Petaling Street is Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown bazaar, and you should go ready to haggle, pay cash, and navigate crowded, narrow lanes. Aim to visit in the evening when the stalls and street-food vendors are busiest, bring small bills, and start offers at about 30 to 50 percent of the sticker price for souvenirs and knockoff goods. Keep valuables secure and skip large backpacks, and when choosing food stick with busy stalls for fresher fare like roast duck, Hokkien mee and local desserts. If you want authentic crafts or electronics with a warranty, head to nearby malls instead, because many market items are cheap imitations.
