Petaling Street

Near my Hostel, Serrai Inn was Petaling Street, a chinatown in Kuala Lumpur. It's infamous for selling pirated goods. When I was here a bunch of cops strolled through the area. The result was a bunch of vendors pushing their carts away really quickly. I assume they were selling pirated goods.

The Chinese communities here are Cantonese and Hakka. They came to work the mines as coolies when the British Empire ruled Malaysia.

I assume these were guys selling pirated goods running from the cops.

Just outside Petaling Street was some fried bananas. I looooooved these. They were so good.

This curry puff was sold right next to my hostel. I really enjoyed them. I'd pick a few up at the beginning of my day and take them with me for when I needed a snack.

Lake Garden KL

Lake Garden KL was where I walked to after visiting the National Mosque. It has some nice gardens and a little restaurant where you can eat. The restaurant is called Hornbill Cafe and Restaurant. Hornbill birds could approach your table if you sit outside. They're quite loud and not shy about asking for food. Just outside the cafe were a small band of monkeys playing around.
