About Petaling Street

If you enjoy a good bargain, then be sure to add this attraction to your bucket list of places to visit in Malaysia, Petaling Street is a mini Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur. Here, one can expect to find anything from counterfeit designer bags to jackfruit! It is no wonder that locals and tourists alike make a beeline for this market. Always jam-packed with traders selling their wares squeezing through the crowds trying to find the best deals might seem dizzying at first, so to avoid that it's better to visit the market in the afternoon when the crowd is more spaced out. Haggling is a common way of life here! Enjoy a day of striking good bargains and filling your shopping bags with goodies. You can take a break along the way to refuel at any of the many eateries in the market serving up local favourites made from some of the freshest produce, get your taste-buds tickling and asking for more when you order Ikan Bakar, Hokkien mee, curry noodles, and asam laksa. The plethora of items hides some truly innovative creations great for organizing household items and where all things shiny might distract you, remember to give these little trinkets a glance. All in all a day well spent at the market is the best way to complete your trip to the country.
