Chinatown @ Kuala Lumpur
November 28th, 2008
Petaling Street or commonly known by local as Chi-Cheong-Kai is a Chinatown located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is infamous for pirated clothes and accessories along with bootleg DVDs and CDs. Petaling Street however does not exclusively offer pirated products. Haggling is a common sight here and the place is usually crowded with locals as well as tourists.
On the first night of our arrival in KL, we made an courtesy
visit to Petaling Street to scout for local Chinese food. We spotted alot of restaurants that are still running in pre-war buildings and alongside there are several stalls selling food, fruits, flowers and many more.A stall which is operating in front of an “Double A” photocopy shop interest us with their signboard which wrote “Famous Claypot Rice”. We decided to have a try there and here what we ordered:
Famous Claypot Rice.
This hawker stall sell cook-on-the-grill fish with fancy names such as “France” Fish, “Spanish” Fish and etc. We settled with Spanish Fish. It was spicy & sour. The fish was so tenderly and soft. I highly recommend this dish to those who like spicy food.
We had a nice food dining in a “pre-historic” environment while enjoying the sight of busy traders promoting their counterfeit goods.
