I don't like to go to Chinatown in KL but I went to there. It is full of mess up and you have to be careful to buy a product. All branded duplicate products you can buy over there including pirated movies. You have to bargain the products and they will try to convenience you. E.g most of my Australia... more

Chinatown has the best local foods, even their locals goes here! The night markets is rather happening with cheap steals, however as many different stalls that sells the same wares actually belongs to one sme boss, these different stalls actually communicate through walkie talkie, thus as you tried to bargain for the same piece of item with different stalls they... more

A good place for street shopping, mainly for fake watches, bags, telescope, binocular and some basic gadgets. The downside of the place is some of the shop keepers are bit rough and cannot take the thing easily if you don't buy after asking price for something. And always bargain hard otherwise you can end up buying something by double even... more

Having been to the Hong Kong markets before I was looking forward in having a look at these markets and I was not disapointed. There are plenty of bargains to be found, great copies of named brand sunglasses, bags, jeans, belts, t-shirts etc. A cab fare from the centre of KL should cost no more than 20RM, I negotiated most... more

We have been to a view "chinatown's" around the World and had enjoyed all of them, until we visited the one in KL. We went by taxi, which took forever as the traffic was the worst I had ever seen in that area during early evening. Upon arrival we were instantly hit by a constant barrage of "buy this, buy... more

Good break from the hot weather there. In Chinatown you can see their local chinese food products - like bah kwa (bbq sliced chicken/pork) and other like tao sao... more

Our best shopping experiences were at Petaling St, Chinatown. Again we read negatives but if you have fun, barter friendly and meet midway then you'll have a blast as we did. I was a bit hesitant because all I kept reading was how rude the stall holders were but we only met friendly funny guys. We would have a laugh... more

The pace of KL's Chinatown builds throughout the day and really picks up after 4 p.m., when the day's heat breaks and the night hawkers come out with their portable stands selling clothing, watches and souvenirs. It's a good place to find cheap eats. more

Pitch up on the Terrace of the Petaling Cafe (Swiss Inn Hotel) and watch the world go by. If you're sitting there you won't be hassled by the market traders, pushing their hookey gear. From a fake Rolex to a faux Chelsea shirt, you can get it there for next to nothing.... Get a a tower of Carlsberg, maybe some... more
