Chinese archways, buildings, and stalls. There are many Chinese shops selling all kinds of things, as well as gold shops, Chinese spices, local specialties, etc. At night, many stalls will be set up and it will be very crowded. There are all kinds of fruits at moderate prices. I also bought delicious soy milk and delicious ginger candy tofu. There are also rice noodle rolls and stuffed tofu, sugar-free pork porridge, braised duck, wonton noodles, etc. There are several famous food stores, such as the clay pot coffee and roast meat in Bihualou, Shengji clay pot, Xinjiuru beef noodles, Hejiu Hainanese tea shop, etc. Many stores have to queue up. I also met a beautiful woman taking pictures. I don’t know which country she is an internet celebrity or a star.

A trip to Kuala Lumpur isn’t complete without wandering through Petaling Street Market. Bustling with energy, it’s packed with street food, souvenirs, and hidden gems. I tried some delicious dim sum and grabbed a refreshing bubble tea while browsing the stalls. A lively spot for food and bargain hunting!

Living near China Town, I went shopping. The Petaling Street Market is China Town, Jalan Petaling is commonly known as Chinatown. Nowadays, most of the people hawking here are foreign workers, and the business scope includes clothing, shoes, hats, bags and other small commodities. You can bargain for the items you like. You can taste the local authentic snacks in the market. The famous night stalls are mostly concentrated in Jalan Hang Lekir and Jalan Sultan. The night is very lively and crowded. The emergence of the cultural street in the Petaling Street area has brought more art and historical atmosphere here. The old houses have been renovated into coffee shops, bars, theme restaurants, folk song restaurants, bookstores, tea houses, etc., which are the new features of Petaling Street. I felt hungry while walking, and saw a restaurant with barbecued pork, roasted meat, roasted chicken, and rice. The quantity was not much, so I ordered two servings.

Cichang Street is Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown, rich in the unique style of Chinese living areas. For foreigners, Cichang Street is a shopping paradise, for locals, she is more like a food paradise. In the evening, the night in Cichang Street is very noisy. There are two faces. One is an open-air seat dominated by foreigners. A whole row of tables are covered with red tablecloths. At 6 p.m., many foreigners leisurely place ice beer and side dishes, drink and chat, and watch the passers-by.

Chinatown has to go, but don't expect too much or you'll be disappointed. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from Independence Square to Chinatown. There are all hawkers in it. They sell almost the same things as our small commodity market. They are not recommended to buy. But the delicacies inside are good. The fried noodles in Fujian, Luohanguo and Guiyuan herbal tea in Jinlian's book are all good.
