Petaling Street

Not much daylight left, maybe just one more stop before heading back to Puchong for dinner with my brother's family. Haven't seen his wife and kids for 3 years they must look different now especially the kids.

I decided that we should make a quick stop at Petaling Street or rather Chi Cheong Kai as how KL-nites would call it. For those who don't know, its basically a chinatown in KL infamous for pirated goods!

I can't remember the last time I was here, it was a long time ago before I went to Australia and much has changed. I see they provide shelter from the hot sun and rain too, great idea!

OK lah...it doesn't just sell pirated goods only lah, it is also a place to come for great foods. Tourists as well as the locals frequent here for their super cheap stuff. I bought myself a Rayban sunglass for RM18 nia. Yeah maybe I can get even cheaper but the guy has to make a living also mah!

I saw a lot of stalls selling roasted chestnut, smell nice but the fume made me sneezed like crazy coz I had a runny nose. Didn't get any coz we're saving our appetites for dinner later.

But maybe we could've had dinner here instead...look at that big crab, mmm...yum. But no we can't coz we have to meet the kids and their mother so have to abandon this place. Time to go.

Aiks! The ugly side of Petaling Street where the parking lot is. A bit of cleanliness doesn't hurt anyone, in fact it might bring more people here. Just a suggestion.
