Petaling Street and Its Environs

One of two main Entrances to Petaling Street

The Dayabumi Building Looming in the near Distant

Yes, its Petaling Street-the haven of the tourists. Unlike Portabello Road in London,tourists come here specifically for imitation designer goods. You can never get such goods galore in a Western country.

In the morning hours,though it is rather quiet. The hustle and bustle of the evenings has yet to come. The morning market is generally slow and pretty quiet. The food stalls being put up early are to cater for those going to work. Cooked food in many varieties are placed alongside the roads. Here, you can get yam cakes, a cup of tea as well as porridge with Chinese croissants as well as Western breakfast and tim sum.

There will be a few cars moving in Petaling Street until the evening when they would not be let in anymore.

So, here I was just walking in the morning air. I took a few shots of the buildings around Petaling Street.
