| coolashish's Full Review: Kuala Lumpur |
Petaling Street-known as Chinatown- is endowed with a distinct character of its very own.There is loud blaring music,colourful shops,hawker stalls,restaurants,coffee shops and itinerant peddlers in this vibrant,bustling,exotic street.Flanking both sides of Petaling Street -which is known as Chee Cheong Kai in Cantonese-are shops selling everything from textiles, flowers,crafts,shoes,clothes,watches,CDs, and traditional Chinese medicines.
Seemingly unaffected by the growth of one stop,plush,air conditioned,shopping centres in Kuala Lumpur,Chinatown has held its ground and remains a popular hunting ground.Its also a paradise for tasty but inexpensive Chinese food. You will find Cantonese,Hainanese and Hokkien dishes here in this city within a city and at prices that will amaze you.Budget travellers staying nearby can often eat dinner for little more than a pound sterling and that cant be bad.
