#mymymemories Central Market or Pasar Seni is a well known place for tourists and travelers in Kuala Lumpur. It's also a hangout place for youngsters and family during weekend as its easy access by public transportation such as buses, train, MRT, LRT and Grab. I had so much fond memories of this place as this is the place I went to with my friends during my teenage days to find supplies for our studying or just come here to eat and lepak before we catch a bus at Puduraya to go back to our hometown. As at when I have a time, I will come here with my little family to share with them the memory I had here and also to create a new memories with them. ❤️

I was worried because it rains a lot in Kuala Lumpur, but it didn't rain once for 4 days!! There were more beautiful places than I thought, and taxi fares were cheap, so it was really nice to be able to go anywhere easily. When I went to Batu Caves, there was an accident where rocks collapsed inside the cave, but there were no injuries in the huge crowd~ And the monkeys in Batu Caves are the cutest in the world. You should definitely go~

#springitinerary Outside the iconic Central Market, I stumbled upon the vibrant Sukaseni pop-up event—an exciting celebration of Malaysian creativity, culture, and community. The pop-up stalls brought new life to the area, featuring everything from handcrafted fashion accessories and artisanal crafts to local street food that filled the air with mouthwatering aromas. Each stall showcased a unique slice of Malaysia’s rich artistic spirit, blending traditional elements with modern flair. Live art, cultural performances, and interactive booths made it a lively and immersive experience. Whether you’re hunting for unique souvenirs, trying delicious bites, or soaking up local artistry, the Sukaseni pop-up is a must-visit cultural gem that beautifully complements the Central Market’s heritage vibe.

The Central Art Square in Kuala Lumpur, also known as the Central market Kuala Lumpur Originally a fresh market when it opened in 1888, it was converted into a Malaysian arts and crafts market after 1986 It has also become a local cultural monument because of its long history When you come to Kuala Lumpur, you can arrange a half-day walk around Kuala Lumpur’s Central Arts Place and Petaling Street to feel the local culture and tradition Compared to Petaling Street, which is full of counterfeit goods, the merchandise of Central Art Place is relatively much better in texture In addition to common designs, there are also many finely crafted crafts, looking for exquisite Malaysian souvenir recommendations to stroll here. Be careful though, while we are walking down the street, some Islamic girls will suddenly come to you, reach out, it turns out they want you to give them money, after we think about it, then ignore them and leave. Asked local citizens and it turns out they are refugees, which they often do! Actually a bit shy!

First time having chinese mee tarik. Quite tempting n superb. Gonna repeat next time
