Pasar Seni and Petaling Street

Pasar Seni, or the 122-year old Central Market of Kuala Lumpur. We think this is the best place to get KL souvenirs and trinkets at a bargain.


















We also ate here before, during our '5 countries' trip. Good food at a good price.


































































Petaling Street - Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown. There were a number of hotels in this area as well catering to backpackers. Might try staying in this area next time. Lots of stalls selling food, clothes, and accessories. Also a lot of people selling pirated cds and dvds.

Central Market

One of the tourist attractions in Kuala Lumpur is the Central Market - also called Pasar Seni or Pasar Budaya. It's a great place to get some souvenirs and is very near Petaling Street.

Had fun looking at the souvenirs, but couldn't buy so much as we are trying to travel light. I just got some magnets for my collection, and D bought little paintings for his. The entrance to Central Market:














Had a light snack of Wok Kuey Teow Goreng and some White coffee..














It was shockingly hot and humid today so had to make it a point to consume a lot of liquids and to have snacks in between our destinations. We only had today to spend in KL so we tried our best to maximize our time and energy.

Hey! We were hungry from the heat and all that walking! ;)
