Do you know someone who has been to Malaysia? Ask them about Petaling Street. They will definitely recommend you if you love to be on a shopping spree. It is truly a shopper’s heaven, despite being in a different league in comparison to its more vivid and glorious arch-rivals, KLCC and Bukit Bintang. It is a well-known shopping paradise. At night time, the whole area turns into a vivid and lively market when hundreds of vendors start selling all items at very cheap prices. So, it becomes the most happening place in the city after dark.
Petaling Street is loaded with stalls and shops offering foods and souvenirs. Beware; the whole street is usually full of fake branded products, ironically. So, look out for a sign board which warns against imitation items. You just name it, they can present you all, whether it is watch, handbag, clothing or trainers. You may even get latest blockbusters at just RM 10 for each. When it comes to brands, you may find Louis Vuitton along with Rolex. If you are on a shoestring budget looking for cheap but the best branded items, you must stop by Petaling Street. It has both variety and value for money. If you are good at bargaining, prices can be whittled down even more.
Petaling Street has no lack of opportunities to taste exotic and delightful dishes. You can also enjoy delightful dishes at seafood and Chinese restaurants in every corner. You may also find stalls selling different snacks along the street. Hence, air is usually filled with great blend of aroma which is literally not easy to resist. Most of the stalls remain open until late night and some even stay open until five by the morning. It is one of the best things about these stalls. Be sure to head to Chinatown Dining to try some best food in Petaling Street and Malaysia Kuala Lumpur City Tour.
When it comes to shop in Petaling Street, bargaining is the best way. Vendors usually ask 15% to 35% higher than the actual cost, especially from tourists. Be sure to hone your bargaining skills before getting there. Also watch out what you are wearing. If you look too stylish and seems like you are rich, some vendors won’t leave this opportunity to charge up to double or triple the actual cost. So, dress as simple as possible.
