Jalan Petaling, main street in Chinatown district, is great for budget shopping. The place is usually crowded both with locals and tourists; it is probably one of the most lively and busy streets in Kuala Lumpur. Most goods sold here aren't of the highest quality, but if you have enough patience to browse around, you can find some really interesting items: unique handbags, shoes, jewellery, and souvenirs.
The area has dozens of restaurants and food stalls, serving local favourites such as Hokkien mee (fried noodles cooked in Fujian style), Ikan Bakar (Malaysian barbecued fish), and traditional Chinese tea.

One of the best places to have a drink and relax after an intensive day of shopping is Sky Bar. Located on the 33rd floor of the Traders Hotel, the bar offers spectacular views of Petronas Towers and a chic, cosmopolitan atmosphere. It was named 'Best Malaysian Bar' by Malaysia Tatler.
