If you are looking for Chinatown in KL then look no further than Petaling street. This is where it began. There are many reasons why one would go to Chinatown in many cities in the world including admiring the art, culture and traditions. Buying Chinese food products including bakkwa, my brother’s favourite, a similar product to jerky. Many Chinese cuisines available here and some of the earliest restaurant for eg Hainanese chicken rice was right here and still here right now. The copies or fake designer bags, shoes, watches can be bought in the street market opening times 9am to 10pm. Practice your bargaining skills; mine is to walk away.

China Town Market or Petaling Street Market. Many narrow roads and alleys having hundreds of shops and stalls. Many stray sellers with artificial watches. This is the only place I found sugar cane juice in Malaysia. Do not forget to bargain

Good fun, haggling expected and all very well spirited and tourist friendly. Lots of good quality replica bags/clothes/watches etc especially if you ask specifically for best quality and they understand you mean ‘best’. If I was travelling alone I would prefer visiting the markets during the day as it’s a bit of a maze in the backstreets and easy to get lost, especially if you don’t have a good map or internet activity on your phone.

Always a fun place to visit. I love the atmosphere at night and went around 6pm. Must try some of the street food whilst there - it is amazing! For goods make sure you bargain/barter hard. We started just above half the asking price. Be aware that it’s often hard to get a grab or taxi home at night / closing from here.

Full of sellers, stalls of snacks, copy of big brands sneakers 👟 or watches or perfumes and a lot of food in parallel streets. We gave up going through whole Petaling street and found restaurant instead. If you would like to buy some copies then negotiate hard.

great place to visit. not my kinda shopping. but lots of fun bargaining. must walk around and buy one thing or two. gotta visit the durian place in the area!

We visited the much-hyped Petaling street markets in February 2024. Overall, we found this to be quite average and to be honest - disappointing. Prices are nothing special when compared to even somewhere like Sungei Wang Plaza. An definitely not cheaper than Vietnam or even Thailand. Worth a visit to make your own opinion but we weren't overwhelmed.

There is a lot of good food with very fair price. The night market sell made in china fake brand such as Gucci LV etc but be carefull with the price. You must bargain the price almost 40-50% from opening price. Better you check the price in online shop before you bargain so you have a figure price.

Very busy and cramped market at times can get very hot, lots of fake bags and watches sunglasses to buy, haggle there try there luck and do come down eventually nearly to half price of what originally they say. Lots of food places inside and main street outside sellers not to pushy, but do keep asking you to come in there stall. Taxis is easily available outside on main street, would visit again just for the food and atmosphere

We visited Petaling Street Chinatown on a Saturday afternoon. It was not as crowded as expected. The usual imitation goods were on sale and these brands included Nike, Adidas, Prada, Christian Dior, YSL, etc. prices tend to drop when you start walking away, sometimes significantly. There are also nice street food as well as the famed soya bean and mata kuching drinks stalls. Do visit this place if you have time to soak in the atmosphere.
