Honestly, one does not seem to run out of things to do while you’re at Petaling Street. There’s street art, multitudes of cultural sightings in the form of timely exhibits and music shows, and best of all, Malaysian food can be savoured in all of its glory. The real challenge, however, is finding a parking space to accommodate your day-long schedule of activities! (There are plenty of paid parking spaces nearby, fret not, and there’s also the LRT/MRT option, which is the best to beat traffic! Head to the Pasar Seni LRT/MRT station and take a five-minute walk).

The street, landmarked by its bustling, eponymous market, is swarming with people of all ages seeking great deals and street snacks. While the Petaling Street Market on Jalan Petaling is a haven for trendy goods, within the vicinity you can book a ticket to the arts and culture hub REXKL, as well as the cultural one-stop-centre that is the Central Market (Pasar Seni). A stone’s throw away stands Jalan Panggong, a hotspot with mushrooming modern cafes and eateries fit for kings of curiosity (and those who are hungry too!). If you’re walking around Petaling Street (aka Chinatown KL) and you’re thinking about drinks and sweets in between your sightseeing — ice kacangs, lattes, cakes and mochis, boy, do we have a list for you!
