Street Market / Flea Market in Kuala Lumpur

Chinatown’s Petaling Street is one of KL’s popular tourist destinations. This is the place for you to shop for anything from t-shirts, souvenirs, shoes, bags and perfumes. There are a great selection of Chinese food to eat here at Chinatown. So, be sure to visit Petaling Street with an empty stomach.

Well, I am truely impress with the amount of food stalls that OUG pasar Malam have to offer and there are much more. Will come back again for another round before hitting to Taman Connought next round.

Apam balik – crispy peanut and corn-filled pastries. You have to eat these on the street as the thin pastry crumbles all over!

A fan of wet markets, I was most eager to explore the Dato’ Keramat Wet Market when I realized its close proximity to the Dato’ Keramat LRT. This wet market happens to be one of the oldest Malay markets in the Klang Valley and though there had been efforts to shift them to the nearby Keramat Mall, the proprietors have stayed put. Serving the Kampung Datuk Keramat as well as enclosed areas, the market is fantastic for good variety of cheap, local cooking ingredients. Imported greens such as broccoli and asparagus were rare, but every vegetable stall would have an array of over 10 types of ulam (raw herbs and greens). The poultry, beef and seafood displayed were fresh too.

Among the dozens of food stalls in the night market, the one that sells pandan apam balik is the most eye-catching. The apam balik sold at this stall is the thick and chewy kind but with a twist. Besides adding an extra layer of pandan flavored batter into the pancake, the uncle also coats it with black and white sesame.

Savoury sago cakes - MYR2.80 nett for 1 pack with 2 cakes in it. There are two types for me to select - 1. chye poh (perserved vege) with dried shrimps (hay bee) and 2. Spicy sambal and I bought one pack each. This is the one with chye poh (perserved vege) with dried shrimps (hay bee). The taste is perfect. My siblings like it and praise that it is very well-made.
