I went to Petaling Street to have my window shopping for a Christmas display for the house. I have no plan to buy just to see what is nice, so I will have some idea. Just nice that the place is near to MRT train station, so just walk and have a chance to see the beauty around. I can see that many things are selling; everything is available, and the Hindu temple and the Chinese temple are situated just opposite each other. And there are so many tourists who are amazed of the beauty and the unique appearance of each temple.
Petaling Street, also known as Chinatown in the middle of Kuala Lumpur, is a busy area and popular for food, shopping, and bargaining. It has many traders from different backgrounds and is famous for its local dishes. Historically, it was a key part of the city’s growth, especially during the tin mining era. Yap Ah Loy, a Chinese leader, helped rebuild the area after the civil war and opened a tapioca mill there. The street is also known as “Starch Factory Street” in Cantonese.
After my window shopping really I was really satisfied with my walk around Chinatown, and the weather was hot so I went to Kotaraya Complex its just opposite the Petaling Street, this complex is a Filipino place to go when we need all kind of filipino things and filipino restaurant is also a lot here so I decided to have a halo halo and had rice bangus fish dinuguan for my lunch.
