Just down the street from the guest house we’re staying in is Chow Kit Market. We were actually under the impression that it was a huge hawker style area where we could get good local food for a good price. Instead, it turned out to be a sprawling, mostly covered wet market. It was definitely wet too. The floors were cut with grooves to help water flow out of the market and into the drainage system.
It was pretty cool to walk through. We saw everything from fresh veggies to cat fish so fresh they were still flopping. I wonder if there’s something similar in Singapore and we just haven’t seen it yet?
Walking through this market was also the first time I noticed just how many Malaysian flags are flying in Kuala Lumpur. They’re everywhere. Malaysians are definitely proud of their country.
Enjoy the photos!
