Petaling Street Kuala Lumpur

This is China Town center

and the street comes to life when the sun disappears. Flimsy shakes are set up by sticking some pipes together and pull some plastic over the top. Petaling Street Kuala Lumpur is the area in Malaysia where all "fake items" from China, Thailand and other places are on display and sale. Its more or less like Bangkok Patpong without the go-go bars. Its a ideal place to enjoy the busy atmosphere with a Chinese energy aura. Since most of the items on sale are illegal and police raids often the vendors became very organized.

Many of them carry walky talky and lookouts are at the entrance to KL Petaling Street, they give alarm when something which looks like police is spotted and within seconds everything is hidden in troves and locked up, a continuous cat and mouse game.

Along the street are shops and Petaling street hotels the Petaling street market is pulled up. The street and side roads transforms into a bustling somehow chaotic night market, with plenty of restaurants and food courts.

Maybe the best location for dinner

are the open air restaurants at Chinatown in front of the food courts, just the right place for a exotic dinner. The food centers offer plenty of exotic dishes and the chance to have stomach problems afterwards are rather slim.

Big beer bottles, 0.6L are available and rather moderately priced and before and / after shopping is on the agenda. Probably the most interesting shopping destination in the whole city is Kuala Lumpur Central Market close by, open during daytime only. A incredible array of exotic local and imported goods from various places in the orient is available including several restaurants.

There is merchandize from Malaysia, India, China, Indonesia, Thailand and other places. Upstairs is a great precious stones, jewelry and jade shop, this place is one of the few in KL to buy excellent quality jade items.

There is another shop downstairs having some old blue / white ceramics uncovered when they excavated some of the sunken freight vessels off the Malaysian coast a couple of years ago.

Near the main entrance is a beautiful shop full with exquisite Indian goods, it virtually smells like the orient. Actually there are three great
