Central Market - Malay Street

Meet few friends from different country and feel like to get them some of the

Malaysian products as a souvenir such as handicrafts, batik, art, kebaya, songket or other.

Where should I get all these Malaysian vain products.

Central Market is a one of the top shopping center for Malaysian products

and the wide variety of Malaysian cuisine and couture.

Central Market is located at Jalan Hang Kasturi, a few minutes away from Petaling Street.

It was found in 1888 and originally used as a wet market,

while the current building was completed in 1937.

It has since been classified as a Heritage Site by the Malaysian Heritage Society

and it is now a landmark for Malaysian culture and heritage.

The colourful Malaysian Traditional Cultural and Arts events are

presented at the Central Market Outdoor Stage.

Central Market celebrates all the Traditional Festivals of each race in Malaysia, example,

Hari Raya Festival, Chinese New Year Festival, Deepavali Festival, Punjabi Festival and lots more.

Besides that, Central Market supports the local contemporary arts such as Art Exhibition,

Video Screening, Independent Music Concert and lots more in The Annexe Gallery.

One of the three shopping streets on the ground floor of the popular Central Market,

Lorong Melayu (Malay Street).Which is the street that I like it really much.

I enjoy and feel so good when walking in the street. I love Malay couture.

Malay Street full of little shops specializing in local handicrafts and products.

Colorful batik fabrics, unique shadow puppets, buffalo skin kites,

beaded jewelry and woven bamboo baskets are all found in the street.

and not to forget some stores like Sabah to shop for hand, carved wooden masks and souvenir blow,

guns made by the aboriginal people of Malaysian Borneo.

The Central Market is also a great place for an introduction to other facets

of Malay culture like fashion, dance, and music.

Dance Aloha! We required to wear on the flower wreath and say Aloha!

This is the ever first store that owned by both Chinese that I saw in Malay Street.

They are just so friendly and kind to everyone that visited their shop.

It’s really a different Central Market with a fresher and brighter feel,
every Malaysian should know and feel about it, and a really great place to experience for tourists.

Lorong Melayu ( Malay Street) is to denote all things Malay sold along this lane, and so forth.

Proper signs have been put up at the start of each street with respective

custom made so that to enhance the character of each thing.

China arts is in Malay Street too. Awesome!

She told and taught us that the hand sign of "six" means Aloha! =D

Awesome experiences as a Malaysian that I should have it I got it here.

I just simple love this place!

Central Market is a proposed exercise to give,

a building with a 120 years history a new identity to attract younger generations

to appreciate the need for racial tolerance and the need for racial integration.

As we all know, Central Market is a historic landmark of Kuala Lumpur and

there is no other better place to remind the younger generations of the

Malaysian Culture that has been so entrenched that people of all races can come

together to live in peace and harmony.

I just simple love this place, this street of Malaysia that full of Malaysia Couture.

Experience and feel it then u will love it.

The Famous ChinaTown's Petaling Street In Malaysia

What's actually famous in Malaysia? What's actually really attractive about Malaysia?

Forget about all the fancy high class places, fancy decor or fancy stores.
The most exciting food and shopping place in Malaysia is found on the street.

You won't find fancy decor, mood lighting or crisp tablecloths. It's purely about the food.

Food cooked in a furious fashion, served on plastic plates, and eaten whilst standing,

or if you're lucky perched on a plastic stool that teeters precariously on the side of the road.

In Kuala Lumpur you'll find a famous street- The ChinaTown's Petaling Street.
A wide and long shopping street of food stalls and open air restaurants by day and night.

Aunty frying " Kuew Teow" mee with the air of thick with charcoal smoke,
men fan away at satay grills of chicken and beef.

Locals inspecting rambutan and mangosteen tied together with plastic twine,

diners at rickety plastic tables spilling their way across the street,

and an occasional car slowly and cautiously go its way through the tide of people.

Here is the famous street- Petaling Street.

Here is the bus stop who normally people stop here to get to Petaling Street.

ChinaTown's Petaling Street is actually served by a good public transportation.

There are plenty of train stations nearby here, you can either take the LRT or KTM or Monorail

to reach all within a walking distance or taking bus.

As mentioned, forget about all the fancy decor,

here is a really old noodles store served by plastic plates and tables.

I actually love this kind of different feeling.

These are the store and workers that they survive them with a business everyday.

Forget about eating gentlely, gradually, slowly, beautifully or whatever we used to do be.

Now is the day and time for yourself to be different!

Eat whatever look you want to, as long as you happy, comfort and enjoy the food!

No one is looking at you! You are just like a free bird!

This is my always favorite! - Apam Balik

80 sen per piece. Very cheap and delicious.

1 thing that different from the street is, there's no outlook for the food, but only taste.

The look of the food really not good at all, but the taste of the food really yummy!

So who cares?

Back in the olden days when Malaysia was still known as ‘Tanah Melayu’ or Malaya,

the Chinese had come to this country to work at the tin mines.

However, during the Selangor Civil War, the tin mines were temporarily abandoned.

The Chinese returned after the war, only to find the mines flooded.

Yap Ah Loy, an influential Chinese figure back then, had opened a tapioca mill

on Petaling Street in his bid to persuade the Chinese to stay on.

To this day, Petaling Street is sometimes called ‘Chee Cheong Kai’, meaning ‘Starch Factory Street’

in Cantonese, referring to its history as the centre for the production of tapioca flour back then.

Since then, Petaling Street has been given a facelift.

Gone are the patchy roads, broken pavements and colourful umbrellas

attached to wooden pushcarts lining the street on both sides.
( History of China Town's Petaling Street)

A green awning covers the length of the street,

acting as a roof to shield vendors and shoppers from the heat and the rain.

An Oriental-style archway with the words ‘Jalan Petaling/Petaling Street

’ spelled out in gold letters greets visitors at its main entrance.

Soya Bean for RM 1.30 per cup! Very very tasty and healthy!

For shoppers who are looking for cheap and cheerful ‘branded’ goods,

Petaling Street will be their first stop as it offers not only variety but
also value for money as the prices can be bargaining for any items.

You can even get "branded" goods, fake branded
like GUCCI, LouisVuitton, Channel with only 20 bucks or less than each.

Everything can be find really very low price here compare to other places.

Must always emember, most of the items sold here will first bear a higher marked price,

so don’t be afraid to bid lower, and feel free to shop around The ChinaTown's Petaling Street.

It is the culture here and you will find it interesting.

Do you afraid to grow old? Do you afraid getting older year by year?
Do you afraid what gonna be in future when you no longer a youngster?
When you not able and manage to do anything else by your own self?

Everyone would turn older year by year, the truth that we have no doubt to deny it. .

Historically, we can hardly do anything to hold our youngness, this is not essential for our life .

There is one day, we are no longer young, deprivation of memories,

lost of judgement, blurry sight all come to us .

For personality thinking, the most important is how we get use of the rest of time we have .

My mom was running an organization named Caring Old folks Home

which take care of those old folks without paying .

Most of them were octogenarian that never get marriage, without children. Living without prides.

Besides that, Down Syndrome, single moms, children home, drug rehab

which needed help is under the organizations too.

Thankyou to God, I got the opportunities to see the other world from my mom's job.

Perceived love, caring, tolerance, keenness, diligent,

conversation are always needed in a big family, and we have to learn from it.

It may be imperfect if without one of above, unless you contribute willingly and selflessly .

Mom used to emphasize the important of being discipline among the old folks.

She wanted them to be dependent, realizing it's never agonize of being alone.

Everyone has their own job to implement without unfairly,

some of them in part of cooking, some of them mopping the floor,

some of them folding the clothes without grudge inside them.

Both of them are down syndrome that staying in the home.

They can be very independent without anyone to help.

They feed themselves, wash cloths, wash dishes and everything by their own.

There's something that they are different from us,
we are too complicated and they are just too simple naive.

Mom is a prestigious women that respected by others, she did things perfectly and flawless.

She uses the ability that God gave to her to spread out love as much as she can and she could,

I guess one day her love would be conveyed nationwide.

It's my mum, me and the lovely adorable down syndrome name HongZai in the home.

Here some stories that I would like to share, you will get to know what life meant,

and the cruelness happened on them changed their life. I literally learnt from their experiences.

He is Uncle Timothy, 87 years old.

He can dance very well, talk very good. He is a English educated.

He actually owned 2 son in passed 30 years ago, but no longer having any son currently.

Both sons are professional, I remember one of them is a doctor either.

So what being a doctor? Help and cure and treat the people,

but left the father who educated him being a doctor in the old folks home.

Never appear for 25 years since their father trying to get them.

Felt so sad and sorry to Uncle Timothy. May God bless him.

However, he been treated the best from the home. =)

She is one of the down syndrome who named Esther.

Guess how old is she?

She is a very naive girl, very pure just like a white paper that never get any dirt.

Her life is all about simpleness, briefness, happiness and easygoing.

Nothing is complicated for her, she don't know anything about complicated.

She is just like a kid. A never grow up kid.

Her life is as simple as a kid do from she born-ed until the day she die.

She is actually a 40 years old woman but with a 4 years old mind.

We promised to love our old folks like how we love our parent.
We promised to give the best life for the old folks, so they feel like in a warm family.
They are not dumped, they are not alone, they are not lonely.
They are treasure, they are dearest.

We did always organized one day trip, family trip for the old folks to continue enjoy their life,
but not only staying in the home to waiting the time to pass.

This trip is organized by British America Tobacco company to had a ride on cruise at Putrajaya!
Millions thanks to (BAT) that organized and spent their time to created an
really unforgettable and memorable trip for our old folks that they did enjoy real much.

Yes, we have our own Rumah Caring uniform.

Everyone of us will put on our uniform for every function or trip day out.

We are one big family!

The True real happiness in Life.
It's my mum and the little adorable down syndrome HongZai.
Mcdonald time with the children and old folks.

Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise.
