Name of Shop: Chinatown
Well.. there wasn't a category that summed up Petaling Street in Chinatown, KL so I went for an all-encompassing "Discount Store". This is basically a flea market type street like Patpong in Bangkok without the sleazy girly bars and chock-a-block with stall vendors selling anything you could ever want.. and then some! Go with an open mind and aim to sharpen/hone your bargaining skills!... you may say you won't support piracy or be caught dead in designer fakes, but my friend... come walk this way and see if your convictions are still that strong ;)))
What To Buy: You can get anything you want at great prices.. your designer replicas, Gucci winter fur-lined coats even!, t-shirts, leather goods, jewelry, accessories, also brilliant copies of latest before-release-in-Europe DVDs/CDs, even cheap Cable TV remote controls for RM15, mobile phone batteries and chargers, covers, etc. etc. Fake watches a-PLENTY amongst others!!!
What To Pay: For watches: Ranging from your basic RM13.00 for made-in-china Gucci ladies watches all the way to those better quality ones which the stall vendors keep behind glass at the back (what they call Swiss machine watches made in Hong Kong... these are the 'real deals' baby!!) If you're really good, you can bargain a good behind-the-glass-cabinet-Tag Heuer down from RM250+ to RM150 but give or take RM10 or RM20 here and there... it's a good deal! I have friends who buy a watch a month to keep up with the latest trends, crazy fun!
