mostly Chinese roofed street market (food, bargain for fake branded goods)

- Open all day until around 11pm
- and don’t forget to negotiate, price can be brought down up to 70%!

Be careful buying pirated DVDs (music CDs are usually fine) in Chinatown as they tend to be of bad quality and you won’t be able to return them. You are better off buying them in the shopping malls around Bukit Bintang.
