You’ll find KL’s Chinatown centered on Petaling Street, a covered, bustling market that comes alive in the late afternoon and evening when hawker stalls and night vendors open. Bring small change and be ready to haggle for souvenirs and clothes, as many items are tourist-priced or obvious knockoffs; starting 30 to 50 percent below the asking price is normal. Focus on busy food stalls for local bites like Hokkien mee, roast duck and dim sum, keep valuables in a front pocket because it gets very crowded, and wear comfortable shoes for the narrow lanes. It’s an easy hop from Pasar Seni LRT and sits next to Central Market and Sri Mahamariamman Temple if you want a quick culture stop.
