Why Chinatown - Kuala Lumpur is special ?
The Petaling Street (Chinatown) in Kuala Lumpur is like the Bukit Bintang of the older part of Kuala Lumpur. It is a place where the hustling and bustling never comes to an end. Day or night, visitors keep coming to Petaling Street to either dine on the famous street foods here or to get some good bargains on things sold here. Petaling Street is the shoppers' paradise if you want to bargain your way to some cheap things. There is almost everything here from clothes, souvenirs to electronic items to fabrics. Other than cheap stuff, Petaling Street is renowned for selling imitation goods like handbags, wallets, watches and shoes from brands like Adidas, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, Nike and so on. Food here is also aplenty.
What to explore at Chinatown - Kuala Lumpur?
Chinatown is also a well-known bargain hunter’s paradise, a place where you can find all sorts of stuff from Chinese herbs to imitation goods.
At night, its main market area, Petaling Street, transforms into a lively and vibrant night market, filled with hundreds of stalls offering all kinds of goods at dirt-cheap prices, and the best thing is, the prices can be brought lower still as haggling is the way of life here
At the Central Market is also the place you can get great souvenirs which are all locally made such as kebaya, batik, songket and handicrafts.
Most of the shops here are the little stalls but many locals claim that at these stalls are where the best street foods can be found. A famous delicacy in Petaling Street is the salted roast duck which is sold at a mobile stall- the stall is built on a motorcycle.

Reviews
The original Chinatown centered on Market Square. Jalan Tun H.S. Lee or High Street, became increasingly popular as it was higher than the rest of the town and therefore less prone to floods.
Flea Market.The area has dozens of restaurants and food stalls, serving local favourites such as Hokkien mee, ikan bakar (barbecued fish), asam laksa and curry noodles.
Try the ikan bakar that will blow off Ur head!! Delicious with spicy spicy and spicy!!! Along hong Leong bank!!
Cultural. Good accessories. Make sure you bargain when buying there. People call out to you when walking past to buy their product. Good if you want original fakes. Similar stock sold in many stalls.
be careful of too much crowed at night, but generally people very friendly, must bargain, not to eat on street, not take away, very cheep, but nothing is original
KL's chinatown has the best atmosphere of all the same same Chinatowns that we visited across SEA. The prices are higher than elsewhere although that is to be expected in a more affluent city. The food around the place is brilliant, especially in the little indian food court and the pick and mix kebab stall we found at one of the entrances to the market.
