Jalan Petaling, Kuala Lumpur: In the heart of Chinatown

by hopang

Jalan Petaling is located in the heart of Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur. The street is basically a brightly-lit make-shift night market dealing in wide range of household items ranging from cosmetics, watches which may be imitation and costume jewelleries to budget clothings, textiles and leather goods at bargain prices. The street is closed to vehicular traffic at night.Jalan Petaling and the surrounding areas are usually very crowded at night, during the weekends and eves of the public holidays. For those who are hungry and thirsty Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown is never short of eateries. Open-air cafés by the roadside are very popular with foreign tourists needing a beer or two to quench the thirst in hot humid Kuala Lumpur! Prices are comparatively cheap too even if the area is a popular tourist destination and attraction!

Jonker Walk, Melaka: Open-air night markets

by hopang

Jonker Walk is located at Jonker Street (known as Jalan Hang Jebat) right in the heart of Melaka's Chinatown in the historic city of Melaka. It is a narrow street with some of Melaka's oldest houses dating back to 17th century when Dutch conquored Melaka. Jonker Street is formerly known as Antique Street due to the many antique stores around the area selling ancient artifacts and various antiques from the past centuries. Jonker is a Dutch word which literally means master. Jonker Street is an ideal location to hunt and bargain for antiques and ancient artifacts.Jonker Walk was established in the year 2000 by Melaka State Government to boost the influx of foreign tourists to Melaka city. During the weekends from Friday to Sunday nights between 7.00 p.m. and 12.00 mignight, the whole street is closed to vehicular traffic and the street transforms into large open-air night markets. Wide...

We treated ourselves to an evening of Chinese culture at the Foot Look Restaurant. The Chinese Opera was entertaining if not somewhat confusing. The dinner served was excellent and after the show we were encouraged to pose with the cast. Smart Casual

Jalan Alor Setar: Fabulous food but not western prices

by sniktar

Jalan Alor Setar provides the BEST fish meals in KL! A few ringgit per meal, ie about £1. I have never tasted food like it in ALL my travels.If you fancy a local delicacy, try Port Klang riverside restaurants where they serve 'marmite crab'. OK, if you don't like 'marmite' forget it! Marmite crab is local, fresh, and delicious.Ritz-Carlton in KL used to do the most fantastic Champagne Brunch on Sundays. If they still do this - try it - as you could probably never afford it in any other country!!!!!Bangsar is THE place to be if you want to be out of city centre!!! All casual dress, but Ritz Carlton is smart casual , well ... VERY smart (but still casual)!

Reggae Bar in Kuala Lumpur: Reggae and Cocktails

by Rhii

Just around the corner of Petaling Street is the Reggae Bar of Kuala Lumpur. Good cocktails, great fun, GREAT music. A great place to meet other travellers or just chat with the firendly bar-staff. One of the walls in there is even saved for traveller scrawl. Its also in a really good location for backpackers as many of the hostels are around the China Town area - we stayed in the Backpackers Traveller Inn - basic but colourful! No dress code - but, as its a Muslim country, its disrespectful to show too much skin - I wore sarong trousers and a strap top.

Alcoholic drinks (Malaysian Beers): Alcoholic drinks (Malaysian Beers)

by l_joo

Please remember the government of Malaysia is very sensitive with alcoholic drinks, alcohol=BAD, no no sir, Malaysia will not offer any National Beers to tourists. But we import lot, we can offer the #1 selling Danish Carlsberg, Irish Guinness, Dutch Heineken, Singaporean Tiger, American Budweiser and etc. Budget tourists can go for cheap beer, there are some Thailand's Chang, Singha, LEO or TsingDao from China and many more. There is a KickBeer & TopBeer imported from Germany but considered as local brand, this is probably our domestic brand of alcoholic drinks. (picture) is an Indonesian exported beer, cost Rm3.60 per can (price for April 2006). Imported cigarettes Salem pack of 14 cost Rm3.90 (also price for April 2006) Malaysian Tuak This drink is extremely unpopular in any modern city of Malaysia because of it's way of presentation, brand-less and low cost, nightlifer prefer...

Pasar Malam: Pasar Malam

by l_joo

Pasar Malam is Malay word Night Market, pronounce Paasaar Maalaam, please do not pronounce Payser Maylem. Pasar Malam is local peoples' way of nightlife since long time ago. The way of Pasar Malam is to have a place at night selling all sorts of daily products including fish, meat, vegetables, cattles, etc. Pasar Malam is open to anyone free entrance and the best is anyone can join in to sell whatever they have. You tourists want to join to sell your old backpack, boots etc, this is the place.Pasar Malam is not so popular among modern trendy youngsters probably it look too old fashion and cheap, not suitbale to parade LV Gucci Prada Dior Armani etc. Pasar Malam is however still exist in most of Malaysia. Tourists should learn how to get to Pasar Malam, a good place to take photos etc. Visiting Pasar Malam is to experience the way of life of Malaysia at night. I suggest tourists to look...

Karaoke and Bar: Insomnia ?

by gnh

Karaoke parlours are very popular activities in Malaysia, especially in the towns and cities.There aren't actually many other nice things to do. Some night clubs, some pubs, some massage parlours ( though not so blatant as in Thailand ). Even though Malaysia is mostly Islamic, much is tolerated, for the sake of the mighty dollar ! Anything goes, though no nudity allowed !Malaysia isn't THAT liberal !Better to dress modestly at all times.If you see outrageous dressing, better not envy nor try to copy them ! They are usually youngsters who don't really seem to know wise from foolish .
