Petaling Street
Published by Coconutkun under Traveling on 7/13/2009 09:58:00 PMOk, let's not scare everyone with all the temples and stuff..cos this blog isnt about religion..its about travel and food...Petaling Street..never have i been here so early in the morning..just look at the street..so little people..Well, Petaling street has always been a Night kinda street..Morning is the least, afternoon gets a little more crowded and at night, super squeezy...Night's the time where all the stalls come out..you name it..Gucci bags, Rolexes, Perfumes, DVDs, printed Ts of any sorts (ori or not, that's another question)..@ Petaling street, the first thing youve gotta know is to bargain..or else, dont buy..and my definition of bargain is bringing the price down to as low as 40-70% down (depends on the items la)..no kidding..Other than that, from young, we were told to watch out wallets and valuables whenever we go jalan2 here..There are pick pockets..anyway, which Chinatown in any country wouldnt have pick pockets..
From my perspective, id classify Petaling street into 3 parts..First is their main street.. this is where youll find all your Rolexes and stuff like that that i mentioned..Its also the place where u can find great mua ci (ma ji as seen in pic)..large siew bao....roast duck and siew yuk...and great air mata kucing and soy bean drinks too..Id recommend you guys to try their mua ci, so go and seek for this stall..Unlike the typical ones that come in only the original flavour, which is no flavour, this one has 6 flavours to choose from.And unlike those that sell other flavours other than the original, i think this wan is nicer that those..LOL..What makes this one so popular is because of its texture..its extra chewy.."dont ever put your muaci in the fridge!", the auntie advises..
The second part of Petaling street is there their wet market/morning market which opens in the morning; its tucked somewhere around the corner (just ur typical wet morning market..except they sell weird stuff like cat meat...urghh...and the market is abit "dark" too..din take picture of the wet market cos nothing nice to snap)...and the third would be the Hawker street seen here at the last pic...this hawker street is famous for their yong tau fu..assam laksa and curry mee..Super recommended cos i fell in love with these three dishes here..except this place is very crowded and youre practically eating by the side of the drain..not a good place for a date if you know what i mean..
